Hellò! I have been there , all alone by motorbike, some years ago to visit your great country and visit the places where our civilization was born. I visit Thermophili, the place where Leonida and his heroical friends fight to stop the first attempt to invasion from east, leaving whole Europe to grow free. I still wait for someone who translate for me the iscription at the base of the statue of the Great Hero. I'm curios to know.. Thank you and greetings from Udine (north-east Italy) Thank you.

Hi Mauro and thanks for your kind message. I, in my turn, have a special affection to Italy and visit it once every one-two years. Have been mainly to the north: Venice, Verona, Alessandria etc. Let alone that my great grand mother was Italian. Now to answer your question: on the base of the statue, it is written: "Molon Lave". In the ancent Laconian (Spartan) dialect this means "Come and get them". It is supposed to be the answer Leonidas gave to Xerxes when Xerxes demanded that the Spartans, being ridiculously few, surrender and deliver up their arms. Braveness echoing throughout the centuries.
