  • Both parts of the 300 Spartans mini-series.
    After their defeat at Marathon, the Persians prepared for retaliation against the Greeks.
    Their second invasion was at a scale, unlike anything the ancient world had ever seen.
    King Leonidas of Sparta together with an elite band of 300 hoplites and a few thousand Greeks attempted to check the invasion at a small pass called "Thermopyles".

    the runner Pheidippides is often overlooked for his achievements....first he ran to sparta to ask them to join athens in battle and then ran back[240km in 2 days] and then he grabbed his armour and ran to the athenien camp [40km], fought in the battle and then he ran back to athens [40km] where there he dies of exhaustion :)

    important to note that while the Spartans and Thebans were fighting Athens was evacuating, and preparing their navy, and a storm destroyed parts of the Persian navy, which would lead to the victory at salamis, and then the combined greek force at Platea when Xerses fleet was gone.

    The Persian numbers to me were so mind-boggling to me growing up.... Then I learned about ancient China and was surprised to learn that armies of 100k-250k were the NORM back then, especially during their Warring states period and carrying forward... China was DEEP even back then, which is so insane to me since the story of the Spartans and their allies fighting such a huge force of Persians was the only event I'd heard of with such numbers growing up... The ancient world was nuts! Imagine all us keyboard warriors of today... We'd all have to be marching to battle back then

    Overall, I'd rate this presentation a B minus. The research appears to have been well done, the computer generated graphics entertaining and pleasing enough, although at times I found them to be a distraction. Where the endeavor suffers is in the narration, which is the same fault I found with with the episodes featuring the battles of Salamis & Plataea. The delivery is hurried and the diction compromised by foreign accents intermittently making the narrators difficult to understand!
    Topographical features could use labeling. Of course, there's not a great need for it in this presentation; the battle at Thermopylae took place in a small, confined space. However, the locations referred to in the episodes of Salamis and Plataea were wide-ranging, yet they aren't identified on the maps. If these presentations are meant to be informative, I recommend a pedagogical approach be applied to their production.

    10000 of Armenians? As a historian, I can assure you that there weren't modern Armenians and Syrians back then. And Armenia and Syria founded as regions during the Roman reign. But if you want to add North Koreans and Russians to the real/ancient Persian "empire" army, then it's your choice, not history.

    The entire story about the 300 Spartans is nothing else but a fairy tale told as an “undeniable historical truth” :) Before being scandalized by my opinion let’s ask some questions: is there any contemporary non-Greek source (Persian, Egyptian, Phoenician, Jewish or Etruscan), which confirms this story? No? Not even 1? All right then: is there any contemporary Greek source about the Battle of Thermopylae? Only 1 - Aeschylus mentions it briefly in his tragedy “The Persians”. It seems the battle didn’t impress much the people living at that time. The ancient Greeks were creating poems, songs and plays mostly about the Mycenaean and about the Minoan age. From their point of view, those were the most glorious times, which deserved to be memorized. Well, which is the first source that tells about the 300 Spartans in such case? 2 generations later “the father of the history” Herodotus creates this legend. Many of his claims (about the Thracians for example) are proven to be wrong by the archaeologists. So the modern historians are very skeptical and don’t trust him as a reliable source. Herodotus himself was inspired by Homer so it seems he was just trying to create a contemporary patriotic version of “The Iliad”. Sometimes some gods appear to help the Greeks in his “Histories” :) In other cases mythical heroes as Heracles or Theseus raise from the dead to fight against the Persians. During the Battle of Thermopylae itself both sides begin to fight for the corpse of Leonidas (a direct copy of the fight for the body of Achilles from the Iliad). All of that is very hard to be believed but of course, the tale that 300 Spartans were fighting against hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of Persians is an “undeniable fact” :) Centuries later, there are other Greek and Latin sources, which practically repeat the version of Herodotus. Now, let’s conclude what is actually undeniable: 1) Most probably, there was a battle at Thermopylae between the ancient Greeks and Persians. 2) If there was such a battle, it was won by the Persians. 3) The battle itself didn’t impress very much the people living at that time (not even the Greeks themselves). 4) Sometime later, a monument dedicated to the victims of the battle was built on the same place. 5) Even if the Persians did win some of the battles, their 2 campaigns in Greece were not more successful than the Caesar’s campaigns in Britain. After all, it was hard for them to transport people and supplies at such long distances especially, if their fleet was destroyed by the windstorms. So for me personally, the tale about the 300 Spartans doesn’t make more sense than the tale about King Arthur and his knights or about Dracula the vampire ;)

Anyway i always heard he ran from the battlefield to Athens 26 km and then died. lol you skew $#it good tho lol
