  • wish the movie was a bit more accurate they were pretty off on this one, it was entertaining though

  • can you imagine if someone how there was a group of 10 guys with machine guns. They would be able to conquer the world back then

  • Should have sent kratos ;) lol

    I never knew that the battle was real, thought it was just a plot for the movie. Spartans were war machines, image they had an army the size of Perisans. Wow

  • spartans were gangstas lol

  • could you imagine if the entire allied invasion at normandy was fought off by a single squad of ss super soldiers? that would definately change how people would look at these people.

  • The Spartans was descendenc from Pelazgians,wath mean,than Spartans are not Greeks!Actually Spartans are Slavic descendet !!!When Greeks come to Helm(today Balcan)they fight with Pelazgian people!The Greeks even come 400-500 years before the Troyan war(1330 B.C.)!!And tribe of Soartans are belong to tribe of Dan!And tribes who fight in Troyan war was Vends,Polonians etc!

  • @MrDex369 who taught you all these big shits? Just read history and you learn that spartans came from a greek tribe called dorian who lived at the mountains of Pindos..then because of several problems they moved at other places.The name of a place they went was Pelloponisus.They fought with the locals and managed to win them,they said that the name of that region would be Lakonia and after years the capital was named Sparta...Spartans are Greeks..i am historian and i know much more things..

  • Only the winners write the history everyone remember that :-)

  • Spartans were gay - Literally - It was encouraged in the military. Pedophilia was also encouraged between a young boy and his coach/master.

  • @gbatemper123 - That didn't stop them from beating the flying fuck out of the Persians! 

  • @StompingRabbits The persians weren't even that bad. Many shows and movies villify then for various reasons. Multiculturism is only one of the many reasons why Imo Persia is much better then Sparta.

    Which would you prefer? Badass warriors taking over your state and making you, your friends, and family slaves and destroy most, if not all famous buildings, or a more lenient emperor that would allow you to keep your culture and buildings.

  • @gbatemper123 - Multiculturalism isn't all it's cut out to be, have a look at the former Yugoslavia for a prime example of a multicultural disaster. Some cultures are in fact incompatible and irreconcilable. I'm didn't major in ancient history and I am unaware of the Spartans occupying other countries or other Greek city states. Soft tyranny is still tyranny and it does usually turn harsh at some point. If ancient Persia was "much better" then they would have beat Greece!

  • @gbatemper123 - Modern day Persia or Iran is just begging for an ass kicking and they are gonna get it just like ancient Persia got there's! In my opinion the myth of multiculturalism is just that, a myth!

  • @gbatemper123 - As far as that "soft tyranny isn't that bad" nonsense goes the fact of the matter is that the invasion of Greece by Persia was in fact a race war and if Persia had of won then World History would have been radically changed! Western Civilization would have been snuffed out in it's infancy! I have a strange inkling that you would have preferred such a scenario and that you have issues with Whites in general.

  • Xerxes he fucking had to ruin Persia by starting a battle with Greeks, he could have saved them till last

  • incredible people, would love to meet one of them

  • @mrsladegreen go chechenya and you will see

  • After 2 minutes and 30 when he claims that 2 million(it was about 190.000) soldiers fought on the D-day I decided not to watch this...

  • How did they get the info. For this, If he said that they all died?

  • God Bless them all......The Special Forces are desendants of these men....

  • Democracy? Sparta had kings...

  • I find this documentary cooler than the movie, not in terms of effects but just the fact that this is human and real, makes it seem much more significant. And Persia was one of the greatest empires in human history, not black, mutilated monsters as Frank Miller would like us to believe. Sorry fanboys.

  • @Evenflowist314 though frank millers version is a fictional comic of course, not a documentary like this...

  • @jamieisamonkey

    Yeah I get that but it doesn't mean that it can't have some historical elements along with action and gore.

  • @Evenflowist314 Really??? Dude, you fucked my dreams!

    Just kidding, maybe he did that just to make the hole scary situation (few against many) scarier.

  • ...I'm not gonna say it...I'm trying REEALLY hard not to say it...

    ...THIS IS SPARTA!!

    Goddammit I said it ><.

  • LoL, just think about if they'd just ignore the 300! Just take their naval force right to Athens and Sparta. They'd fall like a bunch of dogs and Rome would never existed! I wonder how that would have been. :\

  • every state in the Us ganging against cuba lol watch out cuba we are ganging up on you

  • If the storm had not destroyed the navy, persian would had eaten greeks like halva.

  • @persianaryan12 nope neither that, look at battle of platea ;)

  • @persianaryan12 If you know much about persia you would know that persia would not destroy anything in athen... or anything.. only if it was needed... Like did you know that babylon were not destroyed before alexander the great came and burnt down the culture of the persians.. also they bevelive that persia was not a democraty.. actuly was the greek and persia the first democratic countries in the world... So if alexander the great haden't burnt down the persian castle.. Democraty in more lands.

  • wow good pick for the greeks sending in king leonidas and his spartans kinda like sending in the navy SEAL or SAS

  • Was this part of the blu ray?

  • The Persians was just like American is today of different races of people

  • @ben42us more like communism 

  • @ben42us Except that Americans tend to succeed when invading and occupying countries.

  • @SpellboundSolution

    vietnam and iraaq come to mind

  • @rhysieboy999 Well America (or the Coalition Forces) did succeed in invading and occupying Iraq. Saddam's forces crumpled pretty quickly since they didn't want to fight for a man that made them stand, watch and applaud as their family members where tortured to death. Whether or not the whole endeavor has been a fuck up once they got into the country is up for debate, but since the New York Times and Guardian doesn't tell us anything about what's going on inside Iraq there's a good chance...

  • @rhysieboy999 ...that the Iraqi people have a bright future. I'm not counting on it though.

  • @ben42us haha yea.. do you have seen holland dammnn

  • @ben42us - This was the first major race war against White Europeans, had the Greeks lost there would be no Western Civilization and likely no White race either, Whites would have become extinct!

  • @ben42us yeah true but learn some English mate !

  • how the fuck can that guy compare spartans with the delta force?

  • @sintomalokatzis - they were the elite fighting force. Even more so though, as they were trained to fight from the time they were little kids.

  • @sintomalokatzis no i mean the exact opposite.as you said they were trained since the age of 7...delta force can't match the spartans in toughness and there is no reason comparing these two elite forces...it is painfully obvious that the spartan training was tougher than any other special ops training of the modern history...I am greek myself and i do respect the US army but there is no commando in modern history that can reach the level of toughness and brutal training of ancient spartans

  • @sintomalokatzis really dude? it means the 300 back in their day were like the delta force of today.

  • @sintomalokatzis Because the Spartans were the most elite force out there, just as the Delta Force.

  • no offence but there were more Greeks (they weren't only spartans)

  • lol if you have to explain the term spartans with 'delta force' you know you are watching american tv. delta force is just a special forces among many. the spartans are unmatched in the whole of history. how ignorant are americans?

  • this is completely rediculious lie and claim by greek historians. how can move 300,000 to 2000,000 solders in one time and fight with just 300 solders.

    Do you know to move so many solders from one place to other how vast logistics will require to move them. just emagine to feed 300000 solders at one sitting...... and so on

    this is complete historical lies against Persians who where civilized and brave nation at that time and still today they have same spirit.

  • just to know... there weren't just 300 soldiers! there were 10000! until they were betrayed! thats when leonidas ordered them to leave!!1

  • @dimchrikal No there was atleast 350 soldiers

  • @dimchrikal no there were only 300 spartans + 7000 greeks from other places in greece. in total. almost 7.300 greeks against 60.000 persians. just imagine the difference 7.300 spartans vs 60.000 persians. and spartans wouldve WON if they hadnt been betrayed by an ugly man called Ephialtes

  • hi

  • Guys just letting you know, stop hating on the 300 movie! It may not be historrically accurate, but its based of a comic book, check it out for yourselves:D

  • we Persians took over the world once.. we WILL do it again if we have to!

  • @ahriman46 ally persian 

  • @ahriman46 300 spartan alomst killed you all what if all the spartans atk then you all would die

  • @janekoman12 thats just a movie u idiot!

    if persians were that pussy then how come persia and persians sill exists?

  • ITS FUNNY I FIRST SAW THIS VIA DISCOVERY CHANNEL & THOUGHT WOW WHAT I STILL DON'T KNOW & FELT LEARNING SOMETHING NEW ALWAYS >> THEN SAW THE FULL FLEDGE HIGH PROFILED MOVIE & FELT IT BY COMPARISON TO THIS 2 B THE MOST CARTOONISH SILLY VIEWED LIKE A PLAYSTATION GAME & FELT IT TO BE TOTAL CRAP (EVEN LAUGHED OUTLOUD OVER HOW FOOLISHLY OVER THE TOP IT WAS FOR SENSATIONAL MADE FOR THE MOVIES ... THIS IS A MOVIE & PLENTY OF SUSPENCE IN THE TRUTH ... >>

  • Spartans Weren't Greeks.

  • @FBFTheRagingWarrior What were they then?

    We are definitely hellenics, I am definitely hellenic and I am 100% Spartan blood so I dont know what your trying to say

  • @xxeennoo Dude you can't say that:Maeeeee Im 100% Pure-blooded" No one is pure-blooded these days.And what im trying to say is that Spartans were at war with all of Greece at one point of history,while they were considering them self as a different nation/state.But all of this has no point,since we all come from the same monkey.So recognising a group of people by its regional name is yes quite retarded.Since there was no such think as a greek,german,....etc monkey.There is only "monkey".

  • @FBFTheRagingWarrior Well saying your greek or anything is saying what part of the world you are from. So your technically incorrect, but your right there is no way to tell f your 100 percent something, but people can go off what they know of their roots

  • @xxeennoo Wow thats the shit man, not that i am doubting you, but how do you know your not just greek. I mean the last of the spartans died out hundreds of years ago according to my history book. How do you know your spartan blood? Take care.

  • why u americans r so amazed by spartans,peloponesian war alexander the great etc etc and u NEVER refer or care about the great warrioors of greece during 1821?havent u ever heard about maniats(maniates)or sulians(suliotes)during the greek rebeelion? greeks in 1821 destroyed in only 7 years the ottoman empire.did u know that or u have no idea what im talking about?trust me checking what happened in greece at 1821 ull be amazed as much as spartans,athenians etc etc

  • spartians that spartians this..hmmmmm.Let me give my point off weiw.Look at the statues from persians ens some pictures from persians..they look like IRANIANS TODAY..now look at SPARTANIANS statues end pictures,when i compare them whith greec THEY DONT LOOK LIKE GREECS...they look to me more LIKE MACEDONIANS OR SERBS..dont TRUST ME..CHECK FOR UR SELF

  • @SunEyes83 lol?

  • lol you people are funny. i enjoy reading the back and forth comments. they make me laugh

  • @gungyow You got a point. It is interesting to see who can boast more of how history is or was. Either way, the best way to look at history is how it happen. We can worry and add theories later on as we see fit. But anyway, back to the arguments, lol.

  • Definately 2 million!

  • I dont trust this so called historians. And fuck hollywood. Carbage people think they are superior.

  • @antifaTurk So what do you believe really happened?

  • @antifaTurk ah yes, the Turk hater defies history because it doesn't suit him. Convenient and predictable. And yet your government built a trireme just months ago to make the round of the world, in an attempt to boast 'ancient turkish civilization', the same way as you show off ancient greek temples and ruins in ads in a poor attempt to attract tourism. And just as much as the so called 'Macedonians' attempt to get a piece of history by renaming themselves to Macedonians. Lol.

    Pathetic.

  • @andreasb08  BOSS

  • 300 PLUS 700

  • The Persian were able to conquer or defeat other armies because they are just little bit damn than the persian and the Persian uses money buying other armies or kingdom, now they engaged a real army and they uses vast man power outnumbering the Spartan about 40-50 to1 yet they lost, the same thing when Alexander the Great ivaded Persia ,the persian again uses enormous armies outnumbering Alexander soldier agin 40,000 against 200,000-300,000 still the Persian lost ,Persian simply they are Evil

  • @ceboym You are ignorant.

    NO EMPIRE WAS EVER CREATED BY MONEY OR NUMBERS. They started out small too.

    So you better start learning from other sources rather than history channel.

  • wtf u know about greek history

  • Omg I pity those who watch this shit called history channel... It is only there for propaganda purpose instead of showing the true story...

    Modern estimates say 100000 thousand Persians... Not 300000. And those who believe it was 2 million are those idiots who are believing every shitty story of that shithead Herodotus.

    Believe me, i now the history of my people more then some fat americans claiming they know everything about those two great civilizations (Greece and Persia)

  • lol it was 100k persians

  • Oh man! Look at the chair. It doesn't just look Arabic, it is even Islamic. I just makes me wondering. WHY?

  • @sniper89y well they were known for their long hair and bears, and hats lol

  • Why the HELL did they make ''Xerxes" look like Arabs??

    He had a completely different culture and therefore he had a completely different looks and especially clothes.

  • @sniper89y So that an average american douchebag can associate that with the east and the terrorists.

  • @migkillerphantom "So that an average american douchebag" Average? Don't make yourself look like an idiot while trying to combat a moron.

  • @fatsomamacheese You see, I said "average american douchebag" so a person with little intellectual potential may understand my point. There is no need to extend your posts on youtube - the chances are, most will not comprehend, and as such won't read.

  • @migkillerphantom please don't associate all Americans with conservative xenophobic loonies.

  • @sniper89y It shows how accurate these stories are and how much these "historians" really know about those times.

  • @paraich1 I am arrogant towards you only because of the previously listed reasons.

    You also stand no chance of flaming me into arguing with you on your level.

    And, if you want to get any kind of respect whatsoever (not from me, you have proved yourself not intelligent enough), I suggest you learn some basic form of english grammar.

  • @migkillerphantom "my friend" you stated something without any proof and you call me a troll? i asked you even though where did you read that? your statement (about the numbers of the belligerents) is wrong, i think you should prove something not me!

    ps i'm not 12

  • @StaloNeGR I could prove it. I already suggested, that if you want to discuss something, I will PROVE you wrong. I would have done so, if you atleast informed me what you perceive as "wrong".

    But what do you do? You just keep spamming posts with no intellectual value, in a futile attempt to start a flamewar.

    Good day to you, sir.

  • @migkillerphantom ps(2) people will respect you for your opinions and beliefs...not from your english.. are you serious? i'm greek not english (or american) try to study greek grammar (or latin) if you want to learn something,english are crappy anyway..

    ps(3) stop being cocky 'cause you know shit!!!

  • @paraich1 I am a troll? Then please explain me, how making illogical, unsupported statements with the purpose of triggering a flame war, is not trolling. Which is exactly what you do.

    Lol, a dick. People, when will you find more creative ways of trolling? This is not even a challenge. So you can go crying back to your mother right now.

  • ironically i used to cut class to stay home and watch the history ch

    i think it sucks today though

  • fukk Leonidas!!! Themistocles was the genius! history only records popular opinion....often not the facts

  • @gorgnash Fuck leonidas???What Leonidas led 300 soldiers to battle with an army much larger in size and led all of the 300 to their death.He never surrendered and sacrificed the lives of his men and his own to defend against the persian army who where nothing but pigs trying to control the world when there country was already large and rich enough.

  • @MultiMatt888 what persia was the greatest empire of the time not pigs.... get ur facts straight. persia was the shining beacon of earth and did alot more for history then the stupid greeks. They had the first human rights they didnt own slaves and CYRUS THE GREAT WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST HUMAN BEINGS IN HISTORY!! the gay ass spartans threw babies in pits yea how heroic bunch of queers. they were the nazis of there day commiting acts of genocide against themselves. fuck the queer spartans

  • @seminoleboy96 the rule of history is if you discover or invent it, you get to name it. so tell me why for every Latin root in English, there is at least one or two Greek roots? the Persian empire contributed what to history? slavery and poverty when it fell? The much more successful Roman Empire wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for the Greek lawmaker Solon, Plato and Aristotle's Republic. stop praising the modern sharia law worshipers and GET IT RIGHT

  • @3rdEyeSpeaks hey idiot. persia didnt have slaves and they contributed something more important then language and that is laws, roads, and human rights. spartans were tyrants athenians were ok to me but there government was so flawed. anyway dont even associate persia with those culture sucking arabs!!! And the only reason there is a lot of latin from greek is because of greeks visiting rome if persians had visited rome there would be mostly perisan spoke today it was a matter of location

  • @seminoleboy96 the POINT IS, language and etymology can tell you the origin of something. that is why a lot of ENGLISH, not latin, comes from Greek and Latin(astrology, physics,mathematics anything that ends in ogy). Spartans tried to unite the city states under a military rule and yes that failed, Athens was more fair/democratic. my mistake for grouping Arabs and Persians, i still think both cultures from Cyrus and Alexander should have prevailed instead of this destructive hateful ideology

  • @3rdEyeSpeaks Your the biggest dickhead ive ever encountered on the internets.

  • @bezerka what does that make you? why reply to a conversation that is clearly over your head , and you were not invited to

  • @3rdEyeSpeaks It makes me a good observer.

  • @bezerka this documentary and movie distort and pervert the issues, so why do seeking historically accurate facts make me, your immature phrase, a dickhead ?

  • I don't know the history but I doubt athens would perish under the persian regime, if the other parts of their empire was developing I don't know why the greek territory wouldn't.

  • the spartans were a bunch of dookyshooting faggots

  • @egyptiansareblack26 lol you said 'dookyshooting'

  • REMEMBER THE 300!!! sounds just as good as

    REMEMBER THE ALAMO!!

  • History channel os total bullshit!

    300'000 persians? 7000 greeks?

    It was 12'000 greeks vs 60'000 persians in a FUCKING BOTTLENECK!!!

    I am surprised the greeks managed to lose in the end.

  • @migkillerphantom this is false,where did you read it?

  • @StaloNeGR LOL.

    I suggest you specify what exactly is false in your opinion, and then I'll proceed to prove you wrong.

    Gosh, I hate youtube flamewars.

  • @migkillerphantom and i hate people who think they are smart but kno fuck all like yourself

  • @paraich1 What? I never implied I know everything. I just implied I am more intelligent than you..

    You know what I hate? 12 year old trolls wasting my time with pointless arguments.

  • @migkillerphantom 'I suggest you specify what exactly is false in your opinion, and then I'll proceed to prove you wrong.' ai im im not trolling im stopping you from being a troll and a complete dick to other people with your arrogance and im not 12 but im sure youd like that if i was u paedo

  • @migkillerphantom So many people are jumping your dumb ass, I figured if I looked a few pages back I would find where you said something incorrect. There were not 12000 greeks at thermopylae, there were about 7000. Unless you'd like to show your evidence to prove otherwise, but almost all educated sources disagree with you.

  • @fatsomamacheese LOL

    I know there were 7000 greeks. But you can't judge a drunk man's actions. And, my dumb ass? lol

    However, as I have replied now, I will not start a flamewar.

  • @migkillerphantom So you admit you were wrong when you said 12000 and then continued to fling poo at other people trying to correct you. Good, a flamewar isn't necessary.

  • @fatsomamacheese Fling poo? Trying to correct me?

    All those people did was trying to tell that the persians were Untermensch, who created their empire by sheer numbers.

    So, after I accidentaly wrote 12 000, I saw no need to correct myself. I see no need to do it now, as it is clearly visible all you want is a flamewar.

  • @migkillerphantom There is no need for you to respond. Wanting a flamewar would be the only reason to respond to me at this point, so I find it ironic you keep doing so. You admitted you were wrong, that's all you had to say.

  • @fatsomamacheese You should better read the posts by the other parties too, before using such primitive and insulting terms.

    And no, the spartans were not gods.

    And no, the persians did not buy their empire, nor were their troops slaves.

    Just preempting for now.

  • @migkillerphantom "You should better read the posts by the other parties too, before using such primitive and insulting terms." If flinging poo is primitive, why on earth were you doing it?

  • @fatsomamacheese ...

    whatever, I hate youtube flamewars.

  • @migkillerphantom Then why start one?

  • @fatsomamacheese Thats fuckin hilarious man!!! lmfao

  • Can only say never fuck with greece :-D

    At least the turks have learned that :-P

  • @Ursusdk haha that's true

  • Kill our enemies!moslims! 14/88

  • @Schutzstaffel2015 To fully understand why there is so much 3rd world immigration into Europe & the motivations of those that promote it watch the videos on You Tube titled...

    " How Zionists Divide and Conquer "

    &

    " How Nations Die! "

  • @Schutzstaffel2015 do u fucking die u fucking peice of shit?!?!?!?

  • i am Greek they were 700 thespieis and 300 spartans the personal guards of Leonidas

    at least that's we been learned in scool

  • @gamotousKolalbanous auto prospa8w na tous pw alla gamiountai re

    Unlike the actual Persian Immortals that fought the Greeeks, Hezbollah would need Women & Children to hide behind first.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • 300 hezbolllah vs israeli army

    do u believe it?

    i bet u wont

  • If the show supposed to be true story, than there should be better models for Lakedaimonian warriors.Those are weak queers, wear inaccurate armor that is at least several centuries apart,like roman style chest piece, red would never look like that even if it was used like uniform at the time of Persian invasion,which it wasnt..Also golden looks for ancient armor is rare due to the different bronze alloy used than..more dark gray or brown look.just see the excavated stuff.Armor is too big also

  • @Testosteron250 not to mention the real spartans descended from the danites (israelites) and they were black ! the uniform is the least of worry

  • @rniggemyer Tan is the word you want...Black people as in negroid human race or descend are not supported by archeology..no excavated bones from hundreds dating to any century BC showed any trace of that race,even a +100 human remains from Sparta dating 6-5BC...And that heritage theory is just one of the assumptions going to the earliest possible time of human history and no definite answers can be given..so the cheaply armed skinny actors are still THE biggest problem.

  • @Testosteron250 They were white damn it, many greeks were from germanic tribes. Their pottery had swastikas on it, no blacks had swastikas on their art.

  • @Chickenwing1313 swastika was one of the million ancient decorative symbols which appears throughout the world, and symbol has absolutely nothing to do with Germany or Hitler...and ancient Greeks were certainly not in any way connected to "Germanic tribes"...and if by white you mean white skin than you are wrong...even today many Greeks go almost black in summer,and ancient practically lived under the sun for 9months a year

  • @Testosteron250 lol greeks today are totally different to greeks then. Don't lecture me on the swastika, I know Hitler didn't invent it. It is only in places influenced by the Indo European ie Greece, Egypt, Persia and throughout Europe.

  • @rniggemyer lol spartans were comming from hercules and they were black?

  • @tzmakis spartans were not black lol !!!

  • @StaloNeGR this moron said that

  • @rniggemyer that's not historically proper, spartans were dorians and had nothing to do with israelites... and of course they weren't black, jesus christ, the maybe didn't know what israelian is!!! i see propaganda here :/

  • HELLO I DON'T WANT TO TAKE AWAY FROM VERY BRAVE MEN,BUT WHY DIDN'T THE SPARTANS GO TO THE TOP OF THE PASS AND DROP STUFF ON PERSIANS?G.FRONZI/AUG/28/2010

  • excellent.

  • who wrote the story? homer? herodotus? plutarch?

  • @Rico8458

    Herodotus (Ηρόδοτος)

  • persian the largest arm assembled at that time ?, i think it was the chinese rather except the chinese were peaceful not like the persians.

  • 300,000 men versus 300 men? no way. this is only a tale.

  • @Rico8458 but it was true..

  • @R3d1996 dude no this is a movie idiot 300 vs 30000 cant thats like your god fucking 5million man

  • @dehoerenclub15 well it was an invasion of greece by the persians..and apparently they had millions in fact(at least i think so)...well the point is, the battle did happen, there was a shyit load of persians against 300 spartans who made a last stand and were betrayed by a dude named Ephialtes who gave away their weakness in the field....and the only reason they did last that long is because the narrow pass they fought in made the persians numbers count for nothing...

  • @R3d1996 against 300 choosen Spartiates,with 3x helots or personal slaves, and around 4-5000 other Hellenes acording to Herodotus...

  • @Testosteron250 I've never heard about the slaves, and it was 700 other Hellenes not 4-5 thousand. Trust me, I know.

  • @TrueDynamix you heard of 700 Thespeians...But did you hear about Herodotus who speaks of exact number of other Greeks...Corinthians,Mantinean­s,Thebans,Tegeans,Phocians,Opu­ntan Locrians,Malians,Arcadians of several cities etc etc etc

    No I won't trust you,trust me

  • @Testosteron250 tbh no one can be sure and since your so smart you would know that herodotus wasent exactly the best historian. He added a lot of mythology to his writings

  • @TrueDynamix Not saying I am smart just informed...He is the best we have,and only things he exaggerates are the numbers of enemies(to stress the Greek success)..Everything else(RELEVANT) is either supported by known facts,archaeology,historians etc...There is no reason we should not believe Locrians,Malians,Thebans,Mycen­ians,Corinthians,Tegeans etc...were present,and probably in number given by Herodotus.

    Bottom line,you said there were 700 other Greeks in Thermopyles...I say it's wrong

  • @Testosteron250 tbf both the romans and the pursians where later beat by a gang of thugs called the mongolians so it kinda over shadows this battle altogether

  • @kenoki2010 yah during a period of the european dark ages the mongolians prevailed when the empires were already crumbling lol..

  • @dehoerenclub15 Nope, it's a movie based on a comic or a novel which is based on a real story. This was a real battle in a real war, there are evidences, etc. Any anyways this is not the only battle like this in History. There's the mayans vs Cortéz one where 200 fought against 1 million or something. Armour and fighting style counts(cuz Persians didn't have heavy armor at the time).

  • @Rico8458 spartans are the best trained fighters the world has ever seen.they have no match at face-to-face battle but all together...............man they were unbitable

  • @123456789xrhstos actually ur wrong yeah they were good at fighting in groups but in face to face combat they would problaby win and also the were training to tackle horses so...

  • @123456789xrhstos Spartans were a match because they worked as a single formation, but being a phalanx they could easily be out manouvered by the Roman legions and beaten, strong and fierce but immobile against a cohort.

  • @gunner76111 would you compare SAS to Teuton knights..True Spartan elite died with eartquake in 465 bc,many centuries before Romans,all after is a struggle to keep up that never succeded,only slowly died out...

  • @Testosteron250 I dont know anything really about teuton knights

  • @123456789xrhstos they had several defeats even in their highest power period which ended with persian and tegean wars 480-470..but it sure look like they were even at that time.

  • @Testosteron250 You will enjoy the new book GETTYSBURG... OTHER TIMES. It has an excellent inclusion of the 300 at Thermopylae. Check it out at my YouTube site or search Amazon. Cheers...

  • @Rico8458 no, this was a true story, look it up, "The Battle of Thermopylae" as amazing as is it seems for these 300 men to stand up against 300,000 but the Spartan society was a war devoted society who only accepted the fit to be in their community. It only makes sense that they would stand and fight on the fact that they started training from the age of 7, and no im not pulling this off the movie, I looked it up.

  • @gunner76111 they were more than 300 .You people are dumb everybody saying 300 this 300 that.Yes they were 300 spartans but besides those 300 spartans several thousands greek soldiers fought that battle against the persians .And looking at the battle site you would need not 300 but 100 men to hold that pass against whatever is coming .Is like some 100 guys trying to get into my house and me with my friend holding the dor not letting anybody busting in.

  • @Silenz1oStampa your retarded

  • @Silenz1oStampa I think it was 300 Spartans and 700 other Greeks But i might be wrong.
