In this history documentary we explore the immediate aftermath of the famous battle of Thermopylae. This famous clash between the Greeks and Persians is always mentioned as a major point in studies of the Greco Persian Wars. And yet once mention, the narrative often jumps to the next clash at the Battle of Salamis. Here we choose to linger upon the battlefield itself to see what was the fate of the defeated Greeks and how both the Persians and Greek Allies plotted their next moves. This involves the slaughter of the 300 spartans, the corpse of Leonidas, the story of the hidden dead, the branding of the captives and more.

In follow up episodes we will cover the rest of the Second Greco Persian War with the Battle Salamis, the Battle of Plataea, and the counter-offensive against the Persian Empire.
