    "They are machines!" The Greek Phalanx was the very first military formation in history that required trained soldiers. So, when the Persian army (a big collection of individuals) came up against a wall of Spartans, that all moved in exact sync with each other, they very well may have thought they were fighting a literal killing machine. And imagine how the Persians felt after loosing 10,000 arrows at their enemy and hearing _laughter_ in response.

    Most Spartans painted ornate designs on their shields. Lions, dragons and anything they thought would intimidate the enemy. Plutarch recounts a story of a Spartan soldier who choose to paint a detailed life sized fly on the center of his shield. Many other soldiers were baffled why he would spend so much time detailing a tiny fly that no one would see. When asked why his response was "When I meet the enemy, I will be so close the fly will appear as large as a lion" Freaking legend.

    I've seen a lot of different designs on Spartan shields as well, but two I've seen that appear to be the most common are the Greek letter Lambda, and the face of a Gorgon. But one unique design I've seen that took me a couple of looks to figure out what it was was an image of an infant Hercules strangling the two snakes Hera sent to kill him when he was still a baby.

    Fun fact: the Termopili battle is not even the craziest battle spartans fought. In fact there was another called (translated word by word from italian) "battle without tears". In the 368 B.C. they invaded the Arcadian territory and, outnumbered, they won without a single loss. That's the reason we call it "without tears". Spartan soldiers were something else.

King Leonidas was a military genius for placing the few soldiers in the narrow passage called The Hot Gates. And against many Persians who vastly out numbered them. Oh no sir you're wrong, the Battle of Thermopylae was Sparta's GREATEST battle because it was a KNOWN suicide mission.

    Though they only have a shield in this movie, Spartan's wore bronze armor from head to toe in battle. Their shield alone weighted between 14-22 pounds add their full armor and you are looking at a warrior covered in over 80lbs, so their conditioning and strength is off the chart. That shield that was both offensive and defensive comprised of bronze/leather and wood and completed by a man trained from the age of 8 to fight and die for his people. A mind and fighting spirit honed by violence and survival and a body forged in the fires of relentless training and combat. For centuries the Spartans were unbeatable ON LAND, giving rise to this moment in time where these brave men immortalized themselves in one of the greatest acts of sacrifice and selflessness in the world.

    Not true. Only wealthy warriors had bronze breastplate, rest had fabric armor. In later periods Spartans preffered less armor and more mobility, do they used only simple pileus helmet and shield around 400 b.c. Also Spartans were defeated few times by other polis, for example Leuctra battle in 371 b.c. where 9000 Tebans defeated 12 000 Spartans.

    Theatrically, it makes sense for the Spartans to only have armor on the extremities: it subconsciously emphasizes to the viewer how vital the shield was to unit cohesion, and this was also meant to be a visual narrative of the fight. But practically? Yes there should have been more personal body armor.

    Actually Europe has more similarities to the Persian Empire then the Spartans or the greeks in general. The movie is ahistoric, while in the Persian Empire slavery was outlawed and serfdom very limited, especially Sparta had a huge amount of slaves. Persia was multicultural and quite accepting so many greeks actually fought for the Persians for example. The persian administration system was very effective and the numerical system we use has similarities with the persion, later arab numbers we still use to this day. Little fun fact, not that long after this war Sparta and Persia allied against the athenian maritime empire and won, enabling the spartan hegemony over greece until Thebes defeated Sparta (among them the Sacret band an elite unit of gay partners considered the most elite unit in greece, having their last stand against Alexander the Great and fought to the last man).

    Liberties were taken with the depiction of Spartan society to make it seem that they stood for "freedom." And of course the horrific debauchery of Xerxes' court and monstrous nature of his troops were dramatic demonization of the Persians -- probably the way the Spartans themselves related the story, though. But this remains one of the great historical underdog tales.

    I'm always amused when people are shocked to see a king in battle. Right up until the end of the 19th century a king (and their princes) *always* fought - and many of them died doing it. A king too cowardly to fight beside you was not a king worth dying for.

    "always fought" my ass, plenty of Kings of England (and likely other nations, but that off the top of my head) did not take the field alongside their soldiers back to even the earliest of written records. I agree with your last line. Warrior kings were not common, mostly because they didn't reign long.

    No. A lot of kings went to the battlefield, but most stayed in the back like the generals they are. If the leader of an army fights, you don't have someone to make the decisions. Of course it's a bit different in a time with small armies, it's difficult to avoid to fight if the armies are just a few thousands or even few hundreds...but in bigger armies the kings often only fought if something went horrible wrong, the battle was already decided, their elite unit should bring victory or if the King was dumb/arrogant. But a normal king in a early stage of the battle between big armies? Without an important reason? Hell no!

    It's believed historically that Xerxes' army numbered around 80,000 - 120,000, if you include naval assets it was a grand total of 200,000 - 500,000 (depending on your source). Without any shadow of a doubt the largest force of its time.
