[QUOTE="crucifine"]it's actually mostly historically accurate. There was anywhere between 120,000 and 2 million persians against the Greeks, who lost all 300 spartans and 700 greek volunteers, and about 9,000 other dudes. The persians gave up after they lost 80,000 men to those first 1,000.Chuman231its based on a true event..but they clearly changed it so much that it poses little historical significance not really, Frank Miller just focused on the Spartans, and put the Persians at the highest number they were known to have. The real thing wasn't a whole lot more balanced than the movie is...1 of those 1,000 for 80 persians is pretty damn heroic.
