Sölve Sölve was a sea - king who conquered Sweden by burning the Swedish king Östen to death inside his hall . The Heimskringla relates that he was the son Högne of Nærøy , and that he had his home in Jutland ( however , according to the older source Historia Norwegiae , he was Geatish ) . He pillaged in the Baltic Sea and at night they made shore in the hundred of Lofond / Lovund ( perhaps Lovön or the Lagunda Hundred ) where they surrounded a house and set it on fire killing everybody inside . In the house there was a feast where the Swedish king Östen was invited . Then Sölve and his men arrived in Sigtuna ( Old Sigtuna ) and declared that the Swedes had to accept him as king . The Swedes refused and fought Sölve for eleven days until they lost . Sölve then ruled Sweden until the Swedes rebelled and killed him . Historia Norwegiae only relates that the Geats burnt Östen and his people to death inside his house . Sölvi also appears in " Half ' s saga " , of which there is a version from the year 1300 . This saga relates that Sölvi was the son of Högne the rich of Nærøy " fyrir Naumundalsminni " in Norway and that he was the brother of Hild the Slender . Sölvi ' s brother - in - law , Hjorleiv , was the king of Hordaland and Rogaland and Hjorleiv killed Hreidar , the king of Zealand . Then Hjorleiv put Sölvi as the jarl of Zealand . Later in the saga , Sölvi is no longer the jarl of Zealand , but the king of Sweden . Hjorleiv had a son named Half ( after whom the saga is named ) , and after the Norwegian king Asmund had killed Half , a couple of his champions go to Sweden and king Sölvi ( " til svíþjóðar ; fóru þeir . . . á fund Sölva konungs " ) ( see also Gard Agdi ) .

Battle of Thermopylae in popular culture The Battle of Thermopylae of 480 BC has long been the topic of cultural inspiration , as it is perhaps the most famous military last stand of all time . This " against all odds " story is passed to us from the writings of the Greek Herodotus , who was not present at the battle himself . He relates the story of 300 Spartans and 700 Thespians defending the Pass of Thermopylae against almost " 2 million " Persians on the third day of the battle . ( For the first two days , the Greek force had numbered somewhere between 5 , 000 and 7 , 000 . ) Although modern historians have questioned the numbers presented by Herodotus , with most at around 100 , 000 to 250 , 000 invaders , the story has resonated with authors and poets for centuries over the inspiring bravery and resolution of the Spartans . The performance of the defenders at the battle of Thermopylae is often used as an example of the advantages of training , equipment , and good use of terrain to maximize an army ' s potential , and has become a symbol of courage against overwhelming odds . Even more , both ancient and modern writers used the Battle of Thermopylae as an example of the superior power of a volunteer army of freemen defending native soil . The sacrifice of the Spartans and the Thespians has captured the minds of many throughout the ages and has given birth to many cultural references as a result .
