History

Molon Labe is a phrase that was rumored to be uttered at the Battle of Thermopylae. When Xerxes offered to spare the life of King Leonidas and his 300 Spartans, Leonidas is rumored to have responded with the phrase molon labe, which roughly translates as come and take them. Refusing to give up their arms and let the Persians pass, Leonidas and his men fought to the death over the course of three days to slow the advance of the Persian Army.
