SympathysSilhouette Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I'm a Greek mythology and history buff, so I'm so going to see this! Leonidas of Thermopylae is one of the greatest stories out there. However, in reality, the 300 Spartans had the help of some 800 men from Athens. For some reason, history has forgotten about them.

nick Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I'm a Greek mythology and history buff, so I'm so going to see this! Leonidas of Thermopylae is one of the greatest stories out there. However, in reality, the 300 Spartans had the help of some 800 men from Athens. For some reason, history has forgotten about them.Well they had more to begin with, but a local villager showed the persians a way to route the greeks position, leonidas dismissed the rest of the army apart from the 300 spartans and 700 thespians who volunteered to stay, with the 1000 phocians guarding the back route. The phocians are thought to have retreated from the persian immortals that advanced around the back route, leaving the spartans and thespians to be slaughtered.The reason the spartans get the acclaim is because they led the defence, a where known as the fiercest warriors in greece.Thats my understanding of it anyway....

nothingless Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I kind of wanted to go see it - until I read nothing but REALLY bad reviews of it (1, 2). A friend of mine still really wants to see it though, so there's a good chance he'll drag me with anyways.What did you guys like so much about the movie?

Angel717 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 it's a good movie, but some people think its some sort of racism (with the persian empire and all, i've read some reviews on Yahoo! movies from persian/iranian people who were outraged by the move and call it "racist"), the others says its historically inaccurate but i don't really get what's the fuzz all about..i mean, come on..it came from a comic book. (and as far as ive seen, most comic books contains things that you see in your wildest dreams..hahaah things that are impossible ) if you like war, and bloodshed, then this movie is for you.

Memento Mori Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 actually it's historyEh, it's history in that there was a battle of Thermopylae, Xerxes and Leonidas were leaders,and some of the quotes used in the movie are real.That's where it ends, really. The phalanx didn't really fight like that, and the Persians didn't employ monsters and beasts. They did employ light infantry, which crashed up against the phalanx, leaving a scene that resembled a meat grinder.Anyway, the invasion still wasn't stopped until the Athenian navy sank the Persian fleet, leaving Xerxes without support. Not to diminish the accomplishment of the 7,000 Greeks (300 of whom were Spartans) at Thermopylae by any means, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
