Diodorus and Thermopylae
Although we usually turn to Book VII of Herodotus to read about the Persian War, there are other accounts of the Battle of Thermopylae where the 300 Spartans famously sacrificed themselves for the good of all the Greeks, including that of Diodorus Siculus (c. 90 - c. 30 B.C.), who wrote about the Battle of Thermopylae in his Bibliotheke Books 11-16.
