    This concludes the 300 series of videos, I may do another on the second movie at a later stage. Let me know what other ancient times movie you would like to see a video of. I am already working on a few scenes from Troy.

      @@MrChatsarecool For sure, I'm actually working on Troy at the moment as well as one Avengers scene focusing on Hulk, but Gladiator 1 and 2 are on my list. Love those type of movies, but alas, I need to get to other stuff as well, busy with some superhero stuff and some current times action videos like Taken as well. Lots to get to.

    12:33 Back then Sparta had 2 kings; one was in charge of the army, the other in charge of the administration on Sparta - one went to war leading the army, the other stayed back to run Sparta. If I'm not mistaken every couple of years or so they switched roles. Leonidas was an old man in his 60's and he was still piling enemy bodies at his feet. The last day of the battle he was killed and the enemy tried to take his body, but the surviving Spartans fought like devils and got his body back. The last group of the Spartans protecting his body were killed with arrows because the Persians were so friggin' scared to get close. There was a Spartan law that forbid a Spartan to show his back to his enemies and this law was engrained into them from childhood - so running away from a fight was not allowed or even considered.
    Also the Athenians were pretty dang good at war too; If Sparta was 100%, Athens was 99% and the Athenian army was larger.

      @WeWatchTheWatchers  Місяць тому +6

      I suppose if you have a 2 king system, you could afford leading the army from the front without risking total breakdown of government if he gets killed. They had some nifty ideas, those Greeks

      Yeah the Spartans were only a small part of a Greek army of several thousand. Once the Persians found the path to flank the Greeks the Spartans volunteered to a rear guard action to buy time for thd rest of the army to escape and fight agajn.

Make them feel that a true patriot have to honour and behave like his ancient ansestors. In other words, this is why the Greeks are soo "greeks"! ❤😊

They give opinions and show emotion, people are interested in discussing the reactions of the reactors, I think. I always try to be respectful to the reactors, this is not a channel to insult them. So I give commentary on the movie as well as on the reactors and invite my fellow watchers (you) to share their thoughts as well.

    The Athenian general Themistocles had the idea of holding the Persians both in land in hotgates and in sea at artemisium. The Athenians sent all their army in the ships to fight, that's why they were no Athenians in hotgates. The Spartans were supposed to send all their forces to hotgates, but at last minute they decided to defend Sparta at Corinth and let Athens burn by the Persian army because of hate against Athenians. Leonidas was a man of his word and took his bodyguards with him to hotgates, forcing (with his death) the rest of Sparta to join the Greek defence as one army under a foreign enemy

    Side note... Historically, the Persians actually were the Bastians of liberty at the time.. the Greeks were very elitist and Greek centered. To partake in and benefits you had to be Greek.. but the /Medes/Persians would essentially let you continue as you were, so long as you paid the tax.
    The Greeks would subjegate you to their lifestyle. The medo Persian just said pay up, and do what you want.

    • @WeWatchTheWatchers
      @WeWatchTheWatchers  Місяць тому +3

      You didn't just have to be Greek, they had class systems within their own societies. Only the upper classes were allowed to go to the Agoge and become Spartans, for example. They were very classist. However, one should always be careful of presentism. Judging people who lived thousands of years ago by today's morals is considered an error.
      Moreover, these videos focus more on the movie 300, based on the Miller's graphic novel. As you say, "side note" Exactly, the historical accuracy and relevance is just that when looking at a movie like this, a side note, many people don't like it, I understand why, they want movies to be historically accurate, but they never are.
      So I just try to focus on the movie as a work of fiction and only reference the actual historical accuracy as a side note and point of interest, not as a lens through which to criticize or judge the movie.

      At 480 b.c Persia was a huge empire. Greece was a small country. Yet the Parthenon was allready build. The arts and philosophy were at their best. Democracy was been bormed at that time. Our army was really strong. We didn't need any god-king up on our heads. When you got Socrates, Plato and Aristotle you don't need anyone to show you the "path". And definitely you don't need anyone to tax your money. Imao.❤😂 13:04
