Trivia: According to earlier writings on Helen of Troy, we're talking about a statue of a moon goddess that was stolen. Of course, the current legend is, in many ways, more appealing.

I saw "300" and typed Thermopylae about five times trying various spellings before double-checking the question.

Since the first word in the L clue was King, I naturally thought of King Lear first---then resigned to read the rest of the clue.
