At one point or another each side pwn3d the other. And it wasn't just the Spartans at Thyrempolae(?). There were 300 Spartans yes, with King Leodinus(?) but they had a Greek alliance over 20,000 strong. So... you can't say it was just BECAUSE of the Spartans. They were just the ones remembered after the battle for thier efforts and fighting, partly from the Greeks and partly from the Persians.

Acyually, you can. The Spartans held the Persians off long enough for the Greeks to gather. Persia would have had an open playing field id it weren't for them.
