Finally a great question but difficult to answer the pass is now a different size and is a major tourist draw.  Here is one of the earliest descriptions of size:  "At the time, the mountain pass of Thermopylae consisted of a pass so narrow that two chariots could barely move abreast—on the western side of the pass stood the sheer side of the mountain, while the east side was the sea. Along the path was a series of three «gates», and at the center gate a short wall that had been erected by the Phocians in the previous century to aid in their defense against Thessalian invasions". \n\n\nGod Bless You and The Southern People

It is an arbitrary geopolitical map. It was drawn by government cartographers. There were no permanent settlements, so one could simply draw a line down a map based on lattitude and longitude. This was easy, try Yugoslavia.

Oh! It's very very ancient.\nScientists said that Ancient period of Greece stared before 20,000 B.C. They found many "clews" in Franchthi Cave. It is unique in Greece in having an essentially unbroken series of deposits spanning the period from ca. 20,000 B.C. (and probably even earlier) down to ca. 3000 B.C. The site  is located  in the southeastern Argolid, across a small bay from the modern Greek village of Koilada.

I think that was before Alexander.  So if it even existed, Greece was probably a Monarchy... I think...

Mandy and Benny both have valid points. It's because of plate tectonics, because of which continents moved. Pangea (single continent) that existed millions and millions of years ago...slowly started dispersing and if you see the movement of india subcontinent, it moved all the way from southern africa and joined asian continent. This must have created a pileup of land that benny is talking about.
