The hold formation is extremely bad for melee troops, as it keeps them from reinforcing their lines. As soon as one man falls, he leaves a gap that leaves the entire front line outnumbered, and the losses mount up way faster than if they were all pushing against the enemy.

The number 300 is likely a mistake made by the ancient historian Herodotus. Furthermore, Leonidas opposed Xerxes and his army with at least 7,000 men. While Athens and Sparta were the primary opponents of Persian rule, other Greek city-states joined them in the fight.
@ryantoth5312 жыл бұрын
the only spartans that went to fight Xerxes were his guard of 300(or very close to that number).. yes the entire army did go and fight but not till after those 300 were dead.. and yes it's true there were other city states with the 300 bringing the total to 7000. but most of them were farmers and crafters not soldiers. at the spartamns peak they had about 8000 soldiers, of course not many but they were all worth 4 regular men
@HappyGM-R Жыл бұрын
@@ryantoth531 I think what the commenter is mistaking is that there were tons of other United Greek armies, but Sparta did not make up all of it. If I’m not mistaken I recall a source saying that the maximum number of Spartans that joined the war (not necessary the battle) was about 800.

You totally got the spartans wrong, as the movie 300 got them wrong. The power of the spartans comes from their Phalanx formation. They formed a wall of spears with super long 5+ meter spears. This gave them insane range and basically made the Phalanx invincible from the front. The Phalanx could only be defeated if flanked from the sides or rear. The strength of the spartans was their spear RANGE. Not because they were super warriors like Achilles. Once they break Phalanx formation, they were useless. This game got the spartans totally wrong. Their spears were not that short. The real spartan spears were about triple that length. Go play Rome: Total War and see how the Spartans really fought using Phalanx formation. In Rome: Total war, I did a simulation of 300 Spartans versus 5,000 Persians. The spartans won with 0 casualties. The spartan spears were so long the persians would never get within 10 meters of a spartan.

Spartans only did so well because they had an easily defended position. It took time, but after attrition and being surrounded they fell. Doesn't mean that they weren't double tough, but the Phalanx was only designed for frontal attacks. Had the Persians caught them on an open plain with their numbers, the Spartans would have gone down quickly despite their superior strength and skill.

The Spartans were superior in real life because of their training. Their advantage was when they were in formation. Their formation was the strongest out of any. The biggest part of their training was their ability to work together. A small mistake and they may all die. It’s the strongest and weakest formation. Never screw with a Spartan in formation.

@The Emperor Of Mankind , Negahban Bozorg The Immortals were at Thermopylae… They failed. You must know nothing if you actually believe that. The Greeks at Thermopylae barley lost anyone because of their strategic advantage. The short spears of the Persians was an easy loss against the Greek, much longer, spear that killed any Persian that wanted to get anywhere near the impenetrable wall of Spartans. Even an Immortal. Their formation was later used by the Romans and shaped modern military. I even made a working strategy for checkers based off it.

The soldiers of the Iranian Eternal Guard were actually the strongest and most skilled soldiers of the ancient period, at the same time. As can be seen in the motifs of Persepolis, the soldier of the royal guard had a long spear, a bow hung on his left shoulder and a tirdan or shrapnel. The soldiers of the Scythian region are equipped with a type of hatchet, the detail of which is well seen with a bird with a bullet in its beak. Other groups are armed with a dagger, which is hung on a belt on the left side and is placed in a cover that is decorated with elegance and skill. Cavalry had chariots or carts that were pulled by horses, and this work is a reminder of the time when the Aryans entered the present land of Iran, and this issue and military style caused a great change in the fate of future wars.
