They beat the Spartans back after hundreds of years of Spartan tyranny. Phillip was trained by them and used their own methods against them. That's how they were beaten. If ancient Greece had any kind of unity amongst it's city states, it's arguable whether homo hating would be such a useful tool for piss poor-statesmen as it is today. Any breeder lobotomy case can hate fags, why do you think it's so popular?
Dude, they were undefeated for 8 years until King Phillip annihilated them. 8 years is pretty damn good. Plus, if you're the guys fighting them, wouldn't you be a little scared that 300 Gay guys are coming right at you. Worst than dying would be to be taken as one of their slaves...what do you think they would do to you??? Yep, you'd better run!!!
This account was substantiated when the communal grave in Chaeronea was excavated in the early 1800's and 254 skeletons were found laid out in seven rows. However the fact of whether all of the warriors died that day or not does not diminish their fighting prowess. I still believe that King Phillip had it right "Perish any man who suspects that these men either did or suffered anything that was base." The Sacred Band of Thebes is a shining example of what determined loving people can do.
But the Sacred Band of Thebes held their ground. They fought till the death. Dead to the last man! When one of Alexander's generals went to inspect the bodies (this guy is straight) he saw them grasping each other's hand. Even at death they were together. So he gained respect for them and shit. He told Alexander of this and a memorial was erected. (No pun intended.)
There has been some debate as to whether or not all of the warriors were killed. Some texts say that only 254 warriors were killed and the rest were wounded.
There were 300 of 'em (that makes 150 monogamous pairs.) Their sexual preference was what made them so HARDCORE. When you're fighting with your loved ones you'll fight till the death for her/him(in this case him.) So the Macedonians under Alexander the great met the Persian Army (and their lackeys) in battle. pero alexander was such a smart-ass he kicked their asses with his killer strategies. The Persian king ran away, his army lost morale and routed.
Do you know the Battle of Chaeronea? The one with Alexander the great and the Persians? Basta yung sa desert. So the Persian king sought help from the rest of the known world. He asked the aid of Egypt. sabi naman ng Egypt 'cge pare we'll give you the 1337(elite) dudes.' So they sent the 'Sacred Band of Thebes.' Sila ung pinaka BATAK.... ANGAS....FEARED...POGI... guys sa Egypt. But they were the most GAY dudes there too. DAMN SON!
Get off your high horses. The Sacred Band of Thebes embodied the martial spirit of Greek culture. Not this frilly mud-wrestling.
