Is it true that Sparta fought Persia in the Greco-Persian Wars, including at Thermopylae in 480 BC?

Yes. One reference source states the Battle of Thermopylae was fought in 480 BC between Persia under Xerxes and a Greek alliance led by Sparta, and identifies it as part of the wider Greco-Persian Wars. Other items confirm Sparta's leadership against Persia at Thermopylae and the existence of the Greco-Persian Wars, but only in part.
