  • right to all your retards who think they are macedon, look up on your history, the spartants used that symbol on their shields, not the macedons. thats just some bullshit the total war series put in, dont believe everything a game does, the unit i used is a mod, which a designer made, i downloaded it to be used in this movie, cos its the most accurate account of a spartan

  • while i was whatching this video i was feeling very proud of my country...GREECE... now my country is ready to go bankrupt but these that are happened in Thermopyai, Marathon etc. make every Greek proud .... [GREECE SHOW WHAT YOU CAN ACHIVE, TO THESE WHO WANT YOU AS A SLAVE - COUNRTY.. YOU CAN DO IT... DO IT LIKE IN PAST!!!]

  • @siyco90 tbh the Spartans actual used animals painted on their shields. One spartan painted a fly on his shield and someone asked him why. He said when the enemy is close that that fly will appear to be a lion and he will fear it. (history channel)

  • @Allforthelaughs Common version? is it more common than Herodotus' account?

  • 31 persians do not like this video :D

  • @RTotalwar2011 Ah! Actually, the common version of the story is that they were not defending the second pass for the Persains didn't know about it until a traitor told them for money.

  • @Allforthelaughs

    Why do you say that? Spartans where flanked. They where defending two passes, but the 1,000 greeks that leonidas put in the second pass ran as the inmortals had the way discovered.

  • @RTotalwar2011 yes, i understand, i realize that i didnt word that quite correctly. I meant to say the chose the narrowness of the pass so they would not be flanked.

  • @Allforthelaughs

    First: The Spartans fought in a battle formation called phallanx. This was when the spartans put the spears in front of the enemy, and when a persian arrived he was not fighting one man, but a great number of spears. Second: The Spartans and allied forces had enough soldiers (~5000) to make a line strong enough to keep the persians away for three days.

  • what's the 2nd song called?

  • @RTotalwar2011 No i believe this is rather accurate, you see the spartans only held on so long because they limited fighting the persians to a man-to-man style of fight, which was the forte of the spartans, who were much stonger one-on-one. Otherwise if the pass were mile(s) wide then the Spartans would have been succombed easily by being out numbered N (lots, or copeous) to 1
