A map of Thermopylae, where the 300 Spartans under Leonidas, together with 1100 men from Boeotia (Thespians and Thebans), fought and died* trying to hold back Xerxes' army.

The Ancient Greek phrase μολὼν λαβέ (reconstructed Ancient Greek means “Come and take them”. It is a classical expression of defiance reportedly spoken by King Leonidas I in response to the Persian army’s demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae. It is an exemplary use of a laconic phrase.
