Serapis also embodied as the Spartan king Leonidas (died c. 480 <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>.), who commanded the Greeks in their heroic stand against the immense Persian invasion at the pass of Thermopylae, gateway to central Greece.  
Серапис также воплощался царем Спарты Леонидом (умер около 480 года до н. э.), командовавшим греками, героически сопротивлявшимся вторжению бесчисленной персидской армии в горном проходе у Фермопил, который был вратами к центральной Греции.  


Although the Persians overwhelmingly outnumbered the Greeks, Leonidas resisted the advance of the Persian army under King Xerxes for two days. On the third day, when the Persians approached from the rear and no reinforcements were in sight, Leonidas dismissed most of his troops. Assisted by the remaining Greek allies, Leonidas and his three-hundred-member Spartan royal guard fought to the last man. Their heroic stand enabled the Greek fleet to retreat and later defeat the Persians. The example of Leonidas has helped to carry on the spark of national identity of the Greek nation.
