Fun Fact: The actual King Leonidas was 60 years old at the time of the Battle Of Thermopylae, but he still fought on the front lines with his men. Despite his older age, he was still in great shape, and was still a formidable fighter, likely due to that Spartan training.

and as the winged Hussars rode down the hill 3234, The remaining Spartans looked to their left to the fields of poltova only to see a hoard of Swedish pagans marching ashore. The Persians sensing that they were doomed, pooled out their secret weapon: White death and the ghost division, To many this may have been the end, but the Spartans had one trick left up their sleeve and for the final stand called upon the Swiss guard led by the lion from the north. And an army of Zulu warriors lead by Caralous rex.

If you haven't, read Gates of Fire. It's a novel about the 300 fighting in Thermopylae. It really puts into perspective how brutal Spartan training is, honing not just the body but the mind for all manner of hardships. It's often considered mandatory reading for anyone joining the army because it stresses how every man and woman of Sparta so valued their freedom and country that they would rather die than submit to another nation. Despite their reputation, Spartans truly loved their nation and each other, which is why they willingly fought to the last man.

Guys I am from Greece And I know some things about this fight. Even if Spartans knew that they were going to die that day the stayed and fought until no one of them was still alive. Spartans were one of the best in the Persia's War they stayed and fight a lot more soldiers than them and it was really heroic. They may not manage to win but they will always be remembered by people of older and younger genies. Ephialtes doesn't worth to be called as Hellenic or Spartan. Spartans created a strategy that would cyrcle Persians and hit them from everywhere but Ephialtes, a local disabled person knew the secret passages of the area and drove Perses on the Greeks/Spartans back. That's how Greeks/Spartans plan was destroyed. That's why the singers say that Know his name Know his shame Will last forever. you will all wonder why he did that. Its simple. Because of his disability he wasn't allowed to join the army and other politic things that made him angry and feel a about Greeks/Spartans. That's why he did what he did. After the war Spartans like the song says. One more things. Persia's king went in Leonidas and told him that he wouldn't kill any one of them if they gave the city to him. Leonidas a fantastic answer to him. It was in greek language and that was the thing that made Persian's angry.

[@Xaforn]

If he’d been disabled from birth he would’ve been abandoned and left to die. If something happened as an adult he would’ve been used as an example of what not to do, his rank decided what he could do with politics. I doubt anyone truly wonders why he did it, we know there are simply people without honor. They may have died but no one ever forgets the underdog.

[@sgauden02]

@@XafornThe real Ephialtes wasn't deformed. He wasn't even a Spartan. He was just a Greek farmer who lived nearby, and knew of the old goat path. He betrayed Greece to get a reward from the Persians. The real Ephialtes betrayed everybody out of pure greed.

Incedible song! As Sabaton noticed in album's booklet, there were 700 Thespians who died in Thermopyles, without took any glory for their sacrifice. All we know the 300 Spartans, who had law to not return and die in battle if they didn't win, so it was duty their death and they hadn't any other choice, finally, but no one knows the 700 Thespians who sacrified only because they wanted...

[@theamericana999]

In total the number at Thermopylae was around 4,000, Herodotus and Plutarch have different numbers for that, but it's believed to have been 4,000 led by Leonidas with Demophilus. When the Greeks were betrayed by Ephialtes, leonidas ordered the helot troops that he brought with him and other forces to leave. Demophilus stayed with his troops along with 100s of others, even some helots stayed. The goal Leonidas was to keep a small yet strong contingent at Thermopylae to fight so he could give the Greek troops time to escape. He didn't want all the men to perish. The main thing also is that, it never had been written in recorded history as to whether or not they actually always fought to the death, but we can confirm that at Thermopylae they surely did. You should totally check out the song 40:1 by them. They talk about a battle between German and polish troops during the beginning phases of the German invasion of Poland, in the battle the polish had 1,000 men going against the 40,000 German troops. It's a pretty awesome song!

[@gsiros]

Of course there was a law saying you will either come as a winner or dead. Search the phrase "Ή τάν ή επί τάς". You should better know that. Although Leonidas asked the remaining men to stay with him, he made clear that everyone else who didn't want to fight by his side was free to go. *BUT* ! Those who return from a battle defeated and not dead are being judged by the Spartan society really hard for their cowardliness.

Cyrus also warned the Ionians not to help Croesus. but I don't think persian invasion was even a thing compare to Greek , Roman and Colonial empires that destroyed , genocided , massacred the whole world and vanished many cultures and forced their own culture and language.

[@shapurthegreat8314]

Chris Porter You conclude what you want from my words. for herodotus , the description of the revolt is intimately linked to a wider historiographic objevtive : to explain the origins of the war between persians and the greeks. And in his mind it is clear that the ionians , for whom he did not harbor the least sympathy , played a despicable role : their revolt brought on devastation.(V.28).The burning of sardis offered the persians a pretext for launching a war of reprisals against Eretria and Athens(V.102), and the sending of Athenian and Eretrian reinforcements "was the beginning of trouble not only for greece, but for the rest of the world as well" (V.97). Aristagoras is presented as a crazy man, guided at first by the fear of losing power at Miletus and ready to involve the Greeks in a hopeless revolt (V.35) : when he urged the exiled paeonians in Asia to recapture their countries, it was not to achieve any advantage fore the ionians , it was simply "to annoy Darius"(V.98). Herodotus also satets(not unmaliciously) that Aristagoras himself did not take part in the raid on sardis(V.99). And finally, unable to follow through to the end the operations he had initiated, this "poor- spirited creature left Asia minor for Thrace (V.124-126). History of the persian empire , Pierre briant , p149 You reversed my explanation. I wanted to say that you are always trying to demonize the East whereas your history is filled with blood even more than others. great progress and development of Western Civilization give them an excuse to cover what they did and are doing. Didn't you think for a second that maybe Migration to west is resulf of Making terrorism and governments , selling equipments and weapons to every side for fighting each other and destroying their economy and country that takes a century only for returning to their first condition , spreading diseases , penetrating to countries changing their values and made them stupid tool working for their Highly developed master?
