Leonidas I Net Worth

1 year from now

Leonidas I was the 17th ruler of the Agiad dynasty and King of Ancient Sparta. Despite being exempt from the agoge, the rigorous education and martial training program that all male citizens of the city were subjected to, Leonidas underwent it just the same. Nine years into his reign, Greece was attacked by the Persian emperor Xerxes I and Leonidas led the 7000 allied Greek forces against the invading Persian army of 300,000 at the Battle of Thermopylae. Despite the Greek army being killed, Leonidas and his martyred warriors have become the symbol of patriotism and sacrifice and their battle tactics the matters of discourse in military schools.

Famous Quotes:

For you, inhabitants of wide-wayed Sparta,
Either your great and glorious city must be wasted by Persian men,
Or if not that, then the bound of Lacedaemon must mourn a dead king, from Heracles' line.
The might of bulls or lions will not restrain him with opposing strength; for he has the might of Zeus.
I declare that he will not be restrained until he utterly tears apart one of these.
