Thermopylae was a pass along the route from northern to southern Greece. It was held temporirily to precipitate a sea battle by forcing the Persians to try to outflank the pass by sea: the Greeks wanted to destroy the Persian sea power which threatened the southern Greek cities and prevented them from concentrating their armies against the Persian army.
