I was a king and warrior of Sparta. I was taught how to become a killing machine ages 7 through 18. When I finished my training I went and had a child with the Queen of Sparta, Gorgo. My child’s name was Pleistarchus and then took the role of being king after I died. He was king until 480 BC through 458 BC which he died. I went and fought in The Battle Of Thermopylae. My army and I went up against Xerxes and Mardonius with over 70,000 men. Only me and my 299 men left our family back in Greece to go fight. Having been turned back by the Greeks in 490 BC at the Battle of Marathon, the Persians begin preparing a larger Journey to dominate Greece. Initially planned by Emperor Darius , the Plan was moved to his son Xerxes when he died in 486 BC.
