Mendenitsa
Mendenitsa, in the Middle Ages known as Bodonitsa or Vodonitsa (Βοδονίτσα), is a village on Mt. Kallidromo in Phthiotis, Greece. It is part of the municipality of Molos. During the late Middle Ages, it was the seat of the Marquisate of Bodonitsa. The Frankish castle, which still survives, was founded on the ruins of an ancient city, often identified as Pharygai, which in turn is sometimes equated with Homeric Tarphe.

Battle of Thermopylae
The Battle of Thermopylae was fought between an alliance of Greek city-states, led by King Leonidas of Sparta, and the Persian Empire of Xerxes I over the course of three days, during the second Persian invasion of Greece. It took place simultaneously with the naval battle at Artemisium, in August or September 480 BC, at the narrow coastal pass of Thermopylae ('The Hot Gates').

Battle of Thermopylae in popular culture
The Battle of Thermopylae of 480 BC has long been the topic of cultural inspiration, as it is perhaps the most famous military last stand of all time. This "against all odds" story is passed to us from the writings of the Greek Herodotus, who was not present at the battle himself. He relates the story of 300 Spartans and 700 Thespians defending the Pass of Thermopylae against almost "2 million" Persians on the third day of the battle.
