en-wikipedia-org-9653		Leonidas I - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	3754	694	71	Leonidas I (/liˈɒnɪdəs, -dæs/; Doric Λεωνίδας Α', Leōnídas A'; Ionic and Attic Greek: Λεωνίδης Α', Leōnídēs A' [leɔːnídɛːs]; "son of the lion";[1] died 19 September 480 BC) was a king of the Greek city-state of Sparta, and the 17th of the Agiad line, a dynasty which claimed descent from the mythological demigod Heracles and Cadmus. Leonidas was chosen to lead the combined Greek forces determined to resist the Second Persian invasion of Greece in 481 BC.[9] This was not simply a tribute to Sparta's military prowess: The probability that the coalition wanted Leonidas personally for his capability as a military leader is underlined by the fact that just two years after his death, the coalition preferred Athenian leadership to the leadership of either Leotychidas or Leonidas' successor (as regent for his still under-aged son) Pausanias.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-9653.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-9653.txt
