	Parallels have been drawn between the [[Battle of Reach]] and the Battle of ~~Thermopylai~~. Both feature 300 Spartans fighting against overwhelming numbers of enemy troops, and both battles buy time for the rest of their forces - for ~~Thermopylai~~, it buys Athens the time it needs, with Reach buying Earth time. The outcomes are also similar - the Greeks eventually beat what seemed an invincible empire, with humanity and the Elites surmounting seemingly insurmountable odds to beat the Covenant and the Flood.
