The king would be present in the battle area but actually in the fight, not as common as I'd imagine, sure kings would march with their armies as moral support, if the king dies what happens? Moral breaks and the kingly led army falls apart. Not the smartest move to go into the fight to die but Leonidas knew once he was dead in the hands of the Persians, Beheaded, Greece would answer back. So he did have the balls to fight a losing battle, but knew it would not be in vain

You think Spartans weren't tyrannical? Every civilization was but the Spartans were even for their time, still a good thing that they're remembered

[@hotsingleplaguedoctorinarea]

People remember propaganda after thousands of years. The Spartans weren't "elite warriors" who were the "best of the best". They were a slavery driven society of aristocratic elites whose only real contribution to warfare was flexible small unit tactics and psychological warfare through propaganda and flashy displays. Their track record during times of war was average, and the battle of Thermopylae was an absolute failure which lead to the sacking and massacre of Athens, there was absolutely no victory here. The hot gates was believed by the coalition (yes, it was a Greek coalition, not just Spartans running around) to be their best hope against a land invasion due to the massive strategic advantage they offered to their ground forces. The high rocky terrain would force Xerxes to launch a frontal assault every time into a tiny (and I mean T I N Y) gap which could very easily be pushed back and stalled as well as reinforced as per need. The fact that the Greek coalition messed up despite such advantages isn't a cause for celebration, it's humiliation. People also forget the smaller states that contributed hundreds of valuable soldiers during the last stand despite suffering greater consequences in recovering their losses later. What I find extremely ironic is the Idea that this was a fight against oppression, when Sparta was replete with slaves and their brutal abuse and murder wasn't just a commonality, it was tradition.

Leonidas died early on during the final day of fighting and the most brutal battles were over his body. The persians wanted to take it for Xerxes and the spartans wanted to keep it safe for burial. Apprantley, they lost his body and regained it 3 times until they were all wiped out. Shame they didn't show that. EDIT: The reason this is know is that the spartans weren't the only soldiers there. They were being backed up by 2,000ish other Greek soldiers. When they learned that they had been betrayed and were being surrounded, they sent the other Greeks away. Some of them watched the battle play out from a distance.

giotispaok21 you completely misunderstood my points, Spartans were well trained, they had determination, they were better equips and had superior made weaponries, all of those were indeed important, but the most important part of them holding the line for as long as they did was tactic and strategy, choosing to fight where they did to put the numbers out of the equation, and having a battle formation to completely fill the narrow passage, and switching the front line every few minutes and take turns holding the front with the back rest, if they broke formations like this and went balls deep like here or in the movies, and even charged out of the narrow passageway, they would have been done within hours if not minutes, not days, but alas, neither movie or game makers knows how to show a good strategic battle formation so they just show big bad Spartans spitting up and charging out into the open,

[@KageNoTenshi]

giotispaok21 I know enough to know while guts is important in battle, that alone would not have been enough to turn a tide with that level of numerical disadvantage, the Spartans has much better armor, and much better weapon despite the movie showing them as almost naked in a fight , and even those alone wouldn’t have help if they didn’t force the Persians to fight in a narrow place and had the actual tactic and formation for such a terrain

[@Eshayzbra96]

[@Eshayzbra96]

Giotispaok21, uhhhh no, there were far more than that.

it was actually a long standing spartan tradition that the 2 kings of Sparta would have 300 men in each of their royal bodyguards, When a class of boys "graduated" and became men by the spartan standard the Ephors would select 3 which they believed had excelled beyond their peers, these 3 would then pick 100 men each (although the selection was overseen by the Ephors to ensure the young men were picking men by their merits and not simply 100 of their closest friends) the original 3 would then become officers and the 100 they each selected would become the unit which they would lead. So it wasn't odd that the king took 300 men with him, however anytime the kings ordered their entire royal guard anywhere, it meant they'd be gone longer then a day....just some clarity for that scene....

Dindu' Nuffin, the phrase is also referencing the fact a Hoplite's shield is typically one of the most cumbersome parts of their equipment, and thus if one was running away from a battle, they'd toss the shield aside so they could actually flee. So if you returned without your shield, it meant you abandoned the battlefield and your fellow soldiers. I believe a spartan king was asked why losing your helm was better then losing your shield, and the reply was "Because the helm only protects yourself, while the shield protects your fellow soldiers."

Mothers to their sons, wives to their husbands. The actual words was: "e tan, e epi tas" (η ταν, η επί τας), meaning: with the shield, or ON it (fallen soldiers were carried back on their shields, as honoured deads). So it is: come back carrying, or carried by your shield. It is metaphorical and it means: go to war and fight no matter what, to come back alive or dead is irrelevant. Extra note: if a Spartan lose (!!!!!!🤪😵🙈😞) his shield, in any (unacceptable) way for example, by throwing it to some head like Leonard here, he must IMMEDIATELY replace it with another one that he will take from a dead comrade, or (when in Phalanx) the man behind him, so that the formation remain intact

I wasn't there so I don't know but from what I have read the shield was symbolic to them the Greek hoplites where named after the shield they used the hoplon and greek was big Into phalanx fighting as a mass unit and was placed in a way that protected half of you and half of the man beside you and so on. And for Spartans especially the shield was just as important to them as a Samari sword to a Japanese often being passed down to generations so the shields where considered a family jewel aswell and was considered shameful if a Spartan lost his shield in battle. Some would even ingrave on the inside of there shields to so it also helped for when you died to be put with your shield and taken back home.

That was a horrible adaption to the real spartans. Bronze protects metal not cloth 😂

[@gamechanger8908]

Well the 300 movie was a live action adaptation of a comic which was pretty over the top and was based on history.

[@gribbedt]

@@gamechanger8908 But it also had zombie things and creatures, it was meant to be pretty fake.

Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

[@AdamKhan-jc6nv]

That's a great quote

[@Allenryan819]

Loved how historically accurate this game was even down to Leonidas true age which was around 60 when he died. Minus the defensive wall that was between the Spartans and the Persians and the fact that there was 6,700 other Greek soldiers made of Thespians and Thebans and other city state Greeks not just the 300, still very accurate.

Those cultist are shit cowards. rather to surrender than defending their home.

Glad to see they’re wearing real armor at least

[@sotos200012ss]

@nikola poyukov thorax armor not leather armor

[@michaelho9346]

nikola poyukov He means Linothorax and it was made of layers of linen, not leather, it’s a very well documented piece of armour.

[@Kanenas215]

And the armour is not even close to what they would be wearing

[@landlockedcroat1554]

you have to be a special kind of stupid to believe spartans wore leather armor

[@Athonis05]

Fictional or not those warriors were the most feared infantry at the time. Brutal, precise, loyal and with no remorse of loss of life.

[@CoffeeFiend1]

@user-cj3tb3ic4e Spartans are entirely fictional with regards to every depiction of them in television and cinema. Real Spartans were heavy infantry hoplites that fought in formation. None of this charging about in your underpants with a short sword after using your 9-foot spear as a javelin and 15 kilogram shield as a fucking frisbee.

[@BrownGoatEnthusiast]

​@@CoffeeFiend1they did throw their spears though. Well in duels, not in war

[@BlueMan-di3wg]

Bro died with 6 arrows in his torso, a sword in his stomach, and his broken spear by his side, he is a true Spartan.

[@A_Simple_Mithios]

He stood up after getting stabbed by the sword. Showing an act of defiance and then stabbed Xerxes once with the spear. Leo ideas still stood up longer. Shows what a real Spartan and warrior can do for his people.

[@brytoncoy3421]

This is one of the greatest battles ever fought, thank goodness I'm a history nerd because both this game and 300 are both good their not historically accurate but still good non the leas

[@Eduard-f1o]

300 is made after a comic book by Frank Miller.

[@jakobatredies1114]

I know it's a game and all. But they missed a huge chance to give us some epic cinematic action by while sticking to key aspects of the historical recollection.

[@watsonpubgmobile1]

It's Ubisoft, what do you expect?

@@watsonpubgmobile1 yeah I know. Guess I just enjoyed the story of AC3 so much kinda wished they did that more.
