Here it is, a full, animated, narrated documentary on the Battle of Thermopylae, fought in 480 B.C., during the Greco-Persian Wars!

Approximately 7,000 Greeks led by King Leonidas and 300 Spartans faced off against a massive Persian army, rumored to have had over 1 million men (today, estimated at 300,000), led by the Persian King, Xerxes I. The vastly outnumbered Greeks held off the Persians for seven days (including three of battle) in one of the most famous last stands in history
