[@jeremyfusenliu3859]

What's also really cool about this is that while the Persian had numbers, the Spartans used tactics and formation to their advantage. The narrow corridor meant that the Spartans won't be flanked and I really loved how the 2nd row moved infront of the 1st row covering them after they stabbed their enemy, it wasn't until the enemy number thinned that the Spartns broke formation but still reminded in range of each other.

[@m-h1217]

True, although in reality they wouldn't break formation and leave the cliff pass, that was their most advantageous position.

[@erosgritti5171]

They simply have the benefit of defending a narrow position. Indeed, if taken from behind, there is no winning tactic. And yes, even children and animals know that if you have three sides covered, you're ahead of the game.

A really cool detail is that the Spartans would have a row of soldiers in the back whose job it was to stab the enemies they trampled over as that advanced, just to make sure they were all dead and wouldn't surprise them from behind. You can actually see it at 2:05

Which makes no sense for Leonidas to deny the offer from the disabled man earlier, he said every man is crucial for his allies in the line, but he can just put him in back doing the thing you said, hence he wont get betrayed

MÖLÖN LÄBË

[@ryanhendrickson6012]

Believe it or not this is more accurate than you might think. The greeks were obsessed with fitness and the warrior class of citizen soldiers trained relentlessly. An analysis of their diet and the extensive network of gymnasiums found suggests that a high muscle low fat build similar to an mma middle to heavy weight fighter would be the typical greek hoplite. Not every soldier though, the auxiliary troops were not citizens and performed lesser duties, but the heavy frontline infantry could very well have looked this built. As for the costumes thats actually very modest as there are records of battles taking place at the height of the Mediterranean summer where you had to go skins to avoid heat stroke. Fighting for hours in armor is bad enough, hence why the shield was so large.

[@ysdnsingh]

Thanks for this insight.

[@praetorian9823]

I understand that but also considering the sheer numbers of the Persians at that point compared to the 300 Spartans and the 6700 other Greek allies who made their stand, not wearing armor would be an awful choice in this scenario. Plus, come on, the armor looks *way* cooler than them being nearly butt naked if we're going by the rule of cool.

[@ryanhendrickson6012]

​@praetorian9823 I dunno bro, Lotta pottery had neked buff greek hoplites, an that's one of our main sources of evidence! I understand your point though, the armor sick AF! And the front line probably wore it. The reservist in the back though...

[@praetorian9823]

@ryanhendrickson6012 good point. To be fair, though, a ton of stuff gets overexaggerated both ways. Even with regards to the Spartans, as far as I recall, after Rome conquered them, their training regiments got way more brutal than they originally were as an independent nation to try and sell how tough they were. Don't get me wrong, Spartan training was obviously still insane, but they added a lot more brutality to try and make it seem like it was nearly impossible to beat a Spartan.

Still they only delayed the persians by a few days tops, and persia still won the war and it took years before the greeks drove them back out. It was a successful tactical action but was insignificant strategically. Waste of valuable elite troops.

[@DarkMatterX1]

Dude, what? This war was 1 year long, roughly. Yes, the Persians marched in and burned Athens. But a months later, the entire Persian navy was destroyed at Salamis. Almost exactly a year to the day the Greeks utterly annihilated the Persian army at Plataea. In terms of ancient wars, thus was an absolute fucking blowout in favor if the Greeks. The Persian Empire wouldn't be able to project power again for 2 centuries.

[@alikhorshidi4978]

300 is an American fantasy epic historical drama film directed by Zack Snyder and released in 2006. This movie is based on a comic series of the same name. This comic series was created in 1998 by Frank Miller, who was mentally ill, and Lynn Worley, who was mentally ill. This film narrates a fictional account of the Battle of Thermopylae, which took place between the great and powerful Achaemenid army and Greek cities. According to historical sources, these three hundred people could only resist for 2 days and during this attack, Athens fell and became a colony of Iran. Those of you who came and leave likes and comments here, take a look at the great history of Iran. It is true that everyone cares about their country, but history says something else. (Long live Iran, long live Iranians and the Aryan generation)

[@badseednut]

The Battle of Thermopylae is one of the most important battles in Greek and world history. Above all, from a moral point of view, it is a brilliant example of self-denial, self-sacrifice and obedience to the country. The battle demonstrated the advantages of the Spartans' military training, better equipment, and clever use of terrain. Conveniently you forgot to mention that after the two days, Efilatis the traitor, lead the Persian army to the back of the Greek forces and that's how they lost. Athens never become a colony of Iran because a) Iran didn't exist back then b) the Persian army found the city empty and they burned it to the ground out of spite. There was nothing to colonise. No people, no buildings. Later on, the Athenians came back and rebuilt the city after they won the battle of Salamina, where Persians suffered a significant loss. After the battle of Plateon, and the battle of Mekales the Persians were severely defeated by the Greeks and returned back to their caves. In general, according to history and not fantasy, Persians failed tragically in their attempt to conquer Greece. Greeks freed all the Greek cities in the Asia Minor coast. Xerxes, was a lunatic. His engineers built bridges to pass the Hellespont but they were destroyed by a sea storm. Xerxes had his engineers beheaded and ordered his army to whip the sea and commanded to shackle it because it didn't obey to his orders, by throwing chains in it. He led his empire to extinction out of spite, beheading everyone near him after his massive failure to conquer Greece. He even beheaded close relatives. He lost his mind completely and finally he perished by the hands of his own people who had enough of his madness and failure. Later on, Alexander the Great, colonised Persia and had his soldiers marrying Persian women, but not the other way around. There is a tribe, Kalash, that they believe they are descendants of Alexander the Great. His expedition brought the rightful end of the Persian empire. That's history. Not fantasy. Persians tried to bring darkness to the world, but thanks to the Greeks they failed miserably.

Truth is, nobody really knows if this battle happened at the hot gates or not. It's only mentioned in one historical text, and that was written many years after the battle happened, supposedly based on accounts of a few who were there on the Greek side. No accounts exist of those who fought for the Persian army. Archeological excavations also don't offer much evidence of a major battle in that location, except for a small hill on the costal pass where many arrowheads were found. However this site has been the location for many skirmishes over history, many between rival Greek tribes/kingdoms.

Great movie and a great scene even though totally wrong! The whole point of the Spartan and Greek phalanx was to present an unbroken line of shields and spears to the enemy (as the first couple of minutes showed), they would never have broken up into individual combat - earlier Leonidas even refused Ephialtes' help because he couldn't raise his shield high enough to protect the man next to him as he would need to do in the front rank! Still, its a moving graphic novel, not an authentic account of the battle (the actual pass was a few hundred yards wide, not a cramped corridor and there were around 7,000 other Greek warriors there too!)

[@m-h1217]

You are very right about everything except the width of the pass. At the most narrow section it's estimated to have been 15 meters (50 feet) wide.

[@plymouth5714]

@@m-h1217 I've just had a re-read of the battle and you're right! I never realised it was that narrow and some reports state that the Greeks had more men than they needed for the width and were able to move units in and out of the line to rest them. What is amazing these days is that the spot where (in the film) the Spartans watched the Persian fleet being destroyed by the storm now looks out over a green plain - the sea having retreated some miles further out due to the bay getting full of sediment and drying out!
