I am Greek and we learn about this battle in school in a very young age. All the great lines are true. And the main story line as well. It inspired the Greeks in their wars for independence for 2500 years now. The statue of Leonidas stands still in Thermopylae.
😂😂 are you not ashamed of when Persians enslaved whole greece???😂😂 Persians were much more powerful than your so called greek civilization 😂😂 Even ottomans enslaved your ancestors 😂😂😂😂
Hey, Lithuanian here, i am curious about your politics with neighbors, especially Turkey, since we are all in NATO, still, how are your relationships there ?
@@GregoryArgiriou I see... Good to know, yeah, from our little days, we tend to be friendly to each other, but then as we get older, stupid beliefs sets in and we change.
The film is based on a comic book adaption of a real battle, the battle of Thermopylae in 380 bc. It's very highly stylised, but the main points are correct, except the path to get behind the Spartans was shown to the Persians by a local shepherd, not a wannabe Spartan warrior. Leonidas did send Dilios back to Sparta with a message, and as he was the only survivor he was shunned by the people as a coward, until the battle they showed at the end, where the Persians were defeated and he died a heroes death.
Facts: 1. King Leonidas was around 60 years old when he fought this battle..!! Also today's military schools, teach his war tactics.. 🔥⚔ 2. Efialtis (Εφιάλτης) (The traitor who told Persians the secret passage), actually means "Nightmare" in Greek 3. The phrases below, were actually told by Spartans in that battle a) Get back with your shield, or on it. (᾿Ή τὰν ἢ ἐπὶ τᾶς) b) Then we will fight in the shade. (Εἰ ἀποκρυπτόντων τῶν Μήδων τὸν ἥλιον ὑπὸ σκιῇ ἔσοιτο πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἡ μάχη καὶ οὐκ ἐν ἡλίῳ)** c) Come and get them. (Μολὼν λαβέ) (Actual translation/meaning: "If you find the mental reserves, come and get them") P.S.: Spartans didn't wore full armor because it was heavy and would make them move slow in the battle.. Also their swords, spears and shields where made from various alloys that made them very superior against other armies.. **Dienekes, disciplined, modest, and laconic, at the age of forty, had declined every proposal for promotion and advancement. He remained at the rank of Enomotarch, commanding 32 or 36 men, because, as he said, "…I only know how to count up to thirty-six!" According to the laws of Lycurgus, he could have avoided participating in the campaign since he had no male children. However, he arranged for one of his slaves to claim she had given birth to his son, allowing him to take part. Besides, he was a dear friend of Leonidas, and they often dined together. Dienekes had studied fear and asserted, “If we drive it out of the flesh, where it is born, the mind will simply follow.” His fearlessness led him, along with the Olympic champion brothers Alpheus and Maron, the sons of Orsiphantus, on a daring nighttime raid to Xerxes' tent. They nearly assassinated him, but his generals Mardonius and Orontes moved him elsewhere in time. Dienekes ultimately fulfilled the meaning of his name: "the eternal," "the one who lasts forever," "the unstoppable," through his "excellence" on the third day of the battle. Herodotus describes the furious battle of the Lacedaemonians around the dead body of Leonidas until, after killing Xerxes’ two brothers, Abrocomes and Hyperanthes, they dragged the body towards their side, routing the enemy four times. When they were encircled by the traitor Ephialtes, they retreated to the hill at the entrance of the pass. “...At that very place, they made their final stand, using knives if they still had them, or their hands and teeth, while the barbarians covered them with arrows, not daring to approach them…” Thus, the tragic truth of the unstoppable warrior Dienekes’ statement was confirmed: “...If the Medes darken the sun, we will fight them in the shade and not in the sunlight...” The brave Greeks fought to the bitter end, “In the Shade.”
Western civilization owes its existence to the military prowess and determination of ancient Greece, and the time that was bought with the blood of Leonidas and his 300 warriors was enough for Greek armies and naval forces to rally their forces, to position themselves strategically and secure much needed victories that would ultimately shut down and repel the Persian invaders. Very nice reaction!
My favorite line from Leo when Xeres says he would sacrifice any one of his men and Leo retorts "and I would die for anyone of mine." < sign of a true leader. Also, US took note of Spartan on that being a solider is basically full time job. AKA Active Duty military. Btw Leo was in his 60s fighting this war.
Dilios ( The Spartan with the injured eye that was sent back to tell the story) is the main narrator throughout the film, recounting the events of the battle from his perspective. His narrative emphasizes the bravery and sacrifice of the Spartan warriors, and the embellishments and details of beasts and immortals were part of the dramatic story telling to make it feel as though youre trying to imagine this great battle. It didnt really occur to me until Id watched the movie a few times and caught all the little details. After realizing that- I loved the movie even more, it seemed to really bring me into the story as a "listener", not a viewer. In Spartan Society, the 'Ephor's were a part of the Ancient Spartan constitution. The Ephor's were an order of five high magistrates elected by the people to represent the will of the people, they were replaced on an annual basis by vote to prevent one person becoming to power hungry or powerful. The Ephors were also keepers of the old ways...to the old gods The Carneia, was a festival in honor of Apollo, it was held annually in Sparta, It was a nine-day festival that celebrated Sparta's warrior culture and was a significant religious festival for the ancients. The Ephores were supposed to keep corruption out of politics, and in the movie were shown as creepy gross and corrupt.
This is based on a historical battle, but what you noticed about the art style was true. Both this movie and the graphic novel it was based on were very heavily inspired by colors of Greek art and the storytelling of Greek plays. It was, in a way, meant to be the story of the battle, as the Greeks would have told it. Also, you were right about the women. Often, even other Greeks were surprised at how well Spartan women were treated.
*300* This movie is (very loosely) based on the historic Battle of Thermoplyae in 480 BC. As you can imagine, the added a huge amount of fantastical elements to the historical narrative. While the Spartan training portrayed in the movie is broadly accurate in its brutality, they left some things out. The boys in training were deliberately underfed, so that they'd learn how to survive on their own. While stealing was not forbidden, getting caught while stealing was punished viciously. Also, one of the last things a Spartan had to do before they completed their training in "the Agoge" was to murder a Helot, which was one of the slaves the Spartan's kept. In fact, the Helots were one of the main reasons the Spartans were so militaristic, the Helots actually outnumbered the Spartans, and they were worried about a slave uprising. As for the Spartans, a major inaccuracy was what the Spartans are wearing. In real life they did not run around bear chested wearing nothing but leather speedos, though the red cloaks are accurate. They would have worn Bronze body armor known as a cuirass, bronze armor on their legs called greaves, a bronze helmet, and a large wood and bronze shield. Their primary weapon was an 8 foot spear and they carried a short sword as a secondary weapon. In fact most of the Greeks were to a certain extent, equipped in this manner, and it was one of the reasons the small force of Greeks did so well against the massive Persian army. The Persians were generally equipped with much lighter armor and generally fought in a much more skirmishing style. They were very unprepared for the much more face to face up close and personal combat the Greeks favored. The movie is right that there were only 300 Spartans present, but there were also 4000-7000 other Greeks from various City States also defending the pass with them, but acting under Spartan command. As far as the Persians go, their were no monsters in their army, just men. Even the Immortals, who did actually exist were ordinary men, The name Immortals came from the fact that there were always 10,000 of them. If they lost men in combat, their numbers were always restored to 10,000. As far as the numbers go, the Greek Historian Herodotus, who was the first to write about the battle, puts their numbers as over a million. Historians to this day debate this claim, that perhaps it was exaggeration. Some Historians place the Persian numbers as low as 100,000-200,000 men, which, to be fair would still massively outnumber the Greeks. The fact that the Spartan army was barred from marching at the beginning due to a religious festival did happen, but what went down with the Oracle went a little differently, according to Herodotus. He states that the Oracle predicted that either Sparta would fall, or Sparta would lose one of its Kings. Leonidas thought the king the Oracle refereed to was him, (Sparta was ruled by two kings,) and so led 300 Spartans to Thermoplyae. Initially, the battle went very well for the Greeks, with the Greek infantry holding the narrow mountain pass against the Persian army. They were aided in this endeavor by an Allied Greek Navy led by the Athenian fleet who, despite being outnumbered, held the Artemesium straight against the Persian Navy. This prevented Xerxes from landing Persian forces behind the Greeks by sea. Ultimately though, the Greek position was betrayed by a man named Ephialtes, however he was not a Spartan. Herodotus describes him as a local goat herder who showed the Persians the goat path that led behind the Greek position. The name Ephialtes later came to mean nightmare in Greek. The Greeks did get wind of it before it was too late though, so Leonidas ordered the bulk of the Greek army to retreat, while he would stay behind wit the 300 Spartans to act as a rear guard, buying time for the rest of the Army to retreat. 700 Greeks from the City State of Thespia, and 400 Thebans also chose to remain behind for the rear guard. They were all killed to the last man. After the battle, the Persian Navy would be decisively defeated by the Athenian/ Greek navy at Salamis, and later the Persian army would be decisively defeated at Platea by a Spartan/ Greek army as the movie portrayed. This ended Xerxes attempt to conquer Greece. A well known epitaph, atributed to the Poet Simonides was placed on a stone at the site of the battle. Roughly translated it states "Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, that here, obedient to their laws, we lie." Unfortunately, the original stone does not survive, but a new one was placed there in 1955.
It's a lie that mothers resisted to deliver their kids. Spartan mothers were also soldiers and they felt proud of their 7 year old kids went to the Agoge (military service). Some things in this movie are exaggerated but some unsettling things are true.
Should look up actual historic quotes from Spartans. Many from the film happened, just under different contexts. One opposing king wanted to conquer Sparta and sent the king a message asking “If I were to come to Sparta, would you want me there as a friend or foe?” The king replied one word: “Neither”. The opposing king then sent a message “If I come as a foe, my army will surly destroy Sparta..” The Spartan King a gain sent one word : “IF”. The opposing king did not attack Sparta.
To learn more of the story line about what was going on in Greece in that time, the movie, 300- Rise of an Empire is a continuum of the story. It came out after 300, but its not a part 2. The stories have quite a bit of overlap that really add to the story. It has its own beautiful look...different than 300 but good!
You probably missed the line where the 300 appear for the first time, where his captain tells to Leonidas that all the 300 have a son to carry on their name. They all knew they were marching to their deaths. And now that I think about it, at some point the narrator commends that even Leonidas had a brief thought that they could win this (as opposed to what they all thought was certain doom). In fact, Leonidas goal was to simply pin the Persian army as long as they could, so that the Spartans would march to war after his death and also that the rest of the Greek cities had time to gather their troops and organise a large enough army to even stand a chance against the massive Persian army that had already walked through half of Greece, at that point.
ἢ τὰν ἢ ἐπὶ τᾶς , (Ḕ tā̀n ḕ epì tâs): “Come with (your shield), or on (it). ” This ancient Greek phrase was said by their mothers or wives giving them the shield. It was a wish of victory, because either he would return victorious holding his shield, or his victorious companions would bring him dead on his shield.If they lost the battle no one was to return alive. The Spartans were famous for the condensed meanings (Laconize ) expressed with few words. There is the ancient saying: "Laconize is philosophy". The Lacedaemonians (Spartans) and the rest of the ancient Greeks, considered death as the door to the underworld (ADES) and had unwavering faith in its existence The Spartan phalanx was invincible for about 5 centuries.The Spartans had two kings from different Doric dynasties, and they were controlled by the 5 Ephorus democratically elected.
Leonidas because older brothers was never expected to be King, Those expected to become a King are excluded from military training from age 7 . The last words the King said to his Queen Was... "Marry a good man, bare good children."
as for spartans women. They were very independent, even if you look at it through the prism of modern times. and sparta was never considered to be democratic unlike other greek states. The words of Leonidas that he could march against persians with just spartan women were not too much exaggerated. women in sparta they went undergoing combat training as well just not that rygoristic like men. So they were capable of defending themselves when spartan armies were away from home.
