The natural medicinal hot thermal springs have therapeutic and
rejuvenating qualities. Their water we see today is rain that fail
20,000 years ago, that seeped down through the earth surface to a
depth of deeper than 3000 metres. Natural heat raised the temperature
to between 64-96 degrees centigrade. The water rises up to the surface
through fissures pumping thousands of gallons a day into the wellhead
and contains many different minerals.

THERMOPYLES ( THERMOPYLAE ) ( HOT GATES ) : The thermal springs of
Thermopyles were known since antiquity, and the existence of the
thermal mineral water, flowing through the narrow pass of land, gave
the name of the area 'thermo' and 'pyles' ( gates ). In the Mythology
the Goddess Athena, ordered her brother God Hephaestus, to create the
thermal springs of Thremopyles, as a gift to the Hero Hercules, for
him, to have medicinal bathing, and to heal his traumas ( wounds )
after his contests.

IPATI : The mineral waters of Ipati, come to the surface, most
probably at the year 427 B.C. ( before Christ ), during a strong
earthquake, that occured at that time, and caused heavy damages in the
whole area of Sterea Ellada and in the island of Evoia. The spring was
honored to the Goddess Aphrodite ( Venus ).

AEDIPSOS : The thermal waters of Aedipsos were known since the fourth
( 4rth ) cenctury B.C. ( before Christ ). They were named "Thermae of
the Hero Hercules", like the thermal springs of Thermopyles. The same
myth applies here too. Aedipsos was well famous for the Mineral
Tourism since the Roman Empire era.

Plot summary for The 300 Spartans

Essentially true story of how Spartan king Leonidas led an extremely
small army of Greek Soldiers (300 of them his personal body guards
from Sparta) to hold off an invading Persian army more than 20 times
as large. The actual heroism of those who stood (and ultimately died)
with Leonidas helped shape the course of Western Civilization,
allowing the Greek city states time to organize an army which repelled
the Persians. Set in 480 BC.

Memorable quotes for
The 300 Spartans (1962)

Narrator: Across the hush of 24 centuries, this is the story of a
turning point in history, of a blazing day when 300 Greek warriors
fought here to hold with their lives their freedom and ours.

Xerxes, Persian King: It was my father's dream. One world, one master.
But to Marathon ten years ago he sent a mere wave. I am leading an
ocean!

Themistocles of Athens: The whole of Asia is descending upon us. Many
times more men than there are Greeks. These men are fierce, savage,
bloodthirsty, merciless. But that is not the reason why we should fear
them. That is not the source of their power. Their power lies in their
unity. Unity! Remember that one terrible word which will surely
destroy Greece, unless we counter it with a unity of our own. A unity
of free men fighting together resisting this united tide of tyranny.

Leonidas, Spartan King: A Spartan king cannot act without the
authority of his people. But I know my people, and I know they will
fight.
Themistocles of Athens: Will they lead all others?
Leonidas, Spartan King: Sparta will fight, whether others will follow
or not.

Leonidas, Spartan King: The council must act quickly
Xenathon, Spartan Isolationist: Why?
Leonidas, Spartan King: In order that we Spartans may reach the first
line of defense in time.
Xenathon, Spartan Isolationist: And where might that be?
Leonidas, Spartan King: The Pass of Thermopylae.
Xenathon, Spartan Isolationist: Thermopylae, of course. That's the
pass that protects Athens.
Leonidas, Spartan King: No! It's the pass that protects GREECE! Mere
cities don't matter now. It is Greece that counts! Only by being
united can we hope to avoid slavery. Now, I am no politician, but I
will plead this cause with you until the moon wanes and the night
brings forth a new day!

Themistocles of Athens: Truth is a heady wine. A politician must never
exaggerate people's capacity for it.

Leonidas, Spartan King: Spartans! We have reached Thermopylae. The
orders a From this wall, we do not retreat!

Demaratus, Exiled Spartan King: The Spartans will certainly fight,
whether reinforcements arrive or not.
Xerxes, Persian King: Why, they are mad. I cannot think why you would
want to be king of such an extraordinary people, Demaratus. I shall
capture them alive and put them in cages to exhibit them all over
Persia.

Pentheus, Leonidas' Second in Command: He saved my life, Leonidas.
Leonidas, Spartan King: I know that. He also disobeyed orders.
[to Phylon]
Leonidas, Spartan King: In wartime, the punishment is death. You know
that Phylon.
Phylon, son of Grellas: Yes.
Leonidas, Spartan King: So death it will be.
[to Agathon]
Leonidas, Spartan King: Get him his armor and a red cloak. That's the
only way for Spartans to die these days.

Demaratus, Exiled Spartan King: The Spartans will certainly fight,
whether reinforcements arrive or not.
Xerxes, Persian King: Why, they are mad. I cannot think why you would
want to be king of such an extraordinary people, Demaratus. I shall
capture them alive and put them in cages and exhibit them all over
Persia.

Hydarnes, Commander of the Immortals: [Xerxes has sent an emissary to
demand the Spartan surrender] yesterday, we only probed your
positions. When we attack today, our arrows will blot out the sun!
Leonidas, Spartan King: Good; then we will fight in the shade.
Hydarnes, Commander of the Immortals: Leonidas; you cannot win this
fight.
Leonidas, Spartan King: Every day we stand is another day for Greece.
[Starts to walk off]
Hydarnes, Commander of the Immortals: Leonidas, wait! Xerxes says that
if you and your men lay down your arms, he will allow you to leave
peaceably.
Leonidas, Spartan King: [In Greek] Come and take them!

Agathon the Spartan Spy: Leonidas! The barbarians have sent an
emissary to talk with you. It is Hidarnes himself.
Leonidas, Spartan King: Hidarnes? Good, get me a clean cloak.
Agathon the Spartan Spy: How many men do you want for an escort?
Leonidas, Spartan King: [Scornfully] When has a Spartan king needed an
escort to talk to a mere Persian?

Gorgo, Leonidas' Wife: In the absence of your dead mother, I present
you this shield and say to you
[speaking in Greek]
Gorgo, Leonidas' Wife: 'Return with the shield or on it'.
Woman at Shield Ceremony: What does that mean?
Ellas, Leonidas' Niece: Either return carrying this shield in victory
or carried on the shield in death.

Leonidas, Spartan King: Why were you not in council?
Agathon the Spartan Spy: Because I'm not a good liar. I don't want to
frighten them.
Leonidas, Spartan King: Then the army is as enormous as they say?
Agathon the Spartan Spy: Leonidas, it is bigger than anything you can
imagine. For six days, I watched them pass. Six days! I ran out of
numbers and still more of them came. They're drinking the rivers dry.
And at night there are more of their campfires than there are stars in
the sky!
Leonidas, Spartan King: Good. When I was a boy, I always wanted to
reach the stars with my spear.

Narrator: "Oh, Stranger, tell the Spartans that we lie here obedient
to their word." This last message of the fallen heroes rallied Greece
to victory, first at Salamis, as predicted, and then at Plataea. But
it was more than a victory for Greece. It was a stirring example to
free people throughout the world of what a few brave men can
accomplish once they refuse to submit to tyranny.

Thermoplyae.

to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for
democracy.

sacrifice embodied by the Spartan warriors who fought one of the
greatest battles in history. Co-written and directed by Zack Snyder

Comment below written by: Xenophon

I am from Greece, the tomb of our unknown soldier depicts a soldier
from that heroic age. Thermopyles was truly defining, the efforts and
sacrifice made 2,500yrs ago led to the Classical Period and we are
grateful for this. For Greeks especially yes we feel patriotism but
for many and above all else it's an undying gratitude for their
bravery as history acknowledges they held true till their last breath.

Spartan women also had more rights than the women of Athens which many
Athenian elitist regarded as unworthy of education, their roles
limited to cooking and spinning wool. Spartan women however were
afforded a strong voice and rights and some more, they could own land
also and they maintained government while their husbands and sons
defended their homeland. Queen Gorgo Leonidas' wife is famous in
Greece for replying to an Athenian aristocrat "Only Spartan women give
birth to men".

If it were not for Leonidas drawing that line in the sand the
Classical age of Greece would never have existed. Xerxes would have
enslaved all of Greece, marched onto Magna Grecia conquering the Greek
colonies in southern Italy, proceeded unto a Rome still in its infancy
and trounced it before it too could rise to the prominence we all know
of. Persian would be the lingua franca. Some will argue but it didn't
matter the outcome of this battle as Persians had some advancements,
yes that is true but could they have engendered the type of inquiry
that was the product of Classical Greece? Many scholars disagree. The
reason being that theory and inquiry was forbidden, the rare instances
it was allowed was only in the presence of a master.

The Greeks could have held the pass long enough for the remaining
larger army to arrive if they were not cheated by the traitor
Elphiates who's name means nightmare for Greeks 2,500yrs later still!!
So you see although it is easier for some to be cynical about issues -
no matter the outcome many years from now only a few will be
remembered as brave But some will also be eternally remembered for
their cowardice and spite. This is true.

Leonidas did not have to fight at Thermopyles, an authoritative
council was against it but he sensed impending enslavement and
submission where others did not, PC and politics was never going to
stand in the way of defending his homeland and that he achieved as a
King, a leader and a free man alongside other free brave men. Itan I
Ipitas. The Thespians also did not have to stay until the last man, it
was not in their creed as it was of Sparta. It's in times of
uncertainty bravery conquers all other feelings..

Here is a video from Greece of Leonidas, The Spartans, the song in it
is a famous poem called Axion Isti, translated - "It is worthy". We
cry when we here this song because we are grateful for sacrifices made
for our freedom throughout the ages.

May I say also that dhimmitude is overrated, we know this in Greece
for close to 500yrs under the Ottomans. We wish Leonidas and his men
were alive then to defend us from dark centuries.. but alas.
Liberalism and appeasement will not defend us from captivity and much
worse, nor will surrender and retreat. It's men like Leonidas' 300 and
Thespia's brave that save the day for the rest of us...

We have a saying in Greece also "opou zhs kai patris", where you are
is home. We know for ourselves in our hearts what is this place of
value, if not then we are still searching like Jason in the Odyssey..
Ithaki is an island of the west coast of Greece, in ancient times it
was renowned for the happiness its citizens enjoyed, Homer uses its
significance as a place of cheer and contentment symbolically for all
of us... it's why those who know their Ithaki, its true value and
richness will defend it as much as they cherish it also, it's also why
miserable people who are always negative cynical and nasty don't know
how to bravely defend anything of real value... it's missing from
their hearts to begin with.

God bless America and its proud citizens who know its worth. God bless
and protect your brave men and women in uniform everywhere.
