  Thermopylae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name, roughly translated means, "hot gateway", named for several natural hot water springs there.
Thermopylae is part of the infamous "horseshoe of Maliakos" also known as the "horseshoe of death": it is the narrowest part of the highway connecting the north and the south of Greece, it has many turns and has been the site of many vehicular accidents.
The hot springs from which the pass derived its name still exist close to the foot of the hill.

 Battle of Thermopylae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the time, the mountain pass of Thermopylae consisted of a pass so narrow that two chariots could barely move abreast—on the western side of the pass stood the sheer side of the mountain, while the east side was the sea.
Along the path was a series of three "gates," and at the center gate a short wall that had been erected by the Phocians in the previous century to aid in their defense against Thessalian invasions.
Steven Pressfield in Gates Of Fire, depicts the battle as told by a squire of Dienekes, who had been wounded during the fight, but was revived to tell Xerxes of the Spartans heroism.

 Amazon.com: Gates of Fire: An Epic Novel of the Battle of Thermopylae: Books: Steven Pressfield   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Rich with historical detail, hot action and crafty storytelling, Pressfield's riveting story reveals the social and political framework of Spartan life?ending with the hysteria and brutality of the spear-thrusting, shield-bashing clamor that defined a Spartan's relationship with his family, community, country and fellow warriors.
The battle is recorded in Book VII of Herodotus' "Histories." When the Spartans repeatedly repel Xerxes' stunned forces, Herodotus details the scene thus: "...it became clear to all, and especially to the king [Xerxes], that though he had plenty of men, he had but very few warriors." (Histories, Book VII, trans: George Rawlinson).
Gates of Fire is a wonderful story, vividly told and built on "page-turner" techniques as effective as any I've ever met.

 Gates of Fire -- book review
At the narrow mountain pass in eastern Greece known as Thermopylae, "the Hot Gates," this finely honed and fiercely honorable group would hold back the invaders long enough to give the other armies of Greece a few vital days to rally a larger defense against the Asian hordes.
Pressfield succeeds by clever device: the story of Thermopylae and the men who gave their all there is being recorded by a secretary of the Persian king after the fact.
Relating the narrative to the scrivener is a gravely wounded Spartan squire convinced that his patron god, Apollo, allowed him to survive just so he might give the world the story of the courage and camaraderie that the Spartans brought to their deaths at the blood-soaked Hot Gates.
