Warning - best to listen to this episode with an adult! It's very thrilling and exciting!
Once upon a time in Ancient Greece ๐๏ธ, there was a hot spot called Thermopylae, nicknamed 'hell gate' ๐ฅ. King Leonides and his 300 Spartans ๐ก๏ธ stood brave against a massive army led by Xerxes, filled with elephants ๐, armored rhinos ๐ฆ, and lots of soldiers.
Xerxes' army was HUGE,! They wanted to conquer everything but hadn't faced the Spartans yet. Leonides, the cool king ๐คด, chose warriors with kids to ensure their families would go on.
"Tomorrow, we fight to protect our home from Xerxes!" Leonides rallied his troops. They were fearless and even made jokes about fighting in the shade if too many arrows ๐น came their way.
They reached Thermopylae, with a cliff on one side and a drop to the sea on the other, the perfect spot to stop a big army with a few brave hearts ๐ช. As Xerxes' noisy army approached, the Spartans got ready for the ultimate showdown.
As both sides prepared for another day of battle, a sneaky path was found ๐๐ฃ. Would it change the fate of the brave 300? How do you think a small path could make a big difference in a battle? ๐คโจ
