The story of Sparta is a couple thousand years old,But the movie 300 is fictional.
The story 300 is actually based on a true story of Sparta history.The movie 300 is based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller, not the ACTUAL SPARTANS.
The movie 300 was base of the 1962 flim "300 Spartans" and that movie was base off history of the Peloponnesian War. No, the Peloponesian War was years later....[QUOTE="Danm_999"][QUOTE="jedigemini"][QUOTE="slothboyadvance"] [QUOTE="jedigemini"][QUOTE="ZinkOxide"]They must've used a time machine, then.squirrel337

Which is based on the story of Sparta... which is a couple thousand years old :roll: Do you honestly believe that 300 men actually held back an army of Persians. Frank Miller wrote it. Or maybe, just maybe, the Ancient Greek historians are doing something their well known to do, exaggerate stories to a degree to which history looks at them in an almost sycophantic light. It's just like the story of Alexander at Arbela, supposedly killing 1 million Persians and losing a few hundred. Let's stop using these stories for consoles. The Wii is the Wii, the 360 is the 360, and the PS3 is the PS3. It was more than 300 men. it was the whole army of Athens, 300 Spartans, 1000 other Creek men. The battle was fought on a narrow passage. Yes, accounts of even 10, 000 against a supposed army of 100,000 to 500, 000 seems extremely unreasonable in any light.The Ancient Greeks had a nasty habit of glorifying their military victories, especially when Persia was involved. Of course, neither of us really know, I'm just saying it was assinine for the TC to base this thread on something which is partly fictionalised by our modern culture, and was probably partly fictionalised by ancient culture.
