More like 5000 greeks fought 25000 Persian conscripts and then on the final day only the old Spartans with sons stayed and died so the other Greeks could escape.

>what is folklore/mythology

It was 10k Greeks about 1k of which were Spartans vs. 150k-200k trash sand niggers. The Spartans had armour. The movie is based on a comic book not history books, dumb OP.

Yes.

It was because it was it was on a narrow pass and the Spartans were trained soldiers instead of conscripted peasants and nigger mercenaries frim xerses conquered tribes plus they had to fight like ten or fifteen at a time did you even watch the movie

It was based on a comic book that was based on a true event

Op name's Gaylord

It was 10,000 Greeks actually, but yeah 300 Spartans remained at the end and effectively an hero'd by Persian steamrolling.

Don't forget the Thespians. They stayed and fought to the bitter end too.

Wasn't there a former spartan king serving in Xeres' army?..

Wasn't Xerxes a supporter of democracies, while Sparta was a slave state?...

why is there such a campaign to discredit this? id it some iranian nationalist thing.
Its funny because the actual figure was 6-8 million with all the logistical support.

Damn forgot about this one somehow. Been looking for some non pozzed manly kino to watch with my 10 year old son

actually, it was 300 persians and 25,000 greeks.

Calm down Kyriakos

This movie is xenophobic af fr

this a reminda that Leonidas died a KEKLOAD

>greeks are a bunch of camping faggots
play the game right or don't play it all

Persian, and other Eastern, armies were overwhelmingly made up of slaves, to boot. Slaves don't really have the motivation to conquer and struggle in the name of their slavers, and fear and threats of execution only goes so far when they're facing certain death at the hands of the Greeks anyway.
One of the main impediments to Ottoman attempts to conquer the Balkans and Europe historically was that vast swathes of their armies kept basically just laying down their weapons and running away because they were mostly slaves and hated the Ottomans.

The comic is not accurate neither is the movie. But the 300 was real

>Its funny because the actual figure was 6-8 million with all the logistical support.
The world population at the time wasn't even 6-8 million...
Epic cringe, bro.

True. It was actually 10-15 spartans. The rest were home playing sports.

Yeah and? Democracy isn’t good and slavery isn’t bad.

Modern Iranian are mostly just insane Islamic terrorists who think any pre Islamic history is idolatry, so yeah, they don’t give a shit

it was twelve spartans, three persians, and half of a margherita pizza.

The original 300 Spartans is kino.

>"Marry a good man and have many children."

>rushing fag
Going forward without a strategy like brainless monke is the reason why there are no "rushers" at the top of competitive gaming. Cope

Don't forget that this is just stuff written 2,500 years ago by Herodotus who was born 4 years after it happened. We consider to be real because they wrote it and it's all the info we have.

True, figures are likely inflated in favor of the Greeks, as always.

It was the opposite and they fought to remain free instead of kneeling to the god king nigger. What a fucking retard

Neither the fantastical film nor the real tales claim that they won. In fact the whole point was that they lost.

by inflicting so much damage and setting such an example, they inspired the rest of Greece to win the larger war, that's the entire point of the mythology and why the story is repeated. because they did not win

Yes, it's called a Pyrrhic victory.

>father of lies
more like ZEROdotus lmao

Not true at all, Iranians are actually one of the few Muslims who venerate their pre-Islamic history
And why wouldn't they? Persia was a world power for a thousand years before Islam

>And why wouldn't they?
They aren't white so who cares about history or influence?

bait
