Hathor pipes up , as witness to the incident . A kiss from a woman like that would make any man go head over heels . I mean , I can hardly keep my eyes off the lass . <| sep |> There were only 300 Spartans from the start on that battle . Spartans didn ' t want to send any more for religious reasons it was the year of a religious festival in Sparta as well as an Olympic year too . The real reason though was that the Spartans were interested in saving the Peloponnese from the Persians , believing that Athenians would escape to Sicily killing two birds with one stone . They gave in after much pressure , and when they realized that they wouldn ' t be able to fortify Isthmus in time . The initial force was about 7000 , and the plan was to stall the Persian forces , so that the defenses on Isthmus could be completed . When they discovered that Efialtes did show the alternative path to the Persians , the decision was made to save as many as possible , thus only the Spartans who viewed retreat as a disgrace and 1000 Thespians stayed to provide a further delay .
