                                          King Leonidas


          King Leonidas was a great king, but one day the Athenians
  called to the Spartans becausethe Persians wanted to burn
  their city to the ground but the  Spartans answered the
 Athenians calls so the Spartans got ready for battle.
 This is a sadstory because 300 and more  Spartans die,
              but the Persians losses werevengreaterthan10,000.
            The story is called the Battle of Thermopylae or  the last stand of the 300 Spartans.
           How the Spartans fight is that the Spartans line upand
         put their shields in front of themselves. Each shield
       overlaps one another and when the enemy forces into
       them, the Spartans in the back reinforce the front. That
       way they don’t move when the enemy moves back. The
       Spartans put their right hands out with their shields, and
       put their spears under or over your head. If you were in
       the second row, you would put your spear above the first
       row’s heads. If you were in the first row you would put
      your spear under your shield and when the enemy moved
      forward again, you would pull your spear back and thrust
       the spear forward. But if you lost your spear you would
       use your sword.
       A tragic end of the Spartans: the Persians came from
       behind and King Leonidas got killed by a Persian arrow.
      There was a big battle for Leonidas body. The Persian
       arrows killed the rest of them.
