u know if it wernt for the athenian navy at thermopyae the 7000 greeks would die in a flash when the athenians held off the 1000 strong persian navy against the 200 strong greek navy in the artamesan straight(forgive me i dot how to spell that word)
@McKunikoS All those nations you called where part of the Persian Empire so they where considered as Persians and not as Egyptians or Indians, Greeks did not fight on the side of the Persians, Maybe Thracians or Macedonians but not Greeks.The Greeks sended a total of 7,400 man but the ancient sources about this say all other numbers also about the Persian invasion forces so thats a bit unclear, i believe it where 7,400 man.
@TheFreshEC They were dressed in the traditional way of their regions and formed indepdent units of the Persian army. Macedonians and Thracians were greek tribes that's why i mentioned them even today both places are part of Greece (unless you believe the FYROM propaganda) and there were also troops from several greek islands in the persian army (mostly navy troops of course). I agree with all the rest ;-)
Athens had the largest fleet of all ancient greece ... athens ruled supreme ! they builed the Pathenon with the money of the other greek towns !! the prof that Athens was supreme .... spartans were brave and all (and I speek as greek that I realy am) ... but athens was far more superior and lasted all the wars ... and now 2 million people live in athens ... if you go to sparta you will find a population of 30 000 people .. farmers and that type of people ... athens was the true power of hellada
@SlipknotPainface in ancient times, sparta powned athens in the pelopenesian war. How the cities are today is irrelevent as Sparta was never a large city to begin with
@SlyDessertFox yes of courese ... but athens was the center os all the greek domains ... and knowlege .
and there army may had been made up out of farmers and blacksmiths and merchants etc but the thruth is that they defeated not only the spartans but the persians to ... so its relative that you say that sparta dominated the greek world because it truly didnt and that i think you must admit ...
@SlipknotPainface First of all I said Sparta destroyed Athens in the peolopenisian war. I never said that Sparta dominated the Greek world. I even said that Sparta was a small city to begin with. The Spartans virtually annihilated Athens at one point. I understand the Spartans had virtually no culture other than their military and that the other Greek city states like the Athenians, the Persians would have crushed the Greeks if it were not for those brave spartan warriors at Thermopylae.
I love it when some noob tried using spartans online.. there all like SPARTA!! and im like MONGOL!! and there like SPAAHHHHGHGHGHH!!... and im like FLAMING PIGS!!
no offense but i hate it when someone buys R:TW and puts like full/max upgraded spartans against millions of peasants or cavalry, and usually puts them by a bridge and sit and watch them pwn some peasants like a retard.
jeez, i'd like to see these "strong" hoplites perform against praetorians
Pure Shit. Tha ain't Thermopylae, and Greece was divided. Where are the Pairs slaves? The 300 spartan soldiers that stayed fought with the Athenians, and when they retread they stayed back. They didn't fought the whole goddam battle alone! Also, they had an equal nunber of slaves in the back of their small army, throwing javelins at the Persians and assisting their masters. Again, this is SHIT
sorry but Spartans DIDN'T fought with the athenians, but with their 5000 greek allies., and after some troops retreated there were not only the 300 but 400 thebans and 700 thespians.(Athenians were
fighting persians in a naval battle at the Aegean).
The greeks had no slaves in the rear, because only FREE men were allowed in the army.
History.....in August 480.bc it has been shown there was just over 7,500 greek troops around 7,200 Hoplite Athenians heavily armored with spears 18 feet long/ and the 300 Spartans with the dory spear only 6 to 9 feet long / a total around 7,500 vs around 250,000.Athens and Sparta hate each other but stand and fight together against this insane number of slaves however it was the 200 Athenians ships defended against 1000 ships at Artemesium that made it possible for the Greeks to make the stand
@Armylady74 yup yup ive been saying the same thing but calling them arcanians dont know why lol athenians thats the one. who were the other greeks that let everybody down by not guarding the pass round the back of the spartan/athenian force? cant remember their nam either
@kreeperrock What's an arcanian? lol. We are called Arcadians dude and we sent at least 2000 men to the battle of Thermopylae, where Athenians did not participate at all. The other Greeks were from areas of Corinth, Argolis and central Greece. I see a lot of misinformation is spread in the West, it's just not right to give all the glory to the 300 Spartans.
@bonehead0816 I know that in the references you can find in English on the internet, the men from Mantinea, Tegea and Orchomenos are mentioned separately from the other Arcadians that were indeed around 1000. However Mantinea, Tegea and Orchomenos are also areas of Arcadia.
@panarkas this is true, although still only 1000 true arcadians, as even though those men were from around arcadia they still were their own people, but either way, the point is there were lots of men fighting, all credit cant go to the spartans
@bonehead0816 True. Another thing we should underline is that the Athenians were the ones with the biggest contribution in the Greek - Persian Wars. All this hype about Sparta gives half-taught people the wrong impression that the Spartans were the ones who beat the Persians and saved Greece.
@panarkas this is true, and also being there were some 30 city states allied with each other at one point, you cant give credit to just a few, and as some had different roles, such as spartans being almost all ground troops, and other cities having large naval power
so gay, everyone is making theese videos against Peasants, fyi, the Spartans (The greeks where over 300), but hey they lost, that shit later on until they rage with tha fleet
Unfortunately, physics91, your battle is based on dramatized movies and fictional accounts. There are multiple inaccuracies with your battle, but that said, thanks for putting the effort in to post this!
i hate things like this. i really do. I'm a history professor. and i like stategy games. and i like rome total war too. that being said....OPEN A HISTORY BOOK PEOPLE the spartans WERE NOT ALONE in the battle of Thermopylae, they FORCED OVER 13000 MORE GREEKS TO JOIN THEM IN BATTLE, the acadians were the next city state over, mind you the most of them ran away after the passage had been found, but needless to say they were far from alone (4000) was the fina troop count BUT HEY lets look at 300
@sasquatchismyfather also, the style of the spartans are off too, during the era when thermopylae happened they were entirely different. including the weponry, they used shorter spears(which name escapes me) and uniforms and helmets were different.
@sasquatchismyfather well,by the way they had onlt 7000 aditionals,so...and anyway to hold the back of the pass leonidas put 1000 thesbians but they ran to they're near by city because they thought the persians were going to attack their city instead of the pass.
I think it's really great that you are learning about history my friend. I'd like to suggest a little more research in the future and maybe even some classes in Western Civ or Ancient History so you don't have so many people picking apart your innacuracies.
Best of luck you, friend, I applaud your interest!
Herodotus says the Hellenes (Spartans, Thebans, helots et al) advanced toward the Persians in the final battle. They didn't passively wait for the persians but decided to die taking the fight to the enemy. I have never seen this depicted in any film or recreation but it should be.
Best way to stimulate a narrow front map is to use a map with a single bridge for crossing... and you may want to use hordes of Eastern Spearmen as well. They re just as horrible but the shields makes them look tougher.
the greek wasn't the only one left... Forgot the romans eh? The persian had taken all eastern countries, but greece kept them back at the mountain passage
nice try , but this is wrong in so many ways . And here the '' Spartans '' are fighting numidians , and they are only fighting peasants and persian infanatry , if you are going to make a vid , please try to make it right ...
@P0difocusin atleast, he is doin something, compared 2 u, ur just commenting, bad things, make ur own vid, and see if u can make it better, then what he did
@armendoza Correct, not only that, but the spears in this vid are not Spartan spears but Macedonian "sarissa" , the Spartan phalanx used short spears, not the ones depicted here. These were used in Alexanders Phalanx.
@armendoza Yeah, listen to Armendoza, he's correct. The length between the sea and the mountains was 100m, there were 5 rows, 60 spartans each. But with them, there were more Greeks -they left when the Persians discovered the passage that led behind the Greek lines only the Spartans stayed, Thespians as well.
@armendoza yeah lol, it was far too easy to get flanked here. But nice vid anyways, I've always wanted to recreate this battle...might buy the game just to do it! lol
@rennekooo It became an empire under Alexander's reign. Before that, it was a collection of colonies throughout the meditteranean and black sea region.
@rennekooo yes it was with proud macedonias (alexander the great) and proud themistokles and leonidas and axilis and odissius and agamemnon ans more important people ......they hold an empire.....
Hehe firstly its one big screwup Spartans didn't use Macedonian style Phlanax but Greek style one ;) short speer's heavier armor no pikelike Sarissa's Second there ware 300 Spartans and 100 thousand of Persian (and alied) or more troops and Third Thermopylae is narrow mountainlike passage not plain ;) rest is perfectly accurate :D And the end-song is Now We Are Free by Lisa Gerrard composed by Hans Zimmer for Soundtrack to Gladiator ;)
Yah i know ;) which is quite funny becous Greek hoplite didn't use this formation until after the Greek states were defeated by Alexander the Great, thats why i use Europa Barbarorum mod for plying RTW ;) And btw yes i know there were more Greek troops then just Spartans at Thermopylae but according to ancient historians they were all dead by the last day of battle when only Spartans still stand.
Actually, according to my University professor, the 300 Spartans ordered the 1500 Greeks to return once the hidden path was told to the Persians. The 1500 Greeks fled while the 300 Spartans stayed to fight. Spartans do not retreat until later.
Yupp i agree ;) much more probable than all of them dieing ;) But from what i know Spartans didn't retreated (maybe and probably the last few tried to run ;) but lest not spoil the legend ;)
then you either misunderstood, or it was mistated...or the person making the statement was wrong. All historical sources agree that there were over 7,000 Greeks at Thermopylae. I was a history major at UCLA. Accorrding to sources, there were over 7,000 Greeks collected from a host of cities. There were that many Greeks killed (at least.
Check out Thermopylae, the battle for the west by Bradford.
There were only 1,500 other greek hoplites, they were retreated after Leonidas found out about the persians knowing the flanking route, about 500 of them stayed behind though.
No, there were 7,300 Greek Hoplites, Read the history instead of making up your own number. Some 2,000 were killed total, the rest ran off when Leonidas gave them the ok to.
"To avoid unnessicary casulties,Leonadas sent the rest of the greek army home,the only ones left,were the three hundred brave spartan warriors from Sparta"
not so. There wree the Spartans and there were other Greeks as well, a total of 2,300. Anyway why are you so lazy? Do some research man, it's writtne in history books, all you have to do is read it!
Omg... Yahoo answers?? That's answers from people like my mom or my house cleaner going on this website and giving whatever answer they can come up with..
Look up the definition or "RELIABLE SOURCE" please
Unlike you guys, we do them in school, while you watch them in movies taken from comics.
It's fine to be a fanboy of a movie but when it comes to actual history, that just doesnt cut it.
We werent talking about fiction here. We werent talking about the movie, but for what ACTUALLY happened. That makes you kinda off-topic dont you think?
Lol a) you're ignorant. I didnt get any info from the movie. I actually hate the movie. Unlike you, i've read the actual ancient texts of the ones who wrote about the battles. Not typed in"wiki".
I told you, there are many more sources about the Thebans. They are even mentioned in Wikipedia.
Apparently you're the one that has to research a bit more.
b) Stop watching too much anime. it's messing with your brain. "Technology".. let me guess. Scud missiles?
The Thebans part is arguable. Even with a source like Wiki, you can see key words like "probably" and "perhaps". There are different sources about them. Others say that some stayed, others say that they fled and others say that they didnt die with the spartans and the thespians but surrended in the end.
You should pick your sources more carefuly. Anyone can read wiki but dont believe that you know it all just because you read it there.
It wasn't just 300 spartans. That is a myth. When the Greeks retreated and left the Spartans, 1,000 Thesbians stayed behind to fight alongside the Spartans. But they all died. And at 1:20--were those the Immortals? The setting was also inacccurate. The only had 200 yards of fighting space, and the aegean sea was right next to them--many fell off into the water and drowned. And then next to the water they were surrounded by mountains. It was a narrow pass, not an open plain.
? I got that straight off wikipedia and my history book...
And who said the 300 spartans is a myth? I said "It wasn't *******JUST********** 300 Spartans. The Thesbians stayed behind with the Spartans. The maker of this video just showed the spartans thank you very much.
this is the most inaccurate thing ever! they fought in the pass of thermopylae which is a tiny passage through the mountains. that's why the spartan falanx kept the persians at bay for 3 days while other greeks gathered their forces.
Sparta declined due to her political inflexibility.That's all.Sparta was not an empire.Sparta was an idea,a way of life,a philosofy of valor and virtue.A legend.That is why her glory is immortal.......
it is not fair to compare spartans with romans.a single legion numbered 6000 men while the whole male spartan population(the citizens-hoplites) never surpassed the 9000 individuals,at the greatest days of the city...In their greatest defeat in Cannae Romans lost almost 80000 men in a day,against an army half their size.and defeats had many.Sparta suffered one single defeat in her history in Leuctra...400 dead Spartan equals(when the number of the citizens was reduced to 3000 men...)
You do realize that Sparta wasn't free it was militant...

Cool effort.
Now, not trying to put you down, but the battlefield is nothing like the Thermopylae.
The real Thermopylae is a narrow coastal passage next to very rocky mountains.

@armendoza Correct, not only that, but the spears in this vid are not Spartan spears but Macedonian "sarissa" , the Spartan phalanx used short spears, not the ones depicted here. These were used in Alexanders Phalanx.
MrSkaramanga 1 year ago
@armendoza Yeah, listen to Armendoza, he's correct. The length between the sea and the mountains was 100m, there were 5 rows, 60 spartans each. But with them, there were more Greeks -they left when the Persians discovered the passage that led behind the Greek lines only the Spartans stayed, Thespians as well.

Hehe firstly its one big screwup Spartans didn't use Macedonian style Phlanax but Greek style one ;) short speer's heavier armor no pikelike Sarissa's Second there ware 300 Spartans and 100 thousand of Persian (and alied) or more troops and Third Thermopylae is narrow mountainlike passage not plain ;) rest is perfectly accurate :D And the end-song is Now We Are Free by Lisa Gerrard composed by Hans Zimmer for Soundtrack to Gladiator ;)

The problem is that rtw is not totaly corect with fighting style, what you see there is the basic falanx all hoplite types use in rtw,
rennekooo 2 years ago
Yah i know ;) which is quite funny becous Greek hoplite didn't use this formation until after the Greek states were defeated by Alexander the Great, thats why i use Europa Barbarorum mod for plying RTW ;) And btw yes i know there were more Greek troops then just Spartans at Thermopylae but according to ancient historians they were all dead by the last day of battle when only Spartans still stand.
kissmyassyoufucks 2 years ago
Actually, according to my University professor, the 300 Spartans ordered the 1500 Greeks to return once the hidden path was told to the Persians. The 1500 Greeks fled while the 300 Spartans stayed to fight. Spartans do not retreat until later.

then you either misunderstood, or it was mistated...or the person making the statement was wrong. All historical sources agree that there were over 7,000 Greeks at Thermopylae. I was a history major at UCLA. Accorrding to sources, there were over 7,000 Greeks collected from a host of cities. There were that many Greeks killed (at least.
Check out Thermopylae, the battle for the west by Bradford.
shitonMOHAMMAD 2 years ago
There were only 1,500 other greek hoplites, they were retreated after Leonidas found out about the persians knowing the flanking route, about 500 of them stayed behind though.

No, there were 7,300 Greek Hoplites, Read the history instead of making up your own number. Some 2,000 were killed total, the rest ran off when Leonidas gave them the ok to.

And c) at the time of the Spartans, there was not ONE single military unit in the world back then, better organized than the spartans.
The greek phalanx was considered the best and most disciplined infantry formantion until perhaps the Roman times.
Let alone the Spartan phalanx

Unlike you guys, we do them in school, while you watch them in movies taken from comics.
It's fine to be a fanboy of a movie but when it comes to actual history, that just doesnt cut it.
We werent talking about fiction here. We werent talking about the movie, but for what ACTUALLY happened. That makes you kinda off-topic dont you think?
KaitoulaGr 2 years ago 2
Lol a) you're ignorant. I didnt get any info from the movie. I actually hate the movie. Unlike you, i've read the actual ancient texts of the ones who wrote about the battles. Not typed in"wiki".
I told you, there are many more sources about the Thebans. They are even mentioned in Wikipedia.
Apparently you're the one that has to research a bit more.
b) Stop watching too much anime. it's messing with your brain. "Technology".. let me guess. Scud missiles?

pes ta re kaitoula. kaitoula is absolutely right
ChrisGr32 2 years ago
The Thebans part is arguable. Even with a source like Wiki, you can see key words like "probably" and "perhaps". There are different sources about them. Others say that some stayed, others say that they fled and others say that they didnt die with the spartans and the thespians but surrended in the end.
You should pick your sources more carefuly. Anyone can read wiki but dont believe that you know it all just because you read it there.
KaitoulaGr 2 years ago
And if Zeus had fought with the spartans they would have conquered Mars.
Saying If they fought there and if that had happened is retarded. No1 knows what would have happened.
If you asked someone before the Persians wars, he'd tell you "if the Greeks fight the Persians, they'll get slaughtered"
And look what happened ;) Assuming stuff is childish

sonicfan5551 2 years ago
It wasn't just 300 spartans. That is a myth. When the Greeks retreated and left the Spartans, 1,000 Thesbians stayed behind to fight alongside the Spartans. But they all died. And at 1:20--were those the Immortals? The setting was also inacccurate. The only had 200 yards of fighting space, and the aegean sea was right next to them--many fell off into the water and drowned. And then next to the water they were surrounded by mountains. It was a narrow pass, not an open plain.
thejesusfreak919 2 years ago
Some research before posting a comment, would be appreciated.
When the other allies retreated there were only 300 spartans and 700 Thespians left behind.
The Thebans had left earlier. Most of them fled when the Persians were about to syrround the allies.
The 300 Spartans isnt a myth. It's just sad that the 700 Thespians that also stood their ground and died are not remembered as well.
KaitoulaGr 2 years ago
? I got that straight off wikipedia and my history book...
And who said the 300 spartans is a myth? I said "It wasn't *******JUST********** 300 Spartans. The Thesbians stayed behind with the Spartans. The maker of this video just showed the spartans thank you very much.

this is the most inaccurate thing ever! they fought in the pass of thermopylae which is a tiny passage through the mountains. that's why the spartan falanx kept the persians at bay for 3 days while other greeks gathered their forces.

it is not fair to compare spartans with romans.a single legion numbered 6000 men while the whole male spartan population(the citizens-hoplites) never surpassed the 9000 individuals,at the greatest days of the city...In their greatest defeat in Cannae Romans lost almost 80000 men in a day,against an army half their size.and defeats had many.Sparta suffered one single defeat in her history in Leuctra...400 dead Spartan equals(when the number of the citizens was reduced to 3000 men...)
