Yes it is interesting, surrendering at a impossible situation was not dishonourable. But was it that weird? Fighting to the death would only cause the number of Spartan Hoplites to drop, victory wasn't possible so preserving Spartan numbers, maybe not for their own sake but for that of Sparta as a whole might be the reason.

And dying by missle attacks in a last stand might have taken away the honour they would otherwise feel when the enemies were Hoplites?
