So you're telling me 300 spartan soldiers killed 10000000 persians and this ACTUALLY happened in real history?
They got slaughtered op, did you watch the fricking movie?
And the Persian king was an 8ft tall naked black guy wearing a golden diaper and other accessories. Truly a film for the ages.
No
yes because whites > nonwhite smelly turk iranians, poos, and dune coons
>Shitting on the Achaemenid Empire
You make me sad anon. They were pretty cool, all things considered.
Then Alexander wrecked their shit.
>greek
>whites
Are you just pretending to be moronic.
>modern greeks are turk rapebabies
>that means ancient greeks the founders of western civilization were also turk rapebabies
I fricking hate you morons so much
You mean to tell me pic related is not white?

No, it was 300 spartans and about 3-6000 allied greeks. They held an extremely advantageous chokepoint, and they didn't kill 1,000,000 persians, but probably over 10,000.
The idea it was the 300 spartans who did all the work was spartan propaganda, as was the idea that spartans were some kind of super warrior.
Spartans were not super warriors? Are you an Athenian boy-lover by chance?
They were better on average than most greeks, but they weren't able to take on 10-men by themselves.
Persian auxiliaries weren't men.
Pretty much no one could take on 10 men. Much like in ttrpgs real life has action economy too.
The entire point was they were disciplined professional soldiers that operated as a unit. The entire. Fricking. Point.
Except they weren't. Spartans were, like the other greeks, citizen soldiers. They owned farms and then joined the army when called to, buying their own arms and armor.
They trained more often than most greeks true, but they weren't professional soldiers.
The primary difference was the spartans didn't see themselves as "greek", they actively saw themselves as invaders and conquerors of the greeks. So they felt they always had to be ready for an uprising from their greek neighbors and greek slaves.
no greeks were until phillip II, that was the advantage that allowed him to take over everyone else and his son to conquer so much
>no greeks were until phillip II,
Not quite true. Several Greeks had a small unit of professional troops, like the Sacred Band of Thebes. But they were small parts of the army.
Philip just made the core of his army out of professionals.
Also he made them carry
>long spears
True, true.
Thebes is a tragic example because the king died when a mother threw a rock on his head for trying to kill her son
Incorrect. The entire reason they could not range is because they ran off slave labor in order to pursue their martial regiment. They were professional soldiers, I will not play pilpul word games.
City states had actual armies but never actual commradery
Just like today
Then Phillip came and said "stop acting like Black folk, we are taking Persia" and was murdered. And then his son, The Greatest Conqueror of all time, came and said "Well we are still taking Persia despite what happened to my dad".
And then he got murdered.
spartans took on 10 men at once regularly
he meant outside the bedroom tho
gay
It never made any sense that Spartans would insult Athenians for being boy lovers, since Spartan men loved raping kids more than having sex with their wives.
For a time you might as well consider them super warriors. Obviously not when the Romans showed up.
seething athenian
Actually I'm Trojan
B-but my teachers taught me it was 6 million?
I watched a documentary on this about 14 years ago.
They said it was about 300 Spartans plus either 700 or 1,000 Athenians. They killed about 10,000 Persians on each day and doubled it on the 3rd day when they got surrounded (so 40,000 Persians died). Their positioning in that choke and the fact they had a phalanx was the reason why they were so successful the first 2 days.
No, the 300 Spartans were a rear guard that did stay behind at the last day and died while the rest of the force withdrew
>No, it was 300 spartans and about 3-6000 allied greeks
What source are you getting this from? The only one I'm familiar with is Herodotus and I don't think he says that.
it's a comic book adaptation
Even then in film you're supposed to understand it's all embellished and exaggerated since the narrator is the last survivor using the story to rally his army
>So you're telling me this adaption of a comic book re-telling of an historical event ACTUALLY HAPPENED?!
its historical capeshit
No and no, respectively.
why did they imply Xerxes was gay while failing to mention spartan culture included pedastry?
>why did they imply Xerxes was gay
They didn't.
Correct.
>Movie gets universally loved
>Years pass
>It's hated now
What happened?
gets universally loved
You are delusional.
>>It's hated now
By the same people who review bomb The Terminal List because it has an American flag.
I don't get it, so you're saying it wasn't loved, but it isn't hated either?
Its white men killing brown people, of course it is hated now
Nothing happened. This is contrarian troll central to get you to click on threads, outraged, to sell more ad peeps.
It's not really any different from the comment section of places like CNN.
Reminder that Athens did the real heavy lifting in this war.
As most donkeys do in past wars. In the rear with the gear.
Did you miss the part where the Spartans got help along the way?
spartans were a bunch of 5'6" manlets
vikings would absolutely decimate spartans if they existed at same time
nah they fudged their tally by counting the rhino monsters as 100 each, and also took credit for the boats that got wrecked against the cliffs even though they had nothing to do with them.
Far more than 10000000 OP. Easily ten times that. It was a massacre and Persia never recovered. History is filled with stories like this. Many such cases.
This. But there weren't actually 300 spartans. More like 30.
And how many Potters?
Also, OP, we know that it is accurate (not the movie) due to the Persian's record keeping. The Persians were a civilized people with advanced scribes who recorded the battle often for reward purposes.
>So you're telling me 300 ovens killed 60000000 israelites and this ACTUALLY happened in real history?
its real. tom cruise was a samurai in japan and told the last samurai about this battle. cruise doesnt ruse.
Fighting smart works better than fighting hard
Perscucks never conquered Greece and had a massive Empire
And the got beat several times more
Same with turkshits
101 years gaygos
What weird cope. Greeks couldn't even take Constantinople in ww1.
Ye instead marched right outside the capital of roach land and then the Great Powers said wait a minute this is not good for us and funded a fat bald roach
Came to this thread to seethe over Spartan lies but OP was soundly corrected by multiple posters.
I have achieved serenity successfully again for now at least.
