Battle of Thermopylae.
The clash of Greek and Persian forces in August of 480 BC at the narrow pass of Thermopylae during the Second Persian War. The battle became a symbol of sacrificing one's life on the battlefield. Under the mound at Thermopylae, where the Spartans were buried, there is now a stone plaque with the inscription: "Stranger, tell the Spartans that we lie here, obedient to their laws." The battle reflected Spartan ideals and cherished values. One of the proofs of Spartan bravery was the attitude they dared to take in the face of certain death - when Xerxes proposed surrendering the pass without a fight, Leonidas reportedly replied: "Come and take them".

Nothing strange, in fact, that there are no longer Spartans.
