Those that have been in the military know we sing a cadence during many runs and marches, usually led by one of the senior NCOs. My term was no different, and one morning in Fort Benning, Georgia we had reached our objective a bit early, so we stopped to rest and were quiet, just catching our breath and taking some water. The sun was just coming up, we could begin to see our surroundings. The valleys were still enveloped in a light mist that would soon burn off, but we could hear the cadence of other units on their runs or marches, and it echoed through the hills. Hundreds of boots striking the ground at the same time made a low rumble. It was quite inspiring, and the feeling I had at the time was a bit of mystery and awe, hearing but not seeing, these units of soldiers moving about the grounds. You could not tell where the sound was coming from, it was echoing through the hills. It was a bit like hearing the deep sounds from the beginning of the Jaws soundtrack. Dexter, the sound of those Spartans would absolutely give me the chills.
You need to read about these dimwits and how they really were. Big into infanticide,slavery and pedarasty. Real "Heroes".....Whose empire got destroyed anyway....
"What is your profession?" "Im currently taking an off year, ya know, to really get to know myself. Strolled through the countryside and found these guys marching so i thought what the heck."
Without being career soldiers, a potter, a sculptor and a blacksmith took up arms and marched to their likely deaths in defense of their country. Their profession didn't matter, their hearts did. The wives, sons and daughters knew that these men would become warriors when the time would call for it and they did.
Leonidas' point is that he still brought more actual trained soldiers. I fully agree that those potters, sculptors, blacksmiths and other normal men were awesome for marching out to battle. But Leonidas wasn't arguing against that. The other Greeks were giving Leonidas a hard time about bringing less men to the war, and Leonidas pointed out that he brought more ACTUAL WARRIORS who had been fully trained to fight. Quality over Quantity; a few hundred war-trained badasses are more reliable for battle than thousands of average joes who have just been given weapons.
@@mrreyes5004 don't worry, I understood the scene exactly like you did, I was only waxing poetic about the less capable soldiers' sacrifice. See, they were probably scared, not being career soldiers and all that.
1.5%. There are 10,000 Spartan men and assume the women population is the same if not higher because Spartan men die young. It is only 1.5% of their population.
@@cabbagedestroyer1693 The commonly cited number (See Buiry and Meiggs) of the *total* spartan *male* population during this era is 5000. To number the *entire* Spartan population to be over 10,000 during this era is ridiculous. At any rate, 300 is still 6% of 5000.

In the case of war civilians stand back and let soldiers do their job. In the case of a fire everybody else stands back and lets the firemen do their job
Yes, I totally get it, and that's understandable that this video reminded you of a false flag terrorist scheme. This video also reminds me of a moment when we were losing 3-1 because everyone wanted to score, so we soon realised that it's best if certain people play their positions as they should, ie. defenders should stay somewhat back, midfielders should kind try and stay in the midfield etc. Obviously you gonna have moments where a defender will find himself infront and vice verca but we tried to avoid this after watching this video, and it helped us not only maintaining our positions, but also managing fatigue, and we ended up winning the match.

This always gets me jacked up! It’s like a love letter too manhood. There’s something so romantic about war, it’s like the highest level sport one can play. And these guys…they were the greats.
One of the few accurate parts of this movie: Leonidas did say this to his fellow Greeks when he met them on the trail. The leader of the other Greeks (Arcadians, Mycenaeans, Corinthians, Tegeans, Mantinaeans, and others) was actually an architect. However, in addition to the 300 full Spartiate hoplites, the Spartans also brought "squires" and a small number of support: Surgeons, medics, cooks, priests and so on. The total number of Lakedaemonians, including Spartans, was at least 700. The "squires" carried extra battle gear, helped their Spartans prepare, and were responsible for getting replacement spears to the Spartan warriors in the battle line, as the spears were the primary (and most deadly) weapon in phalanx combat. The xyphos short sword was more of a last resort, especially if the line was broken. I highly recommend reading Gates of Fire to anyone who wants to know what the Spartans were really like and what drove them to make the sacrifice at Thermopylae.
@@Zach-lv5qs There were only 300 actual Spartans, and Leonidas only took men who already had children so their family lines would not be ended, because he knew it was a suicide mission. In addition to the 300 Spartan Peers, there were 300 or 400 other Lakedaemonians, including Messenian helots and perioikoi, which literally means "people around" Sparta. They were support, smiths, surgeons, cooks, etc. And there were a few thousand other Greeks from the cities I mentioned in my first post. So in total, about 4,000 to 7,000 Greeks vs about 300,000 Persians. The movie does a poor job of showing how they actually fought and held the pass. They did it by maintaining the phalanx formation the entire time in the narrow passage, so the Persians couldn't flank them or get past them. The only thing the Persians could do was throw more men at them, and those men were brave warriors but they were not properly trained or armored for that kind of brutal close quarters combat. In Gates of Fire, the Spartans are described as exhausted from killing so many Persians. They rotated with the other Greeks and killed something like 50,000 of the enemy in 3 days. It was insane.
@@GozerTheGozerian thanks very much for sharing this. Would you agree with the general view the public has nowadays on Sparta (society mostly focused on military) or do you think it’s a bit overstated? Does Gates of Fire talk about this? Much appreciated.
@@IWantThatKey Agesilaus was king during the post-Pelopponesian War period of Spartan hegemony, not during the Battle of Thermopylae. That's almost 100 years later.
The double flute was one of the first abstract Olympic events. At the field member cities pooled resources so a special gallery could be built, one designed specifically to resonate in harmony with notes played correctly on those very flutes. Judges were stationed around the gallery at very precise geometric positions where only the true note would be heard clearly. Those flutes were taken very seriously. Some were also fashioned with sharpened tips or made of metals intended for swords and shields. They could be, and were on occasion, used as weapons in actual combat. Some of the finest greek flute players had olympic nicknames that translate to things like "eye-gouger". These were skilled artists whose souls swelled with bounties of beautiful music. And some were also so good at war they proudly fought and won with their flutes. My brother played clarinet and beat one kid with it once. I think it might go without saying greek floutists were perhaps the most death metal of all flute players, ever. And to think, when most schools teach greek history its all togas and columns and rhetoric. Nobody mentions murder floutists winning laurels for perfect pitch while wearing thousand yard stares.
I'm a martial artist that's done a lot of full contact fighting often with no protection, and one common trait that we have is "don't fuck with the male ballerinas". Seriously, those guys are built like Olympic athletes. Any mugger that tries to mug a male ballerina on the street is going down, and that's no joke.

Even though the movie is vastly exaggerated this is one of my favorite scenes because it's heavily accurate. Honestly I could tolerate the creatures and bizarre encounters from the Persian army what honestly annoys me is the Spartans not wearing armor lol

This video also reminds me of a moment when we were losing 3-1 because everyone wanted to score, so we soon realised that it's best if certain people play their positions as they should, ie. defenders should stay somewhat back, midfielders should kind try and stay in the midfield etc. Obviously you gonna have moments where a defender will find himself infront and vice verca but we tried to avoid this after watching this video, and it helped us not only maintaining our positions, but also managing fatigue, and we ended up winning the match.
"What is your profession?"
"I'm a liberal arts major, so I'm unemployed."
I'm not even kidding and I'm not even getting political or what cause no interest but I swear, liberal arts is the most useless degree I have ever seen which has no use in the real world. Doesn't really put food on the table, pay the bills or an roof over your head.
Are you a student? A fuck ton of jobs don't require a specific degree, they just want to know you have a degree to ascertain whether you can read, write, speak and put your head down and work.

So much work to do a movie like this. Wow. Thanks for uploading.
Such an iconic moment.
One of the few accurate parts of this movie: Leonidas did say this to his fellow Greeks when he met them on the trail. The leader of the other Greeks (Arcadians, Mycenaeans, Corinthians, Tegeans, Mantinaeans, and others) was actually an architect. However, in addition to the 300 full Spartiate hoplites, the Spartans also brought "squires" and a small number of support: Surgeons, medics, cooks, priests and so on. The total number of Lakedaemonians, including Spartans, was at least 700. The "squires" carried extra battle gear, helped their Spartans prepare, and were responsible for getting replacement spears to the Spartan warriors in the battle line, as the spears were the primary (and most deadly) weapon in phalanx combat. The xyphos short sword was more of a last resort, especially if the line was broken. I highly recommend reading Gates of Fire to anyone who wants to know what the Spartans were really like and what drove them to make the sacrifice at Thermopylae.
Weren't there more than 300 that marched out? It was 300 that stayed and died, correct?
@@Zach-lv5qs There were only 300 actual Spartans, and Leonidas only took men who already had children so their family lines would not be ended, because he knew it was a suicide mission. In addition to the 300 Spartan Peers, there were 300 or 400 other Lakedaemonians, including Messenian helots and perioikoi, which literally means "people around" Sparta. They were support, smiths, surgeons, cooks, etc. And there were a few thousand other Greeks from the cities I mentioned in my first post.
So in total, about 4,000 to 7,000 Greeks vs about 300,000 Persians. The movie does a poor job of showing how they actually fought and held the pass. They did it by maintaining the phalanx formation the entire time in the narrow passage, so the Persians couldn't flank them or get past them. The only thing the Persians could do was throw more men at them, and those men were brave warriors but they were not properly trained or armored for that kind of brutal close quarters combat. In Gates of Fire, the Spartans are described as exhausted from killing so many Persians. They rotated with the other Greeks and killed something like 50,000 of the enemy in 3 days. It was insane.
@@GozerTheGozerian thanks very much for sharing this. Would you agree with the general view the public has nowadays on Sparta (society mostly focused on military) or do you think it’s a bit overstated? Does Gates of Fire talk about this? Much appreciated.
Thanks. Just ordered it on audible
@@IWantThatKey Agesilaus was king during the post-Pelopponesian War period of Spartan hegemony, not during the Battle of Thermopylae. That's almost 100 years later.
Imagine picking a fight with a flute player, they take off their shirt and they completely shredded
When you're so ripped you gotta march while playing 2 flutes to have a challenge.
The double flute was one of the first abstract Olympic events. At the field member cities pooled resources so a special gallery could be built, one designed specifically to resonate in harmony with notes played correctly on those very flutes. Judges were stationed around the gallery at very precise geometric positions where only the true note would be heard clearly.
Those flutes were taken very seriously. Some were also fashioned with sharpened tips or made of metals intended for swords and shields. They could be, and were on occasion, used as weapons in actual combat. Some of the finest greek flute players had olympic nicknames that translate to things like "eye-gouger". These were skilled artists whose souls swelled with bounties of beautiful music. And some were also so good at war they proudly fought and won with their flutes. My brother played clarinet and beat one kid with it once. I think it might go without saying greek floutists were perhaps the most death metal of all flute players, ever.
And to think, when most schools teach greek history its all togas and columns and rhetoric. Nobody mentions murder floutists winning laurels for perfect pitch while wearing thousand yard stares.
This is what it is too master souls games all you need is the 2 flute system your golden
And he had TWO FLUTES TOO !!!
I'm a martial artist that's done a lot of full contact fighting often with no protection, and one common trait that we have is "don't fuck with the male ballerinas". Seriously, those guys are built like Olympic athletes. Any mugger that tries to mug a male ballerina on the street is going down, and that's no joke.

Even though the movie is vastly exaggerated this is one of my favorite scenes because it's heavily accurate. Honestly I could tolerate the creatures and bizarre encounters from the Persian army what honestly annoys me is the Spartans not wearing armor lol
