I think there's a misinterpretation of how Leonidas addresses the other Greeks wanting to join them. He isn't mocking them, at the start he says without any pause they are welcome to join them. It's only when he is questioned on the numbers and his commitment to the fight that he shows the true quality of soldiers he's brought with him.
The other reply is an idiot, not worthy of a response, you make a very good point. Armies are not fought exclusively by highly trained warriors, look at both World Wars.
Yeah, I really dislike that they say that. Sure, they were a bit over their heads but still they were willing to lay down their lives for their country. They might have been weak when it comes to skill in battle but their spirits are far from it.
Good point! And you'll notice: Leonidas did not demean or question the everyman-sort that the other Greeks assembled - they were willing to fight despite not being as ready for it. He DID, however, make it clear just how ready the Spartans were. Sort of like "we mean no disrespect... but we are NOT the same".
So Sparta was not a normal city-state like the others in Greece. In Sparta, "citizens" trained to fight from childhood, while the work was done by slaves (helots). The other Greek city-states had a city militia. Of course they weren't as strong as the Spartans because these men were just doing their jobs. Nevertheless, these militias trained regularly and were certainly not weak. But they weren't soldiers like the Spartans.
Actually the Spartans were not professional soldiers either. By law, they were not professional anything. They did train for fitness, but not specifically for soldiering. And the Agogee (training for male Spartiate children) did not include military training (e.g., training in the phalanx), it was a school for indoctrination. Feel free to research it yourself.
@@mikeabberton I called them soldiers because that's what they were called in the movie. I think Warrior would be more appropriate. Of course, it wasn't just combat training and fitness that would be practiced in Sparta. Above all, the willpower would be strengthened and the cold-bloodedness that is needed in war. Furthermore, the Spartans naturally received no pay like soldiers or mercenary. They were all citizens with their own land to live off of.
THANK YOU!!! It was driving me mad, watching all these kids denigrate the Arcadians for not being 'good enough'. It's literally the difference between the regular Army and the National Guard. Both are warriors, but one group was full time, professional soldiers who's ONLY job was war, and the others were citizen soldiers with regular jobs, but who trained to fight for their homes. It's probably the military history geek in me, but people with the above attitude drive me MAD.
@jenscamilo Spartans as "strong willed and cold blooded warriors" is also a trope from entertainment. They were citizens of good physical fitness but ot nearly as capable as professional armies.
Under Xerxes I, the Persian army moved south through Greece on the eastern coast, accompanied by the Persian navy moving parallel to the shore. To reach its destination at Attica, the region controlled by the city-state of Athens, the Persians needed to go through the coastal pass of Thermopylae (or the “Hot Gates,” so known because of nearby sulfur springs). In the late summer of 480 B.C., Leonidas led an army of 6,000 to 7,000 Greeks from many city-states, including 300 Spartans, in an attempt to prevent the Persians from passing through Thermopylae. Leonidas established his army at Thermopylae, expecting that the narrow pass would funnel the Persian army toward his own force. For two days, the Greeks withstood the determined attacks of their far more numerous enemy. Leonidas’ plan worked well at first, but he did not know that there was a route over the mountains to the west of Thermopylae that would allow the enemy to bypass his fortified position along the coast. A local Greek told Xerxes about this other route and led the Persian army across it, enabling them to surround the Greeks. Much of the Greek force retreated rather than face the Persian army. An army of Spartans, Thespians and Thebans remained to fight the Persians. Leonidas and the 300 Spartans with him were all killed, along with most of their remaining allies. The Persians found and beheaded Leonidas’ corpse-an act that was considered to be a grave insult.
This is from AI: My question: "Where was Alexander (...) at 480BC years?" AI answer: "In 480 B.C., Alexander the Great was not yet born. Alexander the Great was born in 356 B.C. and became king of Macedon in 336 B.C. at the age of 20. Therefore, in 480 B.C., Macedon was ruled by his great-grandfather, Alexander I of Macedon, who reigned around 498/497-454 B.C. The events of 480 B.C. were significant in Greek history, as they involved the Persian invasion of Greece led by Xerxes I. However, Alexander the Great was not involved in these events as he was not born yet." My next question: "At which year Alexander defeated Persia as revenge?" AI answer: "Alexander the Great's Persian conquest began in 334 BC, when he led his army across the Hellespont, marking the start of his campaign against the Persian Empire. The first major confrontation came at the Battle of Granicus, where Alexander’s forces clashed with the Persian army led by King Darius III. Despite being outnumbered, Alexander’s troops emerged victorious, securing a foothold in Asia Minor. Over the next few years, Alexander continued his conquest of the Persian Empire, defeating Darius III’s troops at Issus in November 333 BCE and eventually capturing key cities such as Persepolis. By 330 BC, Alexander had largely conquered the Persian Empire, and by the time of his death in 323 BC, his empire stretched from Greece to India."
The scene they are referencing in each of these clips always gave me the "We are Legion." attitude when Leonidas asks what the Spartan's profession is.
this scene is so epic and so reliable..... the University of the Michigan State Spartans (College Football) use this scene for every Homegame to get the Crowd and the Team into the right Mood😍
This is why we would appreciate a little more respect from women who have been led astray nowadays.We're not "toxic",we love you & will kill & or die to protect the ones we love,it's very simple;) There's not a man I know that would'nt defend his family to the death if it came down to it,not one!
338 BC, Philip II crushed in Chaeriona the southern Greek cities. Sparta did not participate in the conflict. After his victory, Philip sent a message to the Spartans to submit, telling them that: “If I win this war, you will become slaves forever.” The Spartans replied to the would-be invader only one word: “If...”. Philip, impressed by the intransigence and determination of the Spartans, backed out
It is true that all male Spartans were full time soldiers. But it begs the question who did the work in Sparta? Who farmed the crops, worked the mines, forged the weapons etc? The answer is slaves. The Spartans enslaved a whole people named the Helots. And would periodically attack the Helots to keep them afraid of the Spartans. Which makes the Spartans fight for “Freedom” ring pretty hollow.
I'm sure the historical Spartans never thought of "freedom" as the reason to fight Xerxes, and anyway the modern concept of freedom is not the same as the one Greeks held 2500 years ago. Is not honest to try and equate Hollywood entertainment with historical facts.
They are disrespectful to those men. Sure they are weaker than Spartans in combat but they are willing to fight nonetheless. That makes them strong as any.
1:05 what do they wear? In reality Spartans wore chest armor. Also I was told they probably didn't have washboard abs. A little fat around the belly was actually prefered.
They were actually lean and athletic, lean but strong muscles built for endurance, not explosive power. But they had the mentality to keep on fighting.
I love the ladies reactions. Though a movie…it is a good representation of how fierce and deadly a man can be when needed. The word “Samurai” Means to be dangerous…in order to serve.
Yeah, it's a recurring problem with how a lot (not all, mind you) of "modern" women will talk out one side of their mouths when it comes to their own privilege, but will happily embrace toxic masculinity when it suits them.
there were some 7000 greeks at that battle, if i remember my history lessons. also, someone needs to inform the spartans about the theban sacred band. because hau hau hau didn't hold water with them.

Men, what is your profession? Well, if you ask me so directly. To protect and keep life going, simply by doing what is good for life. Pottery, blacksmithing, sculpting, building, painting, wallpapering, drilling for oil, extracting and refining mineral resources, building houses, catching fish, chasing away bears and wolves, building castles, tilling the fields, milking the cattle, protecting my world from socialists and not harming anyone who doesn't dispute my freedom to act in the interests of life. Just the things you do as a responsible adult. Do you have any other stupid questions?
I still wouldn't underestimate the army of ɓlacksmiths, potters and sculptors. An army of men whom volunteer to fight is by far more dangerous than a conscripted army.
What are you talking about? Technique, tactic, training, war-knowledge,… 3000 men running around without a plan will do damage, but won’t win from 300 men that know what they’re doing. They would go in formation and pick them out one by one. If I’m ever being held captive, I would rather have 10 navy seals coming to save me, than 100 people willing to save me.
I think you guys should ask the Brittish commanders in 1776 about unorganized militias. "They're nothing but farmers with pitchforks." Was the most common reply to such people. There is no more truly deadly person in the known universe, than a man defending his home.
@ the Brit’s didn’t care about America as much as you think, their best commanders and armies were spread around the world, they were colonizing the entire world and started to realise they couldn’t handle it all and left America for what it was as they rebelled and actually helped the Brits, as the French came to help, so those same French wouldn’t be in their way somewhere else. Funny how you didn’t mention the French armies that came to help those farmers… Nobody is saying numbers aren’t important, but quality is far more important, that’s all. If it’s numbers you want to use as an example, ww2 and how that war was won in Russia and that by using numbers over quality, would have been more adequate. And lastly, back in spartan times, wars were with spears and swords, not guns. Tactics are much more important in close combat. But I won’t change your mind and you won’t change mine. I hope for you, you ever get to see a professional in his work (I don’t mean in a war, just in any matter) and realise what a trained person in his profession is, compared to a bunch of amateurs.
It saddens me to realize how people don’t understand the difference between movies and documentaries. The movie never claimed to be a true representation of history, it actually says it’s based on the graphic novel 300, which in its turn is based on the battle of Thermopylae but never claimed to be the true version of what happened. But, yeah, tell us how they are wrong and you know better, lol. If you want to correct facts, get yours straight first. And btw, Spartans and other Greeks also wouldn’t be speaking English, if it’s “mistakes” you want to point out.
2 Esdras 7:75 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 ///////////////
Of course, under Spartan law, Spartan citizens could not have professions; those were for the helots (slaves). Thus a Spartan's "profession" was Citizen of Sparta.
No self-respecting Spartan would enter battle without their armor. Why are these men running around naked? They look more like gladiators than soldiers.
The Spartans are Israel, Israelites what do you think? Leonidas got his idea from from the Israelites from Giveon and is 300 that was hope to defeat Persian empire.
this is todays equivalent of marines( spartants)vs army(arcadians) because we as marines are always infantrymen men first then our mos is 2nd so we are always combat ready. thats why a lot of people refer to us as the modern day spartans because we practice/believe the same codes they did. no retreat or surrender. the army is the opposite and i know this first hand because after my 4 years in the marines i tried a year in the army and got out after finding out for myself how much of a joke it is lol
It saddens me to realize how wrong this movie is but Spartans were badass first he was absolutely officially their as a spartan army 1000 strong with like 3000 other Greeks from smaller city states and they would have looked nothing like that sparta was given the honor of leading all the forces still no definite reason as to why only 1000 but it’s not far off to think Spartans would bash other Greeks for not truly being warriors to the fullest and mocking them in real war 😂300 comes from a reference of the pits they dug to hinder the Persians no idea where that comes from/ it would have been a seige in the wall they built if they stood in-front not on top or behind they just would have been crushed also the cavalry never engaged in reality you don’t charge horses at spears in any situation it’s a movie thing they weren’t running around a thin cliff edge directly into spears they just didn’t use them 😂

@ the Brit’s didn’t care about America as much as you think, their best commanders and armies were spread around the world, they were colonizing the entire world and started to realise they couldn’t handle it all and left America for what it was as they rebelled and actually helped the Brits, as the French came to help, so those same French wouldn’t be in their way somewhere else. Funny how you didn’t mention the French armies that came to help those farmers…
Nobody is saying numbers aren’t important, but quality is far more important, that’s all.
If it’s numbers you want to use as an example, ww2 and how that war was won in Russia and that by using numbers over quality, would have been more adequate.
And lastly, back in spartan times, wars were with spears and swords, not guns. Tactics are much more important in close combat.
But I won’t change your mind and you won’t change mine.
I hope for you, you ever get to see a professional in his work (I don’t mean in a war, just in any matter) and realise what a trained person in his profession is, compared to a bunch of amateurs.
you need a boost for the week? this is my go to scene.
Of course, at the end of the sequel, you see him on a ship leading into battle!
Not sure which, but like the fight in the shade line is recorded way back like some few hundred years after the event.
The dudes were civilians but still wanted to figth side by side whit the spartans
It’s funny how flustered the women get from all the testosterone and masculinity in this film
"Talk about Hot Gates" lol
AIRBOURNE! Who are We!
skilled and trained means everything
It saddens me to realize how people don’t understand the difference between movies and documentaries. The movie never claimed to be a true representation of history, it actually says it’s based on the graphic novel 300, which in its turn is based on the battle of Thermopylae but never claimed to be the true version of what happened. But, yeah, tell us how they are wrong and you know better, lol. If you want to correct facts, get yours straight first. And btw, Spartans and other Greeks also wouldn’t be speaking English, if it’s “mistakes” you want to point out.
One of the coldest lines in movie history
George(the the asian reactor)is so jealous LOL
3:40 my boy high as f@$#
Every time I see this film I want to play AC Odyssey with Kassandra ^^
At least potter is famous ! Harry was a Potter too !!! 😏
SPARTANS WERE THE WARRIORS!!!!!!
Only takes one to change something.
Nothing, later Alexander will avenge Greece and Sparta, destroy the Persian Empire, and it will never be the same again.
Girls: 😐
Boys: 🤩
The other greek armywas of civilians according to movie. In real history they were warriors from all other power cities
City-states... and compared to Sparta, they were no better than weekend warriors.
2 Esdras 7:75
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75

Ight for real Id like to see Leonaidas whip up some pottery from scratch
I'd like to see that pottery face thousands of Persian Immortals on the beach.
Mic-drop moment.
2:06 but, is he a hairy potter?
Sparta in this Movie: "ABANDON REASON, KNOW ONLY WAR!!!"
A bit too much crystal
Of course, under Spartan law, Spartan citizens could not have professions; those were for the helots (slaves). Thus a Spartan's "profession" was Citizen of Sparta.
Started training at age 7
Not Colette Cherry LEAVE HER ALONE
2007*
crap, i thought this was the funny pronouns stuff LOL was expecting one of them twinkie to say "im a they/them"
No self-respecting Spartan would enter battle without their armor. Why are these men running around naked? They look more like gladiators than soldiers.
Blame Frank Miller for the design. :)
@@JnEricsonx I mean if you wanted to make a movie about naked men fighting in a war, you could always do a movie on the celtic warriors.
@@mdmyer Somewhere my relatives in Galway just punched the air.
In ancient Greece, they also held the early Olympic games in the nude.
Jealous much?
doin English content with this English is fools courage
Awesome video.
First girl: 😩💦
The Spartans are Israel, Israelites what do you think? Leonidas got his idea from from the Israelites from Giveon and is 300 that was hope to defeat Persian empire.
this is todays equivalent of marines( spartants)vs army(arcadians) because we as marines are always infantrymen men first then our mos is 2nd so we are always combat ready. thats why a lot of people refer to us as the modern day spartans because we practice/believe the same codes they did. no retreat or surrender. the army is the opposite and i know this first hand because after my 4 years in the marines i tried a year in the army and got out after finding out for myself how much of a joke it is lol
4 years in the marines and one year as a weekend warrior stuck at e-3? My brother the joke is you
Oleme el dedo
So they're football fans
cringe
This shit is very very racist!
How?
Stop being childish.
@JesusProtects because i am Iranian and this shit offense me.
You are offended by something that happened over 2,400 years ago? Then don't watch it. @@محمدداودی-ر6ه
@@محمدداودی-ر6ه It’s propaganda within the movie. One of their own is telling the story to his own spartan brothers.
It saddens me to realize how wrong this movie is but Spartans were badass first he was absolutely officially their as a spartan army 1000 strong with like 3000 other Greeks from smaller city states and they would have looked nothing like that sparta was given the honor of leading all the forces still no definite reason as to why only 1000 but it’s not far off to think Spartans would bash other Greeks for not truly being warriors to the fullest and mocking them in real war 😂300 comes from a reference of the pits they dug to hinder the Persians no idea where that comes from/ it would have been a seige in the wall they built if they stood in-front not on top or behind they just would have been crushed also the cavalry never engaged in reality you don’t charge horses at spears in any situation it’s a movie thing they weren’t running around a thin cliff edge directly into spears they just didn’t use them 😂
