Hi all,
Interestingly, I was teaching a course on Greek warfare at adult education and one of my students was at Thermopylae in 1942(? or was it earlier) and defending the mountain pass. He said it was quite exposed once you were there and was little surprise to him that they (the British in WWII) abandonned the position.
Cheers
