Explanation:
The battle of Thermopylae, commonly referred to as the "Hot Gates", was fought between the Spartan warriors commanded by King Leonidas and the Persian mega army commanded by their leader, Xerxes the first during the second Persian invasion of Greece. The estimated date of this battle was in the latter half of the year 480 BC.
When the massive Persian army approached the Hot Gates, a council of war was held to decide upon a military stratagem. It was finally decided that the Greek force commanded by Leonidas would defend Thermopylae while request for reinforcements would be sent as well. The pass of Thermopylae was the only road that the invaders could use to cross. Given how the Greeks were massively outnumbered, one of the soldiers complained that the arrows of the barbarians would make it impossible to see the sun. To this, a Greek warrior supposedly replied "that is good news. We will fight in the shade"
