2:25 Not just Greece Spartans were one of the most trained, disciplined and strongest warriors in the ancient world. What was also a factor in Greece and in many places of the world. Having an army cost a lot of money, so most ''soldiers'' were normal working men the farmers, workers, sculptors smiths etc etc. Sparta had a real army who's only purpose was to fight.

[@Freedmoon44]

Well thats a misconception, Spartans were extremely disciplined for sure, and their training most likely the most brutal of the time, but like, only the 300 which were the Kings guard and made up of the best of the best of Spartan society would be able to boast all those titles, the rest of the Spartan armies, while strong as hell, would for example face alot of trouble against Thebans discipline and strenght, only differance being that Thebes is a weaker city-state in sheer size so evne when it won it was an hollow victory especially since it was after Sparta was in decline for centuries and the expedition of the 10000 ended in disaster. What the Spartans were by far on average the best at however is the traditionnal Phallanx, but even then they also relied alot on their reputation to make the opposite phallanx falter so swiftly. What i mean to say is that there were beasts, but not space marines

@@emperior5710 yeah, I do wonder if the designers are that accurate in designing them correctly, I mean they hit the mark in Hercules, Gilgamesh, Medea, Cu, Achilles, Chiron, Jeanna, Sigfried, Karna, Tamamo, and Suzuka Gozen, then there are servant's that we don't care to much about that get a pass on the design since they were gender bent or fanservice like Artoria, Nero, Astolfo, Zuanzong, Queen of Sheba, Mordred, Francis Drake, Ushiwakamaru, and Spartacus, and then there are the people I think could have been designed and characterized better like Artemis (not the love-obsessed person we see but make her a stern god that wear's more clothing), Atalanta (make have bigger boob's and wear hunting outfit, not a skirt, only complaint's), Boudica(wearing armor of some kind), Ceasar (make him muscular not fat), Nitocris (more clothing), and Leonidous (MAKE HIM HAVE OG SPARTAN ARMOR, AND IF NEED FOR FLAIR, ADD FIRE GOD DAMN IT), I respected many of these people, and I'll tell you this, while I find them fun, I am gravely insulted they were not given proper justice or not enough justice

Fun fact Philip father of Alexander the Great he send a message to Sparta telling them if Sparta didn't surrender to him he would declare war on Sparta and Kill Them All the Spartan King back then he reply to him with one word IF it's true story

[@L0rd0fLight1]

The line was "If I win this war, you will be slaves forever", the Spartans then replied "IF", if you are gonna use the Spartan reply you probable should say what they were replying to, cause as your comment stand the only if is "if sparta didn't surrender", which would give the complete opposite meaning to what Sparta actually meant.

[@LoneWolf20213]

in the game FGO, Leonidas should have his noble phantasm increased to increase his attack power as well as increasing his defense with a gut's applied to it as well, applying even stronger defense and offense as he starves away enemy attack's

What do you mean like Kratos? It is believed that the Spartan king’s where descendents of Heracles, which does make him related to Zeus (but honestly, who isn’t related to Zeus with how much he “gets around) and he is a spartan but that’s all I can tell. He is really cool though, If I were a person to see the battle at that time, I’d probably think “ yeah, he’s definitely a descendent of two of the strongest God’s there are.” Edit:I feel I should point out, I don’t know a lot about the GoW games, I’m not trying to be rude, I’m curious about what else makes them similar.
