Pietro Pecco's video: Fortified hill of Kolonos @ Thermopylae Lamia Greece Europe

Kolonós Hill is a hill in Central Greece. It is located in the narrow coastal passage of Thermopylae and is close to the city of Lamia. The hill is known as the site of the last stand of the 300 Spartans during the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC. In 1939, Spiridon Marinatos, a Greek archaeologist, found a large number of Persian arrows around the hill, which changed the previously accepted identification of the place where the Greeks had fallen, killed by Persian arrows. A memorial stone was placed at the site during antiquity, but the original stone has not survived. In 1955 a new stone was erected, with Simonides' epigram engraved on it.
