On top of these battle plans that are laid out, they also lay out the plans for what they're going e steps after this first round of engagement in this theory of the conflict against xerxes. As part of their approach into greece, the persians would have to route their navy through the straits of artemesium, right? And they'd have to march their army through a narrow pass known as thermopylae, the hotgates. Thermopyle was, it's not any more, a very narrow coastal passage where rocky mountains came all most right down to the shore line of the sea.
