Facts bro! Shit give me chills every time hearing it

[@armaduck2000]

in reality 7-8000 greeks fought against about 300.000 persians. After several days of battle a traitor showed a detour to persians. In order to avoid to be sorrounded, greek generals decided to withdraw all the troups; only Leonida his 300 spartans and 700 other greeks remained holding the front. So they permitted to others to escape and they saved the greek army. They were more heroic than in the movie

There weren't many dead Greeks and the Spartans have the memorial, because they became something like a legend.

[@TheWildManEnkidu]

yes they did, this is a comic books adaptation of spartans to make them look more badass dont beleive everything you see on the big screen. spartans had just as much armour as everyone else, if not better armour.

[@SuCKeRPunCH187]

fighting in the shade, is something stelios said earlier if the persians arrows were to block out the sun

[@300rules4ever]

this actually happend & it was based on the comic book which is bloody awesome!

[@StarWarsFanSWF]

Probably had another...I sure wouldn't give up my weapon like that :-P And since the Spartans were so well organized, it makes sense that they would prepare for this. I read somewhere that certain armies always brought two spears to battle...when the enemy charged, they'd throw their first spears, and then use their other for hand-to-hand combat.

[@DdosedRS]

where did he get the spear at the end when he breaks the arrows from his shield? he threw it, when the pushed them to the cliff he was holding his sword not a spear, movie flaw

[@TheGeckoNinja]

even with armor you can still die you do remember that they were outnumbered? armor doesn't make you invincible even against a whole army on you. yes they had armor but this was a suicide mission against a HUGE empire

if they broke formation then the spartans would open a can of whoop-ass on them. thats because most persian infantry wore no armor and even trying to get pass the spartan shield...it's just so big! it's like fighting a tank with a rifle....it just cant be done! tank > rifle

[@AvengeWithDarkness]

Shields were considered an honour by Spartans. In fact if a Spartan dropped his shield he was dishonoured. He could drop his sword or spear but not his shield cuz it was sacred. That's because Spartans used shields not only to protect theirselves but also the man to the left of them. You can see that in the scenes with the phalanx formation.

[@jenningsrozzell7557]

Spartan mothers would tell their sons: "Come home carrying your shield or on it."

In the last day of battle most of the 9000 allies left. It was the 300 Spartans, 700 Thespians and some Thebans who were forced to stay back by Leonidas (they were well known turncoats) who fought the last battle.The Thebans surrendered and all the rest died fighting.

[@sociosanch3748]

One of the best battles scenes

[@SuCKeRPunCH187]

the wars fought today are nothing like the wars fought in the past. Your right. These guys had balls, unlike today when when we fire shit from half a mile away.

[@negativeindustrial]

You could kill all 3000 of these guys with the push of a button from thousands of miles away. These guys were badasses but they would be ended in seconds on a modern battlefield.

[@AwoudeX]

while your enemies shoot shit at you aswell, much scarier and much more effective shit... The part where these guys had balls is that they didn't have that effective shit, were outnumbered immensely and still stood their ground or died trying.

Although the movie is based on a graphic novel, greek phalanx is shown EXACTLY the way it worked in reality!When two phalanxes collided at first they pushed each other(it's called "ώθησις" in greek) until one of the two gained ground, then the spears came out in coordinated moves to kill the people that fell to the ground as the result of the push!

Why would the Spartans go to war initially with only 300 men against that multitude. If they went with an army of theirs, Leonardis wouldn't have died together with those 300 men. Well, at least, the Persians were eventually prevented from invading Greece according to History.

This sequence rocks! My favorites: 2:44 as time seemingly stops. The Spartans, showing their superior strength just push back the Persians. 3:06-The technique is full swing--PUSH, repel, and SPEAR 4:39--guy gets SHIELD SLAMMED by Leonid

[@Boukephalos1]

Xerxes sent a demand to Leonidas that he should surrender his arms forthwith. The Spartan king made a "laconic" reply that rings out like Travis' defiant cannon shot: "Molòn lábe"-"Come and take them." That my fiends is why Thermopylae is not just Greece's Alamo but the Worlds.

[@30thMarch]

You obviously haven't undertood my comment. The 300 Spartans died there when covering the RETREAT of the rest of the Greek army. The Spartans could not have possibly held the whole persian army for very long, no matter how good soldiers they were. So what I'm trying to say - there were about 10000 Greeks at Thermopylae but after the Persians found a way to get around them, the army had to retreat and so the 300 Spartans stayed, just to give the Greeks some time to get away.
