Spring, 480 B.C., the Persian king Xerxes, the production plan of his father Dariu is continuing to overcome the hellenischen town states, it comes in Hellas. The previous Persian invasion and diplomatic attempts have already turned the most northern Hellas trunks and states to the Persian side. But the people of Athens and Sparta, the biggest hellenischen powers at the moment, feel completely offended by the request of the Persian envoys to arise Xerxes, and to murder thus them. In Sparta king Leonidas questions the local oracle who gives two options: Either a Spartan king will have to be sacrificed, or Sparta is burnt to the ground. A year earlier (in 481 B.C.) a Panhellenic syndicate of all southern town states had already recognised the superiority of the Spartan army (the best organised, and educated army at the moment), and had explained king Leonidas as the highest commander of the united hellenischen army. Then it is decided that a small strength should block the way from Xerxes to southern Hellas in the Thermopylae passageway. At that time this passageway was, 12 metres wide. The big historian Herodotu, maybe exaggerating, finds out that there were 1,700,000 Persians (her true number could have been somewhere from 100,000 to 1,000,000) against 7,000 hellenische hoplites and slaves, including 300 men of the Spartan king-selection guard. King Xerxes waited for four days for the Hellenes which is to be frightened and is to be arisen, finally, and became by the whole indifference of his opponents, completely surprises. Xerxes tried to persuade Leonidas, to drop weapons, to give up his position, to kneel before him and living on as a local governor under Xerxes. King Leonidas answered “molon lave,” what means, “arrival and get them. ” The 3-day fight, began with 300 Spartans and 700 Thespisjüngern (the other Hellenes, where sent, by Leonidas to protect passageways to her flanks), homicide thousands of Persians with minimum losses. The whole Persian campaign would have failed if it had not been for Efialtes who showed a secret passageway to the hellenischen flanks Xerxes. After a final fight which is led by king Xerxes itself the hellenische strength was murdered and her heroism, and fame was written for good in the history. From the beginning of the fight buried of the Hellenes her dead people in the point where they fell. Then you fight with sign, where made, for the dead people of every hellenischen faction. For the Pelloponisians (including 300 Spartans) the sign in general read (free translation) “in this place fought 4,000 Pelloponisians with 30 millions). ” For 300 Spartans (Lakaedaemonians) the sign (free translation) “reads oh foreigner to say the Lakaedaemonians that we are buried here, never hesitated to her laws after,” meaning, that they and never pulled back themselves from the enemy. The influence of the fight was huge for both sides. The morality of the Persians fell on zero, and the Hellenes her fear lost for the Persian conqueror and organised her defence. After several successful fights the Persian army thwarted of the Hellenes, finally, and drove back her invasion in the fight of Plataea in 479 B.C.. Es ist Frühling 480 v. Chr., der persische König Xerxes, den Produktionsplan seines Vaters Dariu fortsetzend, um die hellenischen Stadtstaaten zu überwinden, kommt in Hellas an. Die vorherige persische Invasion und diplomatischen Versuche haben bereits nördlichste Hellas Stämme und Staaten zur persischen Seite gedreht. Aber die Leute Athens und Sparta, der größten hellenischen Mächte zurzeit, fühlen sich ganz beleidigt durch die Bitte der persischen Abgesandten, sich Xerxes zu ergeben, und so sie zu ermorden. In Sparta befragt König Leonidas das lokale Orakel, wer zwei Optionen gibt: Entweder ein spartanischer König wird geopfert werden müssen, oder Sparta wird zum Boden verbrannt. Ein Jahr früher (481 v. Chr.) hatte ein Panhellenic Konsortium aller südlichen Stadtstaaten bereits die Überlegenheit der spartanischen Armee anerkannt (das beste organisierte, und erzog Armee zurzeit), und hatte König Leonidas als der höchste Kommandant der vereinigten hellenischen Armee erklärt. Es wird dann entschieden, dass eine kleine Kraft den Weg von Xerxes zu südlichem Hellas im Thermopylae Durchgang blockieren sollte. Dieser Durchgang war damals, 12 Meter breit. Der große Historiker Herodotus, vielleicht das Übertreiben, stellt fest, dass es 1.700.000 Perser gab (ihre wahre Zahl könnte irgendwo von 100.000 bis 1.000.000 gewesen sein) gegen 7.000 hellenische hoplites und Sklaven, einschließlich der 300 Männer des spartanischen König-Auslesewächters. König Xerxes wartete auf vier Tage für den Hellenes, der zu erschrecken ist und sich schließlich zu ergeben ist und wurde durch die ganze Teilnahmslosigkeit seiner Gegner, ganz überrascht. Xerxes versuchte, Leonidas zu überzeugen, Waffen fallen zu lassen, seine Position aufzugeben, vor ihm und lebend auf als ein lokaler Gouverneur unter Xerxes zu knien. König Leonidas antwortete “molon lave,” was bedeutet, “Kommen und bekommen sie. ” Der dreitägige Kampf, begann mit den 300 Spartanern und 700 Thespisjüngern (der andere Hellenes, wo gesandt, durch Leonidas, um Durchgänge zu ihren Flanken zu schützen), Tötung Tausende von Persern mit minimalen Verlusten. Die ganze persische Kampagne hätte gescheitert, wenn es für Efialtes nicht gewesen wäre, wer Xerxes einen heimlichen Durchgang zu den hellenischen Flanken zeigte. Nach einem endgültigen Kampf, der von König Xerxes selbst geführt ist, war die hellenische Kraft ermordet und ihr Heldentum, und Ruhm wurde für immer in der Geschichte geschrieben. Vom Anfang des Kampfs begrub der Hellenes ihre Toten im Punkt, wo sie fielen. Dann kämpfen Sie mit Zeichen, wo gemacht, für die Toten jeder hellenischen Splittergruppe. Für den Pelloponisians (einschließlich der 300 Spartaner) das Zeichen allgemein gelesen (freie Übersetzung) “in diesem Platz kämpfte 4.000 Pelloponisians mit 30 Millionen). ” Für die 300 Spartaner (Lakaedaemonians) liest das Zeichen (freie Übersetzung) “Oh Ausländer, dem Lakaedaemonians zu sagen, dass wir hier begraben werden, ihren Gesetzen folgend,” meinend, dass sie nie zögerten und sich nie vom Feind zurückzogen. Der Einfluss des Kampfs war für beide Seiten enorm. Die Moral der Perser fiel auf Null, und der Hellenes verlor ihre Angst für den persischen Eroberer und organisierte ihre Verteidigung. Nach mehreren erfolgreichen Kämpfen vereitelte der Hellenes schließlich die persische Armee und trieb ihre Invasion im Kampf von Plataea in 479 v. Chr. zurück. |
