Actually they used same formations with the spartans. When in Marathon in order to avoid the Persian arrows they marched in silence and when they reached the range of the arrows they run toward the enemies and used a very nice tactic in order to crush the enemies also they had the information that persian Cavalry was missing in order to raid so they took the opportunity and crashed the enemies
Historically, as the Spartans said it, this was a huge mistake to kill Darius. It ended up making his son ,who really wasnt much of a leader, scholar, diplomat, soldier, or advisor, into the accursed Xerxes. Who himself was conquered by an alliance of the city states of Greece at Platea.
Well in their first place, if your going to correct someone that's fine, but have your own fact straight. I can own up to the fact I got it wrong. But if your are going be an ass and say "learn some history". Then learn your own, in the first place Darius the great had not "died an old man". He actually died due to failing health after a revolt in Egypt around 486 BCE. That was after the defeat at Marathon by Datis. Whose taking it seriously? You sure did when you wanted to act like a Rhodes Scholar. Be more accurate and educate someone, not put them down with little comments.
DARIO 1 NON MORÌ IN GUERRA A MARATONA... MA MORÌ NEL SUL REGNO PER VECCHIAIA..... IL FILM COMMETTE MOLTI ERRORI... A GUIDARE L' ATTACCO FU MILZIADE .....!?!? 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Top credit to our contributor for this. Sabaton should have been the music. This gem of a film did not get the respect it deserved. Its fun like Conan the Barbarian. The fact is the Persians (mighty as they were) came unstuck against the Classical Greek City States. If they had Sabaton it would have been a massacre
Many years later, the spirit of the 300 was present when American Marines "fought to check a savage and determined assault" by the Japanese soldiers on the island of Guadalcanal...
@@darylhughes5555 not rly bud you could drop your highest ranking commander with a Mk19 nade launcher in the middle of Birmingham and some guy named Gypsy Steve would ding him on the vod from 30 metres away with a chicken kyiv just to steal his shoelaces
@The Fallen what the fuck are you talking about?? The Spartans were literally afraid to be out in campaign long because they feared a slave uprising, we're Rome built the arguably the single greatest empire to ever exist.
Sabaton actually has a song about the 300 Spartans. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hm-PT_FdAJU.html Resist and Bite is about the Chasseurs Ardennais. A small Belgian unit of soldiers who were supposed to defend the borders and hold their ground along the K-W Line in May 1940. When the German armies, which included Rommel’s Ghost Division, approached the unit, they were supposed to retreat but due to communication failure the order never reached them. Instead they honoured their original orders, which were to defend the border at all cost. They fought so bravely and on such a large front, that they tricked the axis into believing that they were facing a force much larger than 40 rifles strong. When finally they were captured and their captors asked them -”where are the others?” they simply laughed and answered. -”There are no others, we are all!”. The song gets its title from their motto Resiste Et Mords, in English, Resist and Bite.
I know it's dramatized for the movie and I know it's based on a comic and I know they're shock troops who don't rely on formation but those battle axes in the movie always grinded me
@@brathernumzy no they are not bro the fight and film is 1/1 historical fight and movie comics are based of imagination what are you on about go fuckin read history LOL man doesnt know what war greece and persians had before christ smh go learn accient greece
Nice strong music...its about the battle of Marathon 490b.c . It was the first invasion of Persian empire in Greece by the father of Xerxis, Darius. If you ever visit Greece Athens you should visit the Marathon place and museum. There is the Tomb of Athenians the place that burried the fighters died in that battle. The energy there makes you feel that you turn yourself back 2500 years in the past. The feeling is simple fantastic.
at Marathon this wasn't the case, before they got to the Persians yelling chants and NOT hoplites, the Persians ran away and already back to their boats. Now apparently the directors of that movie doesn't k ow what the fuck historical accuracy about an historic war is.
The Persians are one of the greatest civilizations in history. And you mean some cavemen were better than them? You are a handful of illiterates Throughout history, it was only the Persians who saved the Jews
By caveman you mean the Greeks? Who' s civilization is the base for Western culture!!! Plus they didn't " save the Jews" as you said , they were still slaves, they only treated them better than the Babylonians did.
And the cavemen also made the achemenid empire collapse in about less then 10yrs? Impressive for so called "cavemen". One of the shittiest statements i ever heard
nije vazno ko ja je civilizacija bolja nego ko veca muda ima u tom trenutku a civilizacijama da ne govorimo persijanska je deo istorije grcka.balkan i sve je tu
Those cavemen historically held the Persians back so efficiently they turned around and left Greece, TWICE. Those cavemen had created one of history’s most well known and powerful battle tactic, some of those tactics used in modern day warfare and police actions. Plus, they didn’t save the Jews. They were slaves that were treated slightly better than before, actually throughout history the Jews weren’t treated horribly, it was through some time periods they were, those are most notable because they were harsh. That’s because the Jews talked too much, way way too much, literally the first monotheistic religion and they expect not to get bullied? Idiotic. Back to the Persians. Yes they were a powerful force, and they did use good tactics, one such example was the immortal solider. Masked soldiers recognized as immortal because they were all identical one fell for another to step up. But with each conquest ego grows and you spread yourself thin, of course a small and efficient warrior culture that literally wars with itself on a near daily basis is going to beat a bunch of egotistical soldiers. Especially in this scene, if you’re caught off guard and you’re army isn’t landed a group of 300 soldiers catching you off guard could easily slaughter a few thousand because most of them probably aren’t properly armed or are preparing for the next ship to come in. You can see it through history examples of similar situations, granted none ever go this well but they still do go exceptionally well. Catching your enemy off guard will literally always be a good strategy.
