      @@protonneutron9046 The Movie is a cinematic adaption to the Comic 300 by frank miller. The Comic was made into a movie. The real battle and story of the 300 is not meant to be completely historically shown by this movie. A child would understand this movie is not an attempt of historical retelling at least when the persians use a monster with a troll head and axes as its hands, to chop off the heads of the losing generals, or the Monster man with the giant sword that gave leonidas his scar, or the persian soldier that gets his mask punched off and reveals a monster-face with portruding teeth and black juice flowing out his mouth. The movie is not a documentary. The real 300 fought against hundrerds of thousands of persians, yes, but these persians did not have monsters from lord of the rings with them.

    Spartans were famous not just for their few possessions, but also for their few words. There is a story about being threatened with a letter that said "If I invade Lakonia you will be destroyed, never to rise again". They responded in writing with a single word: "IF"
    Neither Phillip, nor Alexander, greatest conquerors of their time ventured to march over Sparta.
    The word Laconic, (the use of very few words) is called after their capital, Lakonia.

      It is not true. In 331 BC when Alexander was in Asia, King Agis of Sparta allied with the Persians against the Macedonians. Then Alexander sent Antipater, who had left Viceroy in Pella to attack Agis. The battle took place in Megalopolis, a city near Sparta. The Macedonians were victorious. The Spartans had 6,000 dead among them and King Agis. The Macedonians 2,500. The Spartan Hoplites could not face the Macedonian Phalanx. This was the end of Spartan rule forever. Alexander despised the Spartans so much that he called the battle of Megalopolis the "Battle of the Rats"

      Yeah no, the spartans were indeed conquered by the macedonians (under Alexander, though he himself was not present at the battle), like the other user said. It is important to note that a big part why Thermopylae went the way it did is because the spartans made good use of terrain as a force multiplier.

    There's a point that gets explained much more in the movie "300 Spartans" (which was what inspired Frank Miller to create his "300" graphic novel). At this time in history, Greece was just a group of independent city states that occasionally cooperated for a common goal but more often competed or outright fought against each other, and so arguably the most important result of the Battle of Thermopylae was that it helped to turn Greece into a unified nation.
    Speaking of "300 Spartans," I saw an interview with Frank Miller in which he said that when he was young and first saw that movie, he had previously thought of a hero as someone who is at the top and always wins, but the movie showed him that heroes are people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for something greater. I found that very interesting because it made me think of how often kids idolize someone for their success, wealth, fame and influence rather than the content of their character.

      For your education: The movie is based on a comic not real events. Literally every detail in this movie (including names) is fiction. In reality Sparta was the only greek city that was not participating in any war against persia for almost the entire conflict ( which lasted several years). In fact Sparta even sided with the persian empire for a while. Spartans used every excuse, including made up religious holidays, so they could excuse themselves from any participation in war. Other historical facts about sparta: they usually had multiple monarchs at the same time, abused their own children and life stock (their animals) regulary. Sparta was known for its chaotic state. The most reliable greek city at that time was Athens. The Athens had such an efficiant naval force that the persians were only a threat on land and not by sea. The spartans only started to send 300 soldiers (technically knights) way to late and each one of them had a few fighters and servants with them, so technically those 300 men were actually a few thousand in reality. Their contribution literally made no difference to the war, which was won by the greek and ionic tribes under Athens leadership. This is the currant state of science/accademia by the way.

    It is also generally believed that all Spartan women received an education in poetry, music, dancing, and art-and there is evidence that many Spartan women were literate.
    So, for the most part, Spartan women received an education comparable to that of the men, but unlike the men they weren’t forced to leave their families at the age of seven-in other words, women got a lot of the benefits of that education without the added stresses of communal living, harsh conditions, poor food quality, and the other general abuses that were supposed to make the men tougher.
    Spartan women were also encouraged to get married at a later age than most-usually around nineteen or twenty-making marriage and childbirth generally safer and healthier for both mother and child. And, because of their many physical activities, they were allowed to wear notoriously short dresses that exposed their thighs-a fashion trend that seemed beyond radical to the rest of Ancient Greece.
    Women in Charge
    Perhaps most surprisingly, Spartan women were given full citizenship rights. They were allowed to own and inherit their own property, and they were allowed to divorce their husbands without repercussions or societal vilification-and they were neither encouraged to nor prevented from re-marrying (they also kept full custody of their children).
    In general, because the men were so often away at war, the women were fully in charge of the household and general city business. Thanks to the large population of slaves (called Helots) that took care of domestic tasks and labor, the women were actually more likely to be involved in government, agriculture, city planning, and the like.
    When it comes to awesome facts about Spartan women, however, my personal favorite is a seemingly small detail-but one that, to me, speaks volumes.
    In Spartan culture, nearly all men and women were buried in unmarked graves-there were only two classes of people who were deemed worthy of graves that displayed their names, in glory: men who had died in battle, and women who had died in childbirth.
    This small detail shows that childbirth-that all important female task-was considered a trial akin to battle, and that to die in childbirth endowed a woman with as much glory and honor as a man who had given his all and sacrificed his own life for the sake of battle.
    It’s definitely too much of a stretch to claim that Sparta enjoyed any kind of “equality” between the sexes-but if that doesn’t prove the extreme respect that Sparta had for its ladies, then I don’t know what does.

    The problem with Ephialtes was that he wanted the glory of combat, not to actually serve. Had he served, had he shown Leonidas that even the misshapen can be of use to Sparta imagine what changes he could have been pioneering for the future. But no, he declined to serve because of pride.

    This kind of makes me want to recommend the Indian movie "Kesari" which is based on the true story of 24 Sikh soldiers who held back an invading army of 10,000 - 12,000 fighters for 6 hours at an outpost named Saragarhi to buy enough time for reinforcements to arrive and save the two forts for which Saragarhi had been set up to serve as a communications relay. My only reservations is that some of the special effects aren't up to Hollywood standards, and some of the battle choreography might look weird to western audiences. FYI "Kesari" means "saffron" which is a color that symbolizes courage in Indian culture.

    In the beginning you said you thought it was "mythical". This movie is actually based in historical facts. The Persian invasion. Leonidas took only the 300 to fight them and keep them from invading Sparta (part of Greece). They were actually some of the most disciplined, courageous, and brutal warriors in world history. Training since very young to raise warriors in a warrior society...

    The narrator is based on a Spartan who in reality was seen as a coward because he returned injured. He was an outcast and one of the front line soldiers who died during the main battle. Also, the narrator is making the enemies more vile and twisted to inspire the soldiers. It's what every culture/country does sadly.

      Well they didn't have cell phones then, so the only way to relay the news was to send a messenger, if he died as well we wouldn't have a first hand account from one of the Spartans themselves of this legendary moment in time. Demonising the enemy that's invading your country with the aim of taking it for themselves seems perfectly reasonable in the circumstances, it would be counter productive to tell your soldiers that the invaders are all nice people really and things just got out of hand

    It is important to note that the Persian empire of that time, the Achaemenid empire, were the only ones of their time that did NOT have slaves. The greeks on the other hand, absolutely DID have slaves.
    This film is based on a graphic novel. The battle did happen but the "bad guys" were nothing like they were portrayed. The Persians paid all their workers and treated women equally. The greeks on the other hand, did not.

    Gorgo was the actual wife of Leonidas, she was asked by an Athenian woman why Spartan women were the only liberated women in Greece .. Gorgo replied "We are the only Greek women who give birth to real Greek men!". At another time, a merchant was invited to go on maneuvers with the Spartans. When he tasted the Spartan field ration, he said "Now I know why Spartans would rather die!" it was a gruel made from water, barley and pig's blood.

    Before starting ... yes the general storyline actually is true, and the movie is based on what was handed down as history. Obviously, the details of what was said isn't going to be any kind of 'verbatim transcript', but even there, if a historian put down that "x" was said, that's what the movie presents. Certainly, 2500 years later, things will have been lost - or been warped, intentionally or not - but over-all the story is correct. The biggest liberties were taken with the physical setting(s). If you checkout the real battle-site, it's *not nearly* as dramatic-looking! And the surrounding terrain, while definitely very hilly, doesn't have the cragginess you see in the movie.
    So, if you allow for some artistic license regarding what was said and in the depiction of the area - it's otherwise pretty close.
    And the harshness of the Spartan's society is pretty much well-portrayed; they had no use for those who couldn't, in some way or other, 'pull their weight'!
    It'll be interesting to see your reaction to all the 'blood & guts'!

    Hannibal's elephants were defeated by pigs. Not saying that the Romans were pigs, actual swine. They learned elephants can be driven into terror by the sound of a squealing pig. So, in typical Roman fashion, they covered hundreds of pigs with pitch, sat them on fire and drove them into the elephant charge. Needless to say the elephants went monkeyshit and killed more of Hannibal's men than Romans. After the battle, they gathered any pigs they could find for the next charge, and ate any of the dead pigs that could be found and not too badly mutilated. Typical Roman efficiency.

    Greece is one of the first countries of the planet so yeah it was historical girls because it really happened. With the difference that the movies made it more intense and with more graphics and things to make the movies badass. But this really happened. The Persian empire and the Spartans did exist and they did fight. Persians are the people from Iran now and Sparta exists here in Greece it's a city just not in the form of the ancient Sparta. This is our history. Ancient Greece. Just like Thoukididis, Platon, Sokrates, Thalis, Themistoklis, Alexander the Great, Achilles, Odysseas all of them existed. The mythology is about the Gods who we are not sure about them. But the others existed they were real men. Let me mention here that Sparta was a city-state then in Greece like Olympia, Arcadia, Athens, Thebes and many more. So just one city fought an entire strong Persian empire maybe the strongest ever existed for many years in history. After that all the Greeks fought.
