@arash pahlevan I like movies which incorporate a little art, amongst extreme violence just makes it a little more interesting. Sadly to pop your bubble I'm African, I know half the bull coming out of there is propaganda for western culture. I can say other woods are also not perfect. With Nollywood being over sexualized and Bollywood being racists.

He has copy/pasted this same statement over and over. It must be hard for him to get over his 'great persian empire' being destroyed by a young king leading a Greek army. Well, that and Xerxes getting assassinated by his own eunuch. That has to be embarrassing for someone trying to prop up their manhood with these lies. Cut him some slack. Don't believe him, but understand where he is coming from.
“A coward dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies but once.” - William Shakespeare If you understand what that means, you will understand why Ephialtes bowed his head in shame when Leonidas wished him a long life.
u are u using Shekespeare for real? Ofc and Shakespeare is really great but most of the quotes were established in Ancient Hellas and other Ancient countries like Rome Egypt China Japan ..
@oftravelmeditation do u actually think thats possible when for 2000 before him there where writers all over the world? Even so u see his inspiration is taken from these ancient countries
@@ypsilonalpha Everyone was inspired by somebody else but that doesn’t mean such a person is unable to come up with their own creation. Sir Isaac Newton was inspired by scientists before him. He discovered gravity and so many discoveries. Have you read Shakespeare? Do you know that he is one of the most influential of his field in history?
Fun fact: when Leonidas uttered "may you live forever" to Ephialtes, it was an insult. By living forever, Ephialtes will never get the true glorious death, that all Spartans crave. He was cursing him to never have glory, never be in the company of heroes, and never be written like the heroes of history. One of the heaviest insults/curses you could lay on a spartan, whose glory and honour were everything. Since Ephialtes was the son of a Spartan warrior, he knew what Leonidas meant. Which is why he lowers his head in shame from Leonidas words. Throughout modern Greek history "Ephialtes" means nightmare. Basically his punishment for his betrayal.
i think he also knew that ephialtes felt insane guilt over his betrayal which and thought of it as a mistake he could never undo. by having leonidas survive and being a persian puppet he would at least have some damage controll. but if leonidas dies here then he ephialtes would never be able to forgive himself and spend his life miserable and depressed. i think that was also a part of the insult. may you live forever with your guilt and suffer from it.
Dienekes/Διηνέκης(spartan warrior) said it before the battle. he spoke the following sentence, hearing from a certain Trachinius how, when the barbarians shoot with their bows, their innumerable arrows hide the sun; so great is their multitude; he said, scorning the multitude of the Medes, that the news brought by the stranger from Trachina was all pleasing to them, since the Medes were hiding the sun, the battle against them would be fought in the shade and not under the sun. (HERODOTUS)
2:04 The eyes of a true leader. Willing to stand at the front of his men in the face of immeasurable odds against him and not flinch. A man I could truly follow. As the young warrior said, "an honor to die at your side". I am not sure if people get how powerful this scene is. Lord do we need a man like that now.

Xerxes will be remembered as the king who decided his war against Greece could not be won and was eventually assassinated by his own eunuch. And Persia will forever be remembered as a footnote beneath the heel of Alexander the Great as he conquered it and the lands to the east.
It's as much "real" as The Gladiator is real. Sure, some battles of the plot really happened but Persians didn't look like that, and their king 'khashaw-yawr-sha' (Xerxes) didn't see himself as a God, he was merciful and was civilized, as was their empire. After conquering nations, they only changed their political positions, never their dignity, history or norms and values. They did fight battles for land, but that's what all the Empires did back then. This movie had so many inaccuracies, it's actually horrible. Maybe it has cinematic scenes but for me the disrespect to the actual history is so big, it overwhelms the cinematic scenes. Leonidas and Alexandra (she was a woman not man ) were actually great gay and bastard in the world . Damn on them .
Good to see someone quoting the great leader TIPU SULTAN of the Indian sub-continent. But I see you didn't mention his name. Please esit your comment again to correctly mention the actual person who said this quote.
This is what happened in the Battle of Balaclava in the Crimean War. Immortalised in the poem Charge of the Light Brigade. ‘In to the valley of death rode the six hundred’. The second verse is the most telling. “Forward, the Light Brigade!” Was there a man dismayed? Not though the soldier knew Someone had blundered. Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die. Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred.”
@arash pahlevan Well the movie is an approximation but it is true that the Persians tried to enslave the free Greek city/states during that era multiple times, with armies first lead by Xerxes and by his son Darius and the Greeks won. A few years later Alexander the Great attacked the Persian empire as a retaliation, beat them multiple times and captured Darius, ending the Persian empire of the time.
@arash pahlevan You forget, the Persians were destroyed by the Greeks. Alexander the Great kicked your butts and claimed your land as his own. You really should study history

There should not be any more wars In this planet. Real warriors only came back to the they country to die alone and in poverty. No sense in killing each other between Humans beings.
Absolut bullshit. Retreat is nothing bad. If you have to retreat.. retreat an come back stronger than ever. It's better then stay and die in honor and still lose a position. The spartan style was a big problem that's why they lost so many man in the peloponnesian war. Sometime it's better to get your men out of the heat then let them die in honor

@@afshinarian3606 Xerxes like many Persian Kings saw themselves as having special link to their heavens and their gods to the point they were gods in their own. It’s sort of like the feudalist ideology that European kings and queens possessed when they believed they were chosen divinely to rule their land. Xerxes like Darius, had massive god complexes. I mean, they were emperors. All emperors did back then, hell some politicians in office now have the same complex. Xerxes was civil to land that accepted him at the undisputed ruler even though the Persian royal families were usually tyrant aggressors. So when land rightfully wanted to rebel, he would stomp them. That’s not very merciful, and the only reasons why he allowed the Jews to have religious freedom was because of his sexual fantasy with Esther.
There are only two films IMO that have such a sad but heroic ending that,as a grown man, reduced me to tears!...

i doubt he could aim at the corner of his lips, he simply aimed to kill him, and the war would be over, but he failed yet his prophecy about the god king bleeding was fullfilled
Most people miss the point, that the whole movie is a telling. You hear the narrative from Dilios through the movie and you see him telling the story in the final scene. Thats why the coward and betrayer is portrayed as ugly and misformed as he is. Thats why king Leonidas is fighting the most grusome being, and still manages to win. Its why the Immortals are portrayed as demons. Dilios is boosting morale of the spartan army in the end, while he portrays his friends and his king as almost unstoppable warriors. Even the godlike Xerxes can bleed.

There’s no one more dedicated to their job than the cameraman. He got arrowed with Leonidas in the end just to get that perfect shot of the arrows raining down on Leonidas. #RESPECT
M Tours It’s the kings fault he turned him down when all he ever asked for was to fight for his country and he was denied. Leonidas deserved to be taken down by someone he thought below him.
@@belland_dog8235 History is actually more complicated than that. Firstly note that the battles of alexander were reported by Greek historians and not Persian. Secondly, I have read that the Persian empire was in utter turmoil when Alexander came.
@@SaeedAcronia Ofc history is written by the victors, I don't see why that needed to be pointed out but whatever suits you. I don't see how happens back home really matters if the army is already assembled and on the battlefield, especially at a time when you couldn't get instant information. But anyway my point was that a good tactician can use a much smaller force to beat a much larger force (quality vs quantity) I suppose you could look at the American revolution and their guerilla tactics as a good example of this. Though I understand that this conversation was more about the actual quality of the body, I assumed using quality of the mind would be fine. In the end though it's best to have quality and quantity.
“May you live forever” Anyone else catch the veiled insult?? Spartans welcomes a glorious death Telling him to live forever was worse than wishing him dead
Did you notice the coordinate uniformity of the spartan soldiers' shield? Did you feel the aura and resilience of Leonidas- A leader! A warrior king! This movie is indeed the magnum opus of its kind.
Και που να δεις τους σημερινούς βασιλιάδες ΤΙΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΑΣ. Οι μεγαλυτεροι διεφθαρμένοι πολιτικοί τις υφηλίου..... Τρίζουν τα ΚΟΚΚΑΛΑ όσων πολέμησαν ΤΙΣ βάρβαρες φυλές ΤΙΣ Ασίας.
It’s kind of symbolic how he dies to arrows in the end. A ranged weapon almost represents the weapons of cowardice while the sword resembles honour. It shows how everyone else prioritised life and longevity of wealth which ultimately made them greedy and deluded while the Spartans prioritised honour and dignity in war. That’s why the audience roots for them. The sword and the bow are good uses of symbolism in this movie, intentional or not 👍
@@maxpavlovskyyep, this is the true fact and he was nearly 60 years old when he went there with his Men. He actually died on the first day and the Men went crazy, but they had to make him survive until the End because he was the Main protagonist and he had to do the final negotiations at the End as well (just for the movie experience).
@@ΓιάννηςΧαρικαπολυς It is far beyobd than a simple exaggeration. Persians are not Afracins! Their king was not nude! And Spartans were not so patriots!

This scene is described and captured so beautifully , it teaches us that even when xerxes won, he did not eternally win but leonidas who lost eventually won. The scene where the spear hits the glass shows us how xerxes arrogance was shattered. Pure cinematic masterpiece.

Leonidas didn't die from the arrows, he died crawling back home with his 1000 pound ball sack slowing him down, causing him to die from dehydration Btw, respect to the badass who was speared, and roared like a lion before killing the spear holder. Even the immortals stood back to let him have his moment. He truly died a fucking badass. That is a very fucking masculine ass way to go out. That's one thing this movie got right. It shows what a real, badass, masculine man is. And I live by it
@@davislong9476 Did you ever hear the tragedy of darth plagueis the wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself
Xerces’s messenger dude: All you have to do is knell Leonidas: Spartas never kneel Xerces’s Messanger dude: Ok how bout a handshake Leonidas: Shit say less
Its not a true historical story. Greatly exaggerated, not even the clothes both sides wear is historically accurate. Based on a comic. 300 men didn't stop a Persian army or fight it. But as a movie its very entertaining,none of it is true historical facts though. A good fake story.
Some of the broad strokes are accurate, but it’s mostly fictionalised. Nothing wrong with that, though; romanticised/exaggerated retellings of history have been going on for years, and can be appreciated for what they are.
“You there, ephialtes, May you live forever”. And 2500 years later, Ephialtes is reviled so much in Greek culture, that the Greeks today use his name to literally mean a nightmare!. So upon waking from a bad dream, or encountering something horrific in daily life, a Greek will say, “I had an ephialtes”.
arash pahlevan dude I agree with your assessment, but what I stated is 100% accurate. There was a historical figure named ephialtes that showed the Persians the hidden goat path around the Spartans. This is known and agreed upon history. Also, I am Greek and speak Greek and so I can vouch to the validity of the use of his name as a cursed one they travelled down through the ages as a traitor whose name came to be used for something malevolent (a nightmare) due to his traitorous deed. This is also 100% accurate as it is a part of modern Greek culture.
The length of the war,the battle of thermopylae,King Leonidas might be loosed in this battle but the mighty king never kneeled down before the God king.And his last words,"at least some few soldiers stood up against the tyranny,that a God King can bleed".Zack Snyder's cinematography and visual effects left us speechless and threw us in the early ancient sparta.The Spartans are the most strongest and powerful warriors at that time.Their exercise highlighted in this movie.

Few probably know that Leonidas fought and fell on the battlefield of the Thermopili at the age of 60 (Born 540 BC died 480 BC). At that time 60 years old you were a very old man but not for the Spartans due to their incredible military training they had from 7 year old and up.

“Then you will see that also a god can bleed.” Xerxes realised that Leonidas’ words were true. Like Xerxes himself put it, his true power was his identity as someone untouchable and divine, and that was exactly what Leonidas attacked with his spear.
I like to think that the archers (aside from the patience and stillness required for a lethal strike from that distance) actually waited until Leonidas greeted his end with open arms, which shows possible respect for him: He led a small army up against a thousand nations, killed the monsters whom parents told their children about at night, and made a god bleed. At least, that's how I perceive it as; respect for a legend.

The true beauty of this hero’s life is that he was into his 60’s as all his companions. Perfectely trained and strong , keeping themselves fit until far higher age, fighting together for a lifetime, they stood and fought there and send the regular young recruits from the other City states home, to live and fight another day. On purpose, he hand picked Sparta’s most battle hardened veterans to fight on behalf of all Greeks. When asked by athenians what does he think he will do with only 300, he replied in their specific laconic style: “they are 300 spartans”. The fact that those experienced warriors , Leonida’s generation, chose to fight to the death was to se serve 2 goals: let the younger Greeks the Chance to regroup and fight with a better chance of winning and to offer a living example how a life should be lived and ended. Their exemplary sacrifice proved that respect shown to the elders was indeed rightly earned, as always, they will give their own life in order to preserve the younger ones!

The Persians never enslaved and the history of Herodotus shows that the Persians were the most cultured people of their time and other nations were never occupied by the Persians in war. In fact, the Persian government was a liberating government that freed Jewish slaves from slavery.@Max St. Arlyn
The Persians never invaded the land of others. And in fact the attack on Greece was a response to the arrogance of the Spartan kings. And after that Alexander the Great invaded Iran and colonized us. In fact we are two ancient nations with a long history Of course, our history is more glorious than the history of Greece. Because Greece was a small empire, but our empire was much bigger, more civilized and more humane. That is why we formed the first international government in the world, from Tajikistan to Egypt, which is almost all The civilized world included that day. And we ruled over other nations very justly and we are proud of our history in this regard. However, today neither we nor you and our empires have been destroyed and replaced by others.

I think I understand why Leonidas hit xerxies in the mouth with the spear and didn't kill him Two simple facts 1. Xerxies face is now ruined 2. A God does not bleed so if xerxies bled he would be proven to be human
3. Historically, Xerxies didn't die in this battle, if Leonidas were to kill Xerxies in the film, this film would be 100% unrealistic instead of its current state which is 90% unrealistic

Persia will be remembered as the empire with the largest army of the ancient world, yet were unable to conquer the Greek city-states.

And Persia will forever be remembered as a footnote beneath the heel of Alexander the Great as he conquered it and the lands to the east.

“A coward dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies but once.” - William Shakespeare
If you understand what that means, you will understand why Ephialtes bowed his head in shame when Leonidas wished him a long life.
u are u using Shekespeare for real? Ofc and Shakespeare is really great but most of the quotes were established in Ancient Hellas and other Ancient countries like Rome Egypt China Japan ..
Thank you Mr. Circomnia for the quote.

@@ypsilonalpha Everyone was inspired by somebody else but that doesn’t mean such a person is unable to come up with their own creation. Sir Isaac Newton was inspired by scientists before him. He discovered gravity and so many discoveries.
Have you read Shakespeare? Do you know that he is one of the most influential of his field in history?
Fun fact: when Leonidas uttered "may you live forever" to Ephialtes, it was an insult. By living forever, Ephialtes will never get the true glorious death, that all Spartans crave. He was cursing him to never have glory, never be in the company of heroes, and never be written like the heroes of history. One of the heaviest insults/curses you could lay on a spartan, whose glory and honour were everything.
Since Ephialtes was the son of a Spartan warrior, he knew what Leonidas meant. Which is why he lowers his head in shame from Leonidas words. Throughout modern Greek history "Ephialtes" means nightmare. Basically his punishment for his betrayal.
Yes, but... He become the link from that battle and history books as the only surviving greek....
Thanks, didn’t know about it.
i think he also knew that ephialtes felt insane guilt over his betrayal which and thought of it as a mistake he could never undo. by having leonidas survive and being a persian puppet he would at least have some damage controll. but if leonidas dies here then he ephialtes would never be able to forgive himself and spend his life miserable and depressed. i think that was also a part of the insult.
may you live forever with your guilt and suffer from it.

The King of Sparta was among the soldiers... the best one
Still one of the greatest words ever in a movie. " Then we shall fight in the shade ".
That was apparently said by the Spartans in the real battle
Dienekes/Διηνέκης(spartan warrior) said it before the battle.
he spoke the following sentence, hearing from a certain Trachinius how, when the barbarians shoot with their bows, their innumerable arrows hide the sun; so great is their multitude; he said, scorning the multitude of the Medes, that the news brought by the stranger from Trachina was all pleasing to them, since the Medes were hiding the sun, the battle against them would be fought in the shade and not under the sun. (HERODOTUS)
One of the greatest lines😂
The great movie i have seen.
Greatest words in history* a real Spartan soldier actually said this to a Persian soldier
2:04 The eyes of a true leader. Willing to stand at the front of his men in the face of immeasurable odds against him and not flinch. A man I could truly follow. As the young warrior said, "an honor to die at your side". I am not sure if people get how powerful this scene is. Lord do we need a man like that now.

@@afshinarian3606 Xerxes like many Persian Kings saw themselves as having special link to their heavens and their gods to the point they were gods in their own. It’s sort of like the feudalist ideology that European kings and queens possessed when they believed they were chosen divinely to rule their land. Xerxes like Darius, had massive god complexes. I mean, they were emperors. All emperors did back then, hell some politicians in office now have the same complex. Xerxes was civil to land that accepted him at the undisputed ruler even though the Persian royal families were usually tyrant aggressors. So when land rightfully wanted to rebel, he would stomp them. That’s not very merciful, and the only reasons why he allowed the Jews to have religious freedom was because of his sexual fantasy with Esther.
Xerxes’ is horrified by a mere flesh wound because of the prospect of living with that scar, reminding everyone of his mortality.

Most people miss the point, that the whole movie is a telling. You hear the narrative from Dilios through the movie and you see him telling the story in the final scene. Thats why the coward and betrayer is portrayed as ugly and misformed as he is. Thats why king Leonidas is fighting the most grusome being, and still manages to win. Its why the Immortals are portrayed as demons. Dilios is boosting morale of the spartan army in the end, while he portrays his friends and his king as almost unstoppable warriors.

But anyway my point was that a good tactician can use a much smaller force to beat a much larger force (quality vs quantity) I suppose you could look at the American revolution and their guerilla tactics as a good example of this. Though I understand that this conversation was more about the actual quality of the body, I assumed using quality of the mind would be fine. In the end though it's best to have quality and quantity.

It shows how everyone else prioritised life and longevity of wealth which ultimately made them greedy and deluded while the Spartans prioritised honour and dignity in war. That’s why the audience roots for them. The sword and the bow are good uses of symbolism in this movie, intentional or not 👍

@@maxpavlovskyyep, this is the true fact and he was nearly 60 years old when he went there with his Men. He actually died on the first day and the Men went crazy, but they had to make him survive until the End because he was the Main protagonist and he had to do the final negotiations at the End as well (just for the movie experience).

@@smabtahi7905 the story is Hollywood made so it’s exaggerating. But these are true events and happened for real. Open a history book and you ll see.
@@ΓιάννηςΧαρικαπολυς It is far beyobd than a simple exaggeration. Persians are not Afracins! Their king was not nude! And Spartans were not so patriots! Later, they allied with Persians against Athenians. For more information , read "Historical inaccuracies" in wikipedia:

This scene is described and captured so beautifully , it teaches us that even when xerxes won, he did not eternally win but leonidas who lost eventually won. The scene where the spear hits the glass shows us how xerxes arrogance was shattered. Pure cinematic masterpiece.

@aerodog2 uhhh last time I checked, it was just strawberry jam
@aerodog2 you got me confused on that one
Really like this version too. The spear and piano were a nice touch. Use this during workouts.
300 motivates me to never give up. Leonidas fights for freedom and no matter if he is surrounded he will still fight.
Makes me wonder what a modern society that follows in the footsteps of Sparta would be like.
Leonidas didn't die from the arrows, he died crawling back home with his 1000 pound ball sack slowing him down, causing him to die from dehydration
Btw, respect to the badass who was speared, and roared like a lion before killing the spear holder. Even the immortals stood back to let him have his moment. He truly died a fucking badass. That is a very fucking masculine ass way to go out. That's one thing this movie got right. It shows what a real, badass, masculine man is. And I live by it

@@davislong9476 I was speaking on behalf of the movie. Chill
@@davislong9476 Did you ever hear the tragedy of darth plagueis the wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself

Such an incredible movie, such an incredible story. To this day.
Its not a true historical story. Greatly exaggerated, not even the clothes both sides wear is historically accurate. Based on a comic. 300 men didn't stop a Persian army or fight it. But as a movie its very entertaining,none of it is true historical facts though. A good fake story.
@@bobdopsopdap4583 Thank you, .... Your comment adds to the intrest of the story.... Thanks again mate.
Some of the broad strokes are accurate, but it’s mostly fictionalised. Nothing wrong with that, though; romanticised/exaggerated retellings of history have been going on for years, and can be appreciated for what they are.
Yess - and the heart of the story is TRUE - forget about some details like naked fighters oder some hundred other helping hands.
@@bobdopsopdap4583 you're telling me elephants the size of the Whitehouse and those kittens Leondias killed never existed?! 😱😱😱
“You there, ephialtes, May you live forever”.
And 2500 years later, Ephialtes is reviled so much in Greek culture, that the Greeks today use his name to literally mean a nightmare!. So upon waking from a bad dream, or encountering something horrific in daily life, a Greek will say, “I had an ephialtes”.
So his name lives 4 ever
Faas in infamy for being a traitor, yes!
Greco-Americano cool
arash pahlevan dude I agree with your assessment, but what I stated is 100% accurate. There was a historical figure named ephialtes that showed the Persians the hidden goat path around the Spartans. This is known and agreed upon history. Also, I am Greek and speak Greek and so I can vouch to the validity of the use of his name as a cursed one they travelled down through the ages as a traitor whose name came to be used for something malevolent (a nightmare) due to his traitorous deed. This is also 100% accurate as it is a part of modern Greek culture.
arash pahlevan I did grammar school dude I know it is made up for the most part
The length of the war,the battle of thermopylae,King Leonidas might be loosed in this battle but the mighty king never kneeled down before the God king.And his last words,"at least some few soldiers stood up against the tyranny,that a God King can bleed".Zack Snyder's cinematography and visual effects left us speechless and threw us in the early ancient sparta.The Spartans are the most strongest and powerful warriors at that time.Their exercise highlighted in this movie.
Gerard's passion for his wife and his expressions are outstanding. What an honor to witness this movie. Thank you King Leonidas for inspiring us in these covid times
@arash pahlevan you comment this same nonsense on every comment like anyone actually gives a fuck. Historically accurate or not it was a good ass movie. Why don't you be like these warriors you have a hardon for and quit crying like a little bitch. Fuckin jihadie john looking ass clown.
It's as much "real" as The Gladiator is real. Sure, some battles of the plot really happened but Persians didn't look like that, and their king 'khashaw-yawr-sha' (Xerxes) didn't see himself as a God, he was merciful and was civilized, as was their empire. After conquering nations, they only changed their political positions, never their dignity, history or norms and values. They did fight battles for land, but that's what all the Empires did back then. This movie had so many inaccuracies, it's actually horrible. Maybe it has cinematic scenes but for me the disrespect to the actual history is so big, it overwhelms the cinematic scenes. Leonidas and Alexandra (she was a woman not man ) were actually great gay and bastard in the world . Damn on them .

300 was an epic movie. Many claim it was Troy but for me it was truly 300 that moved me from within
Sparta for sure %
Epic story! Groundbreaking production! Unbelievable artistry in scenes, casting score photography as well as delivery of story line! If films were graded on level of art this is reaching the heights of a Rembrandt! A film that can be viewed over and over again!
This movie changed my entire life, how the man should fight for his own principles and die for it if it required, I tattooed that moment that he stand thinking for a minute before he decided to die in honorable way in my right shoulder.
Beautifully cinematic. Idc what anyone says, this movie was a joy to watch.

Few probably know that Leonidas fought and fell on the battlefield of the Thermopili at the age of 60 (Born 540 BC died 480 BC). At that time 60 years old you were a very old man but not for the Spartans due to their incredible military training they had from 7 year old and up. Pracically, they were all warriors formed and destined to die as warriors.

I watched this movie way back 2006, and yet still evergreen.
Oh, what a movie!
I sent this to my boss last week,
Just got a ten percent raise😎👊
“Then you will see that also a god can bleed.” Xerxes realised that Leonidas’ words were true. Like Xerxes himself put it, his true power was his identity as someone untouchable and divine, and that was exactly what Leonidas attacked with his spear.

xerxes was a fake god ,son of Darius, arabs hyped him up nothing else
anyway xerxes was defeated by Spartans after this event.
One of the greatest stories ever told and told extraordinarily. 👏
I like to think that the archers
(aside from the patience and stillness required for a lethal strike from that distance)
actually waited until Leonidas greeted his end with open arms, which shows possible respect for him:
He led a small army up against a thousand nations, killed the monsters whom parents told their children about at night, and made a god bleed.
At least, that's how I perceive it as; respect for a legend.
Either that, or they were all really bad shots 😂

دوست عزیز این فیلم تنها یک دروغ زیبا بود همین و بس
The true beauty of this hero’s life is that he was into his 60’s as all his companions. Perfectely trained and strong , keeping themselves fit until far higher age, fighting together for a lifetime, they stood and fought there and send the regular young recruits from the other City states home, to live and fight another day.
On purpose, he hand picked Sparta’s most battle hardened veterans to fight on behalf of all Greeks. When asked by athenians what does he think he will do with only 300, he replied in their specific laconic style: “they are 300 spartans”.
The fact that those experienced warriors , Leonida’s generation, chose to fight to the death was to se serve 2 goals: let the younger Greeks the Chance to regroup and fight with a better chance of winning and to offer a living example how a life should be lived and ended.
Their exemplary sacrifice proved that respect shown to the elders was indeed rightly earned, as always, they will give their own life in order to preserve the younger ones!
A simple detail , such as the fighter age, provides so many insights about the European civilisation!

@Max St. Arlyn there were no slave in persian army
The Persians never enslaved and the history of Herodotus shows that the Persians were the most cultured people of their time and other nations were never occupied by the Persians in war. In fact, the Persian government was a liberating government that freed Jewish slaves from slavery.@Max St. Arlyn
The Persians never invaded the land of others. And in fact the attack on Greece was a response to the arrogance of the Spartan kings. And after that Alexander the Great invaded Iran and colonized us. In fact we are two ancient nations with a long history Of course, our history is more glorious than the history of Greece. Because Greece was a small empire, but our empire was much bigger, more civilized and more humane. That is why we formed the first international government in the world, from Tajikistan to Egypt, which is almost all The civilized world included that day. And we ruled over other nations very justly and we are proud of our history in this regard. However, today neither we nor you and our empires have been destroyed and replaced by others.

I think I understand why Leonidas hit xerxies in the mouth with the spear and didn't kill him
Two simple facts
1. Xerxies face is now ruined
2. A God does not bleed so if xerxies bled he would be proven to be human
David Missen never thought about that. I just wish he hit him dead center in the chest
David Missen but a god doesnt die if he would killed him it would be better
David Missen well done.✌️
I think so....
God is never bled
Never die
3. Historically, Xerxies didn't die in this battle, if Leonidas were to kill Xerxies in the film, this film would be 100% unrealistic instead of its current state which is 90% unrealistic
It is called what We Believe and Know to be True. The Communion of Saints. God Bless.
