Fun fact: ancient persia (depicted here as sauron) actually had slavery outlawed for most of its existence meanwhile sparta had captured a whole second city state and enslaved their inhabitants so they could spend their days on military training. Young spartans also had a coming of age ritual where they would go out to where the helots lived, whereupon the spartans would wrap their feet in cloth to mute their footsteps and spend the night murdering anyone the ruling government in sparta thought might be a trouble maker botb stamping out descent among their slaves and getting their soldiers an easy first kill to get used to it. Sparta rarely sent its armies out of the city for fear of a helot uprising. But yeah, these spartans are free men, with dozens of slaves behind them tending to the fields. I'm fine with doing fantasy nonesense to the past, but not when it becomes most people's understanding of a period of time Edit: As others have pointed out slavery was not illegal.

@@cherrabenoussama3509 Right of course. It's the persian *empire* but they were one of the better empires to live in historically speaking. As long as you paid your taxes and pay lip service to the shah, they'd generally let their provinces carry on.
Remember the 300 only fought for about 72 hours and I believe they killed like 10,000 or more enemies in that amount of time. A lot of people don't understand that only 300 Spartans were there but there was also 700 normal Greeks that aren't trained like the Spartans also there so it was a thousand men for 72 hours versus like 50,000 Persians. In Persia was the most populated country in 480 BC was I believe 60% of the human population living there. If I remember right for my world history classified 10 million people. There wasn't like a hundred million people in 480 BC all around the world.
They did not kill 10,000. Herodotus reported 1000 dead and added 19000 more because he didn't believe what he was told. You should read verified historical work, not propaganda.
The whole thing is kinda funny. Cuz in real life the Spartans killed the Persian emissary which is actual a big no no at the time and was considered frowned upon by the gods. So they sent 2 of their own to try rectify it but the Persian king refused to kill them. There were also more than 300. Some of the Athenians and thebians stayed with the Spartans and refused to leave when advised to by the Spartans
@@spirosmeligonis5751 Tbh some comments are saying that the Spartans arent greek and all Thracians, some saying they had no slaves at all, some saying that at this time they're Roman subjects.
Only thing I would add the above paragraph is that they're was also a noticeable amount of Helots at the battle and I think thespians as well as Phoceans (though the Phoceans decided to retreat to have there last stand on a nearby hill which let the Persians get through the pass unaccosted and encircle the Spartans)
Persians were one of the most civilized societies during their reign, slavery was outlawed, petty crimes were dealt with harshly to curb serious crimes, taxes were negligible, Persia became a hub of trade from around the world, you can call it the Dubai of that time, many smaller kingdoms voluntarily joined, Spartans on the other hand were really into slavery especially sexual slavery, they made a fortune trading slaves and bullying smaller towns for tax and invading them for loot then enslaving their entire population. This movie always makes me laugh so hard for being historically inaccurate😂
In several parts of the Persian Empire, at the very least, slave labour played a prominent role in production; this not only involved (at least in Fars) Greek slaves, but was witnessed by no less than Alexander the Great.
Fun fact, slavery was forbidden in ancient persian 🥰congregations to west media , greeks burnd western satraps of persian empire and king decided to punish him and he did by durning athenia , it wasn't slavery at all only thing it was revenge
In truth, the Persian emperors, starting with Cyrus, were known for theit tolerance, enlightenment, moderation and promotion of human rights. They issued yhe firdt "bill of rights" the world has known. The Persians allowed the Israelites to worship their own god; the Greeks, by contrast, persecuted the Jews for refusing to honor the Greek dieties!
For your information persia was the inventor of slavery, it was world wide & they were invading to ENSLAVE the population, your blatant attempt of misleading the historically naïve is laughable & you are dismissed
Yes the Spartans believed themselves superior to Athens in that they allowed their slaves to retain one half of their production. . . Then I realise I live in California and would be better off in Sparta.
@@Le10White for your information Spartan slaves known As hellots were treated poorly, often being beaten and subject to being killed by the Spartans.

The Arab slave trade dwarfs all other tales of brutality. Persia was once great, bit look at it now. Backwards and arrogant. You butcher each other in the name of the same god. Ridiculous.
They didn't reverse it, they erased half. They all owned slaves. The Spartans were such a good fighting force because they had slaves handle everything so they could train for battle
It's kinda cool how the Persians are depicted as cruel, evil and kinda pathetic because this is supposed to be the one eyed spartan soldier's propaganda story
Right, very American. Spartans had more slaves than free men, they often treated them in the most inhuman way possible. Persians banned slavery in their empire and generally treated prisoners with more care than the average ancient civilisation. But Greek is considered "west" and Persia is considered "east" therefore the greeks are the good looking white people, the persians are depicted as black/brown tyrants. Little does average American know that the Persians were and still are mostly white, just like arabs, if not more than them. Also Persian is indoeuropean just like greek latin baltic slavic gaelic balkanic north-indian and germanic languages, so it's closer to english than arabic.

@@Eagler-yc7yx There was a lot of respectable things about Persia. They codified the first document on human rights, they were the largest empire in the time period and most of the people they conquered ended up enjoying an improved quality of life under their rule.

I believe this film is called “300” its about spartans Yk the meme “THIS IS SPARTA” it comes from this movie Or its the second one, idk the name but its either 300 or the second one
@@Thatsciencedude324 Spartans made up the top of the pyramid, Perioikoi were the mainstay of their armies. They were above Helots (who also performed certain battlefield roles) and were usually artisans and merchants. So they weren’t slaves but they also weren’t citizens. The Spartans were usually only committed to the battle at the decisive moment (similar to how the Romans used the Triarii) and were absolute monsters to fight against. Unfortunately for them they were also inflexible traditionalists who failed to adapt to the massive vulnerabilities of the phalanx formation and lost to the Romans. At Thermopylae there were 300 Spartans and 900 Perioikoi who accompanied them assisted by roughly 6000 assorted Greeks.
The Westerners have made the Spartans look like they were stronger than the Persians. The Persians once ruled this world. And even though the Spartans were fearless, they lost many battles and were seen as barbaeric by other nations since they weren't educated plus they didn't hsve the numbers.
@@factswithrankings No the Persians did not rule the world, they had a large empire, the Greeks chased them out of the Mediterranean and then the Alexander kicked seven bells out if them and took control of their empire, spreading Hellenism across what was then the whole known world.
@@PA1606X during the reign of King Darius the First, Persian had the biggest army in history and had conquered Europe, Asia and also Africa. So basically it ruled almost the whole World.
@factswithrankings Sorry, tne Persians did not conquer Europe. They got as far as Athens and then were chased out. They did not conquer India they got as far as the Indus. They did not conquer Africa they got as far Egypt, which is not really africa. Then Alexander and his Macedonian and Greek army kicked their ass and spread Greek culture all over the Eastern world. .
Being a history enthusiast, I was completely aghast at the level of racism this movie could provide with its ridiculous portrayal of the Persians and Xerxes. This whole “chiseled muscled” Spartans like pure Aryans fighting half human brown and black monsters is disgusting. The Spartans weren’t Anglo Saxons - they were pure bred Mediterranean folk who probably looked very dark skinned (think of dark skinned Italians or Mediterranean Arabs). The Persians were probably more white than the Spartans but yes the Persian empire encompassed many many countries and tribes and peoples of various backgrounds.

The movie shows a small Greek detachment of brave souls fighting to the last man against a foe that outnumbered them The numbers were wrong, but the entire concept is entirely correct...
@@Eagler-yc7yx The premise of the story is that Spartans were this society that saw justice and reverberated the ideals of the modern world a place that was the perfect good the Persians the only bad thing in this universe. In reality Sparta was built off the back of slaves. The Greeks were the ones who enticed the wars by funding the rebels of ionium with highly exaggerated numbers and a fake narrative of the end of war at Thermopylae and the preservation of the righteous and best society that was the western societies base of thought. This is a reflection of how western chauvinism exists and what the makers of this film meant to portray as the natural order of things.
@@muhammedaqueeb2839 In the story of the 300, they literally showed the Spartans building a wall out of dead bodies... The movie in no way shape or form was trying to call the Spartans "modern." The entire premise of the story was a small detachment of Greek soldiers fighting to the death against a foe that outnumbered them... The movie not once tried to make the Spartans look good...it was simply restating the story from the Greek perspective... The same director of the 300 also did Justice League and Wonder Woman....do you really think Zack Snyder, who is a liberal by the way, had a motive in the movie the 300 😂 BTW, Greece has often been viewed as a eastern society...our math and science come from them, but not our culutre... Why are you so pissed off that a white society beat a non-white society...why does it matter what color they are...it was a freaking good movie and story, similar to how the story of Khalid (the Muslim general) fighting the Roman's was a great story... I swear, where do you make up these things...you libs get so hormonal bout' the dumbest things...
Fun fact even tho the battle of Thermopylae did happen between the greeks and a persians king leonidas actually had an army of 7000 greeks of locrians spartans thebans thespians and slaves They only became the 300 When the persians found the path to flank king leonidas and sent a but load of persian immortals Before the immortals could get to the rear guard of greeks army king leonidas had a retreat of his main army only leaving then with the 300 spartans Bonus fact even tho they said the movie is called 300 in the actual historical battle the thespians which have ancient black air force activity stayed with the 300 spartans and leonidas and fought to therye last beside them :)
This movie is a direct insult to the Persians... All history books and historians violate this movie. When the Persians were spreading the law of protection of women and equality, the Romans did not even have mercy on their own blood.😡
This isn't concerning the Romans but the Spartans- whom at this time we're a independent state heading the penopolesian league. Which it doesn't actually change the fact that Persia was so grossly represented. I don't know if it makes it better- or worse but the actual portrayal of aspects Spartan society has somehow in the movie been butchered to look perverse and degraded while at the same time you can clearly see they aimed to make Sparta look heroic.
@familyfriendlyptarmigan8330 I couldn't agree more, this movie is an insult to any history buff. And I seldom say the word racism, but this movie is racist. The gross representation of Sparta as the "free secular bastion of Europe", staving off the brown slavers from the east that want to take european women and plunder European land. What kills me is reading the comments on videos like this, people actually believe this to be an accurate historical representation of the war between the Persians and the Greek city states. Another movie that people take as historical fact is "kingdom of heaven", don't get me started on that piece of work.
@@BoiSoi313 Imma be honest the first major wtf moment and seeing that it was messed up was in this movie, when the Ephors were just randomly in Delphi molesting the Pythia, when spartiates couldnt legally leave the actual country. Also i feel like it weirdly justifies the spartans killing of children. It literally inaccurately depicts a disabled spartan betraying them all to the persians, in my mind they are trying to justify that if they had just killed him as well then it would all be alright. In reality the actual betrayer was a random herder from the city of Trachis. Idk that might be me taking a leap there.
@@retsaMinnavoiGyes it wasn't a slave free until Rashidun Caliphate Empire conquered the Persian empire, then the slavery there was abolished because it's forbidden/haram. While the west empire keep using the slavery system
For those who really didn't know the Spartan the reason they fought so fiercely as because their lover fought right next to them and yes their lovers were a man that's why you didn't see females with the Spartan Army only the king
It's a very true historic fact that one of the Persian commanders told the Spartans there arrows with blot out the Sun and one of the Spartans of the 300 actually told the enemy then we will fight in the shade..💪
@@mmadmk1432 yes , i mean this was the most inaccurate as well as inappropriate portrayal of Persian Empire...the original 300 that was released in 1962 had some good work in portrayal of Persian culture as well as the 'immortals' described were accurate in terms of weaponry and armour as well as King Xerexes. 2008 one was like crap if we go to historical accuracy like what Africans were doing in Persia idk
The spartans were Dorians- who were considered greek. Sparta did win against athens in the penopolesian war, and instituted a sparta friendly ogliarchy- but merely to skip to the romans, neglects their period of intensive decline and their defeats by Thebes, Macedon, and the Achean league.
No, fellow roman descendant, the Spartans were greek. The worst kind, the best soldiers but the worst people. Slavery, inhuman tortures, k*d raping, all of that this movie accuses the persians of doing. While it was the opposite. Also persians are closer to the thracians than to the greeks but all were indoeuropean.

In Persia was the most populated country in 480 BC was I believe 60% of the human population living there. If I remember right for my world history classified 10 million people. There wasn't like a hundred million people in 480 BC all around the world.
Just became smarter in our history thank you for this
60% dude welcome to india and.china
They did not kill 10,000. Herodotus reported 1000 dead and added 19000 more because he didn't believe what he was told. You should read verified historical work, not propaganda.

The whole thing is kinda funny. Cuz in real life the Spartans killed the Persian emissary which is actual a big no no at the time and was considered frowned upon by the gods. So they sent 2 of their own to try rectify it but the Persian king refused to kill them. There were also more than 300. Some of the Athenians and thebians stayed with the Spartans and refused to leave when advised to by the Spartans
We know that
@@spirosmeligonis5751
Tbh some comments are saying that the Spartans arent greek and all Thracians, some saying they had no slaves at all, some saying that at this time they're Roman subjects.
Only thing I would add the above paragraph is that they're was also a noticeable amount of Helots at the battle and I think thespians as well as Phoceans (though the Phoceans decided to retreat to have there last stand on a nearby hill which let the Persians get through the pass unaccosted and encircle the Spartans)
Love this movie. ❤
You forgot about the lesbians
Persians were one of the most civilized societies during their reign, slavery was outlawed, petty crimes were dealt with harshly to curb serious crimes, taxes were negligible, Persia became a hub of trade from around the world, you can call it the Dubai of that time, many smaller kingdoms voluntarily joined, Spartans on the other hand were really into slavery especially sexual slavery, they made a fortune trading slaves and bullying smaller towns for tax and invading them for loot then enslaving their entire population. This movie always makes me laugh so hard for being historically inaccurate😂

In several parts of the Persian Empire, at the very least, slave labour played a prominent role in production; this not only involved (at least in Fars) Greek slaves, but was witnessed by no less than Alexander the Great.
It's Hollywood even the spartan leader here was a bad one in reality
Fun fact, slavery was forbidden in ancient persian 🥰congregations to west media , greeks burnd western satraps of persian empire and king decided to punish him and he did by durning athenia , it wasn't slavery at all only thing it was revenge

In truth, the Persian emperors, starting with Cyrus, were known for theit tolerance, enlightenment, moderation and promotion of human rights. They issued yhe firdt "bill of rights" the world has known.
The Persians allowed the Israelites to worship their own god; the Greeks, by contrast, persecuted the Jews for refusing to honor the Greek dieties!
The west always acts as if their enemies are the worst by putting the dust under the rug. Israel is just like this.

For your information slavery didn't existed in Persia, but it did in Sparta.
For your information persia was the inventor of slavery, it was world wide & they were invading to ENSLAVE the population, your blatant attempt of misleading the historically naïve is laughable & you are dismissed
Yes the Spartans believed themselves superior to Athens in that they allowed their slaves to retain one half of their production. . . Then I realise I live in California and would be better off in Sparta.
@@Le10White for your information
Spartan slaves known As hellots were treated poorly, often being beaten and subject to being killed by the Spartans. In one incident, they may have even been ritualistically slaughtered by the Krypteia, or Spartan secret police. The helots were a much larger population than the Spartans and were often seen as a threat.
Hope that helps

All the greek states had slavery in some form
How Hollywood depicts history by reversing the slave owners to Persians instead of spartans is amazes me
The Arab slave trade dwarfs all other tales of brutality. Persia was once great, bit look at it now. Backwards and arrogant. You butcher each other in the name of the same god. Ridiculous.
They didn't reverse it, they erased half. They all owned slaves. The Spartans were such a good fighting force because they had slaves handle everything so they could train for battle

Right, very American.
Spartans had more slaves than free men, they often treated them in the most inhuman way possible.
Persians banned slavery in their empire and generally treated prisoners with more care than the average ancient civilisation.
But Greek is considered "west" and Persia is considered "east" therefore the greeks are the good looking white people, the persians are depicted as black/brown tyrants. Little does average American know that the Persians were and still are mostly white, just like arabs, if not more than them. Also Persian is indoeuropean just like greek latin baltic slavic gaelic balkanic north-indian and germanic languages, so it's closer to english than arabic.

Historically Spartans weren't really known for their warriors, it was I think the Thebians or something -source: a book I read 7 years ago lol
@@Thatsciencedude324 Spartans made up the top of the pyramid, Perioikoi were the mainstay of their armies. They were above Helots (who also performed certain battlefield roles) and were usually artisans and merchants. So they weren’t slaves but they also weren’t citizens. The Spartans were usually only committed to the battle at the decisive moment (similar to how the Romans used the Triarii) and were absolute monsters to fight against. Unfortunately for them they were also inflexible traditionalists who failed to adapt to the massive vulnerabilities of the phalanx formation and lost to the Romans. At Thermopylae there were 300 Spartans and 900 Perioikoi who accompanied them assisted by roughly 6000 assorted Greeks.

@@Eagler-yc7yx The premise of the story is that Spartans were this society that saw justice and reverberated the ideals of the modern world a place that was the perfect good the Persians the only bad thing in this universe. In reality Sparta was built off the back of slaves. The Greeks were the ones who enticed the wars by funding the rebels of ionium with highly exaggerated numbers and a fake narrative of the end of war at Thermopylae and the preservation of the righteous and best society that was the western societies base of thought. This is a reflection of how western chauvinism exists and what the makers of this film meant to portray as the natural order of things.
Not all history is true
@@muhammedaqueeb2839 In the story of the 300, they literally showed the Spartans building a wall out of dead bodies...

When the persians found the path to flank king leonidas and sent a but load of persian immortals
Before the immortals could get to the rear guard of greeks army king leonidas had a retreat of his main army only leaving then with the 300 spartans

even tho they said the movie is called 300 in the actual historical battle the thespians which have ancient black air force activity stayed with the 300 spartans and leonidas and fought to therye last beside them :)
ancient black force activity is wild😂
This movie is a direct insult to the Persians... All history books and historians violate this movie. When the Persians were spreading the law of protection of women and equality, the Romans did not even have mercy on their own blood.😡
This isn't concerning the Romans but the Spartans- whom at this time we're a independent state heading the penopolesian league.
Which it doesn't actually change the fact that Persia was so grossly represented.
I don't know if it makes it better- or worse but the actual portrayal of aspects Spartan society has somehow in the movie been butchered to look perverse and degraded while at the same time you can clearly see they aimed to make Sparta look heroic.
@familyfriendlyptarmigan8330 I couldn't agree more, this movie is an insult to any history buff. And I seldom say the word racism, but this movie is racist. The gross representation of Sparta as the "free secular bastion of Europe", staving off the brown slavers from the east that want to take european women and plunder European land. What kills me is reading the comments on videos like this, people actually believe this to be an accurate historical representation of the war between the Persians and the Greek city states. Another movie that people take as historical fact is "kingdom of heaven", don't get me started on that piece of work.
@@BoiSoi313 Imma be honest the first major wtf moment and seeing that it was messed up was in this movie, when the Ephors were just randomly in Delphi molesting the Pythia, when spartiates couldnt legally leave the actual country.
Also i feel like it weirdly justifies the spartans killing of children.
It literally inaccurately depicts a disabled spartan betraying them all to the persians, in my mind they are trying to justify that if they had just killed him as well then it would all be alright. In reality the actual betrayer was a random herder from the city of Trachis.
Idk that might be me taking a leap there.

No, fellow roman descendant, the Spartans were greek. The worst kind, the best soldiers but the worst people.
