The Battle of Thermopylae was a conflict that involved several Greek forces fighting against the invading Persian Empire. Thermopylae was a mountain path by the sea, where the Sparta leader Leonidas I, three hundred Spartans, seven hundred Thespians, four hundred Thebans, and nine hundred Helots defended the pass from the Persians.

Julian Bashir, fascinated with last stands, had a holoprogram featuring the battle. He planned to get Ezri Dax to join him. (DS9 episode: "What You Leave Behind", DS9 - Section 31 novel: Abyss)
