The Persians were appalled by the Spartan barbarism after discovering that envoys had been killed. They even refused the to kill the Spartans that were in their court so as to not stoop so low as them. But apparently the Persians were the bad guys.
The Spartans weren’t even native to their land they were running a massive slave colony ruled by elite slave masters. Greek cities under Persian control preferred living under them than barbarous greekoids.
>weren't even native to their land
c'mon. when we play this game, nobody is native to anywhere. the Persians came out of central asia - were the Achaemenids thus "not native?"
>The Spartans weren’t even native to their land they were running a massive slave colony ruled by elite slave masters.
True >Greek cities under Persian control preferred living under them than barbarous greekoids.
Absolute bullshit. The entire Greco-Persian conflict started over the Ionian City-States revolting against Persian rule. Athens played a key part in fomenting those revolts, but that would not have been possible had the Ionians actually preferred Persian rule.
Frick off Iranian b***h, how are you still salty thousands of years later?
You invaded, we resisted, we conquered you and lost interest.
End of the story.

Iranians are like Panjeets they eternally seethe about battles they lost 1000 years ago
They haven’t won a battle since the Arabs buck broke them, and have been ruled by foreign conquerors since
>Greek cities under Persian control preferred living under them than barbarous greekoids.
Is that why they revolted and Darius the Cuck had to try and subdue the revolts?
>focused on
I gotta say as cool and badass as the movie makes them look
The entire baby tossing wolf fighting thing at the start depicts them as fricking nuts
It's fiction/propaganda/whatever you can say anything, and they consciously went out of their way to choose to make them look fricking nuts
It's like Warhammer or Dredd where the biggest psychotic buttholes in all of fiction are still the good guys

The Persians were invaders while the Spartans were just defending themselves.
The Spartans weren’t even native to their land they were running a massive slave colony ruled by elite slave masters. Greek cities under Persian control preferred living under them than barbarous greekoids.

Except it was a crucial part of the Spartan identity that they were foreign occupiers.

>yeah glowathenians subverted you but ionian colonies totally wanted it
This. The New Aegean Treaty Organization was at fault.
Because you were there right?

The Spartans were about to join an anti-Persian strategic defensive alliance, they had it coming
it isn't a war crime if you win
But they lost
win what?
Win at being cooler
what are some movies that fairly depict the Persians as the enlightened and just empires that they were irl?
Prince of Persia
says who?
Herodotus
Persians were insulting Hellenes by sending a Nubian as a diplomat.
Basically, both sides asking for it.
Getting kicked into a bottomless pit is far too kind a fate for any diplomat.
They didn't have war crimes especially since both sides would have to agree and Greeks and Persians rarely agreed on anything.
The only thing Greeks and Persians would agree was a war crime would be denying a twink olive oil.
Tell me about it, our heroes everyone!
>moves behind him and cuts his head off from behind
he's fine
it was just a sick prank
did spartans really walk around in loin cloths and huge capes?
the loin cloth was optional
That always bugged me about a movie that's focused on Greek heroism, but I chalked it up to 'it looked cool and gave them their tagline'.

No shit moron, it’s a story told by a Spartan messenger
Reading about Alexander the Great now. Shit was wild back in the day.
oh? whats so wild about it?
A few thousand years too early for Geneva.
Sloppy push kick, a 110 lbs thai fighter would heem him
>he brought the skulls of past kings to his city steps
>he insulted his queen
>he threatened his people with slavery and death
This homie deserved it.
Why poison your drinking water with Persian rotting corpses?
