0 Guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) Thermopylae and King Xerxes at Thermopylae the Persians sent ships to destroy the guardians of the pass, but the Athenian fleet stopped them and destroyed the Persian fleet. Persian kings used the "immortals", spear men who were named such because there were always more of them in Persia. And most should know about the stand of the 300spartans and the 1000 archers of Thebes. sadness, i wrote for too long Edited March 4, 2009 by Ventum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Nicely put riddle..i had no clue and only after the answer was posted did i google and read the whole story... The time is August 480 b.c.; the place, Thermopylae, Greece; the occasion, the aftermath of a great battle. A vast army of Persians was on the march to conquer Greece. A small force of Greeks had been all that stood in their way. And yet, in a pass that narrows to a space smaller than a baseball diamond, the impossible almost happened. For three days, just over seventy-one hundred Greeks, spearheaded by an elite unit of three hundred Spartans, gave a savage beating to a Persian army that outnumbered them by perhaps 20-to-1. About 150,000 men willing to die for the glory of Xerxes, the Persian Great King, came up against the most efficient killing machine in history. Thanks for posting such a riddle...

Question
Guest
at battles onset a fearless stand.
The enemy so small in number,
they shall soon all find eternal slumber
our mighty fleet tossed asunder
it really makes me start to wonder
how can we stop them, these mighty few
we outman them a over hundred to two
how can they fight on, how can they resist,
the immortal fingers of my divine fist
one last hope far out of our way
could we finally slay them on this dreary day
hurrah! At last.
We’ve finally got them in this accursed pass
my patience was ending, my confidance gone
if these few could stop us do we dare move on
what battle is this and who am i?
