Honor to those who in their lives have defined and guard their Thermopylae. Never stirring from duty; just and upright in all their deeds, yet with pity and compassion too; generous when they are rich, and when they are poor, again a little generous, again helping as much as they can; always speaking the truth, yet without hatred for those who lie. And more honor is due to them when they foresee (and many do foresee) that Ephialtes will finally appear, and that the Medes in the end will go through. Eternal glory to our legendary ancestors 🔥🏛️🇬🇷

Kudos for the realistic animation and story telling! One glaring omission is the explanation of why Darius I invaded mainland Greece (note: the video says the reasons remains "unclear"). The Greco-Persian Wars were in fact instigated by the Ionian Revolt in 498-499 BCE. This is when the Ionian Greeks, then subjects to the Persian Empire and under the governorship of an Ionian Greek Satrap, rebelled against paying taxes andwhat they considered a tyrannical Ionian governor. In the process, Athens whom Darius I had supported against Sparta, sent troops and ships in support of the revolt. The Western capital city of the Persian empire known as Sardis was sacked and burned by the rebels. Darius I hastily sent a punitive campaign over to retaliate against Athens. The first campaign was a disaster as many of the Persian ships were destroyed in a bad storm. The second attempt which landed the troops at Marathon was routed after the Athenians surprise attacked the Persian infantry and eventually returned to Athens before the main contingency of Persian ships got there. Darius I decided to then formally invade mainland Greece but died at age 64 before completing the mission. It was later taken up by his son Xerxes I who succeeded in sacking and burning Athens and defeating the Greeks at Thermopylae, but a year later the Persian army that was left in place under the Mardonius was finally defeated at the desperate Battle of Plataea. Of note, Darius I solved the Ionian Revolt issue by having a democracy instilled and setting up a system of arbitration going forward for the Ionian Greeks. According to Herodotus, the solution was uniformly praised. It should also be said that there is some irony that after the Persian Wars, the Athenians and Spartans were to go to war with each other, each in turn asking for help from Persia. Eventually both Athens and Sparta agreed to the terms of King Artaxerxes II ("The King's Peace"), that in return for guaranteeing peace, the Greek world would recognize that Asia (including Asia Minor and Ionia) belonged to Persia. So, in a master class of sorts, the Persians helped create the conflict then set the terms of the peace treaty. The f irstPersian empire would remain a super power for another 150 years until it was conquered by Alexander the Great in 331 BCE.

You've forgotten SALAMIS. The Persian army was totally dependent on ship borne supply. Defeating the navy left the Persian army with no choice but to head for home. Greece was neither rich in plunder nor was it capable of sustaining the massive Persian army by stripping the country bare. The Athenian Admiral Themistocles lured the Persian fleet into a narrow area between an island and the mainland. Xerxes and his retainer watched the engagement from the heights, and were appalled to witness the nimble Athenian triremes surround the plodding Persian vessels.

Alexander the Great was able to conquer Asia Minor, Egypt, the Achaemenid Empire and East India. He looted, and during several days of extreme festivities, apparently drunk or at the behest of a prostitute, he set fire to Persepolis. Maybe he did this in the war. He burned thousands of parchments and destroyed the walls of Persepolis. And at the end of his 30s, he either fell ill or died due to excessive drinking. During internal tensions and civil wars known as the Diadukhoian Wars, the Macedonian Empire was divided into several parts. Macedonia and Greece were under the rule of Alexander, Egypt under the Ptolemaic rule, and part of Iran's lands, including Babylon, were under the rule of Nicator (Seleucus I), and the Seleucids. The Seleucids, who did not change much to the economic and satrapy system of the Achaemenids and sometimes even considered themselves Gods, ended up fighting with Egypt and Rome. In Syria and Palestine, these wars weakened the Seleucid Empire. At the end of a Scythian tribe named "Perni", who were one of the Scythian tribes, they conquered Parthian land from the north of Iran and were called "Parthians". (a possibility because their name is "parts") Under the leadership of "Arshak I" they were able to conquer significant parts in the north of Iran! ((They fully respected the Achaemenians and were followers of the Zoroastrian religion)) They became known as Arshkanians and "Ashkanians". Over the years and through various wars, the western government of Greece, India and the Seleucids were conquered and ruled. And the weak Seleucids were destroyed by the Romans. Now an Aryan tribe ruled the land of Iran! They were not alone and were supported by people who had a lot of anger towards the Greeks, Macedonians and Seleucids. They were fighting for complete independence! In the end, the era of Greek rule and Hellenism in Iran was lost. And later Sassanids ruled Iran.... Now an Aryan tribe ruled the land of Iran! They were not alone and were supported by people who had a lot of anger towards the Greeks, Macedonians and Seleucids. They were fighting for complete independence! In the end, the era of Greek rule and Hellenism in Iran was lost. And later Sassanids ruled Iran.... Of course, the Parthians respected the Seleucids during the campaigns and conquest of Iran! At the peak of his power!

​@@ChrisJensen-se9rj After this battle, the admirals, including Artemis, took positions! (It is a possibility that this happened after the battle) However, the Greeks were able to force the Achaemenians to retreat! During the reign and development period, the Greek admiral Themistocles put so much pressure on the people of Athens and Greece for supporting the Achaemenians that he was exiled. Due to meeting with an Iranian-Achaemenid person, he was condemned to support and have relations with Achaemenids and Ardashir I (son and successor of Xerxes)! However, he tried to be loyal to Greece and the Greek people, and he was! Now the Greeks wanted to kill Themistocles! He brought himself to the court of Achaemenid Ardeshir I! He was even accepted and entertained!

While there were only 300 Spartan warriors in the battle, There were a total of 7,000 other Greeks in the pass. When the danger of envelopment occurred, the Spartan King told the others to leave and fight another day. 700 Thespians volunteered to remain and it has been reported that others also remained, including up to 900 helots (slaves of the Spartans) and 400 Thebans.

@@h.y1855 The Persians wrote history about their own victories as well, focusing strictly on their enemies' defeats and on their victories. In complete contrast to that, the Greeks though victorius three times against a vast Empire, and though they indeed had every right to brag for their victories, they did no such thing. They managed these victories with maturity as a society, and the Persians with sympathy. This is *clear* in Aeschylus' tragedy "The Persians". This was their worldview: they believed in what they called Hubris, where when someone, overestimating his abilities and power behaved *arrogantly* and offensively towards others, the laws of the state and *above all* against the unwritten divine laws which imposed limits on human behavior, he was considered to be committing "hubris", i.e. he was exhibiting behavior in which he attempted to transcend his mortal nature and assimilate himself to the Gods, insulting the Gods causing their outrage. The examples of the Greeks being taught to avoid Hubris are literally thousands : e.g. the myth of Icarus, not to mention every single tragedy and comedy they ever wrote. I hope you are aware of the huge importance of the myths and the plays (tragedies and comedies) in the life of the ancient Greeks, and how they shaped their societies.

@@ferrisbuellertube Herodotus spent many years of his life in Athens, where he became close friend to Pericles, you know, the one who fought against the Spartans in the Peloponnesian War. Pericles died exactly because the Spartans conducted the first recorded chemical warfare in history, by throwing dead animals in the wells around Athens, causing a pandemic in the city that killed about 30% of its people, including Herodotus close friend Pericles. This for saying that Herodotus wrote in favor of the Spartans. He was just being objective.

​​@@Jiyukann the final battle Leonidas kept his guard ( about 300) and sent away the others. 700 soldiers from Tespi, commander Demofilus, were ashame to let Leonidas alone and stood there. Leonidas kept also 400 Thebans because Thebe was allied with the Persians. There were no soldiers from Corinto. When the battle began the thebans immediately surrendered, claiming they were allies, but the persians were so angry that killed lot of them. The others were made prisoners and sent to Persia. Spartans and Tespians were all killed. Nonody knows about helots who probably went away before the battle.... Herodotus. In the post there a lot of mistakes.

According to Herodotus, Darius wanted to punish the Greeks for not honoring their pledge of “water and earth” for his help when they asked for his help in overthrowing their tyrant Hippo. The Athenians eventually did it themselves and didn’t take the pledge seriously when he demanded their help in putting down Greek rebellion in the colonies of Ionia. He saw this as an affront and went to punish them for their treachery. So started the Greco-Persian conflict.

The war began when the Ellenes (Greece and greek are roman words) who lived on the actual shores of Turkey, part of the Persian kingdom, started to rebel against Persia. They asked help to the ellenic cities ( political there was no State, but cities). Only Athens and another small city, Eretria, helped them, but they lost the war and Darius asked who were this Ellenes. Thus he sent a fleet with an army against Athens. The athenians asked help to the Spartans who came late because of religious problems (not Olimpic games), but at Marathon, with only the help of soldiers of Platea (if I remember correct) and all the Athenians soldiers won and the Persians had to retreat. Darius swore revenge and his son tried to do it, this is why they attacked Ellas by land. And Thebe, Argo and other cities, including the Ellenes of the turkish shores, fought or were allied of the Persian. Herodotus

Mostly Spartans fought with Phalanx which consistent of Hoplites, as well as all ancient Greek cities. It's the Hoplon (shield) that gave the name to the Hoplite as a unit. In reality the Hippes, meant cavalry men, but the 300 that was at every moment the (one of the 2) King's guard were fighting always in Phalanx formation and never on horse. Sparta had always 2 Kings simultaneously, after 500 BC and later, 1 fighting, the other taking care of internal affairs. Worked 100% fine for many hundreds of years. Two important details, spear was 2m long so easy to kill from distance especially Persian Infantry that didnt' have heavy armour like the Spartans that their total armour weighed more than 40 kilos, closer to 50. (Alexander the Great later changed his Spear to make it 6 meters long, which was really impossible to face as an enemy). 2nd, the shield was not just a round metal unit, had a finish of strong leather part to protect legs from arrows. This is why Spartans prevailed for about 500 years in ancient history, plus their warfare was not based on unit, but on formation fightintg, as each soldier would be tight close to the 2 soldiers right and left from him and the soldiers coming from the back, were pushing the front soldiers with their shields, so that the Phalanx would go only straight ahead, killing hundreds of enemies in minutes. Also another historical fact. Persian Immortals were not of course immortals but replaceable. They were all from noble families close to the Persian King and when someone would die, another person would take his place for the next fight, hence they were always 10,000. The worst movie ever made for Sparta was 300 a few years ago presenting Spartans like an anabolic army fighting without armour, which was so incorrect. Also it's Molon Lave and not Labe. This is incorrect. Plus the whole mod fails to give a good representation of the phalanx warfare, which is shown correct only for 1 sec in 6:52 with a shield wall. Phalanx's advantage was the shield wall, no unit fought alone or away from the rest. That was the important feature that also made Alexander later victorious over the Persians and all other nations when he united the Greeks (except Spartans) towards the Persians. Best novel book that represents exactly the Spartan warrior life, warfare and this battle is 'Gates of Fire' by author Steven Pressfield. Or any good history book. Both the comic, the movie 300 and most of the mentions everywhere are incorrect and pay no respect to the ancient Spartans. Also, historical fact, Leonidas' garrison were 300, but there were more Laconians, which didn't count as Spartan citizens, but could bear arms. So total Spartan army, was about 1000 men. In the end of the battle Leonidas being already dead, was beheaded and buried, something that the Persians were not used to do as they respected enemies that fought bravely, but it was due to Xerxes' frustration that did do. Leonidas' remainings were retrieved by Spartans 40 years later and transferred in Sparta, buried with honours and games and festivies were organized to honour a great man and warrior. His tomb can be visited today close to the main square of modern Sparta and is probably the only remain of ancient Sparta as the city was destroyed many centuries later by a disastrous earthquake. Can see the tomb here: mythicalpeloponnese.gr/tafos-leonida-ena-entyposiako-ikodomima-diastaseon-125ch830-metron/ It's a cenotaph, means it's empty today and can see only from outside. Born and raised in Sparta in 1974, I breathe this history every day. Ancient Hellenic cities are the main reason, why rest of the Europe is not Persian now.

Хиппы - что это, впервые слышу. Кавалерия Спарты состояла из 300 гиппеев, избранных лучшими,среди всех эфебов- спартиатов. Кавалерия называлась " илами".Все вооружение гоплитов весили до 30 килограмм,но никак не больше. Туда входил шлем,панцырь, щит гоплон, защита предплечья правой руки,поножи и возможно, набедренники. Хотя последнее снаряжение могло уже выйти из употребления к моменту 480 года до н.э. Оченьзавидую Вам,как родившемуся в Спарте. Я старше на 10 лет,но всю жизнь собирал литературу про Спарту и всегда был на ее стороне,чтобы они не совершали. С некоторыми историками древности я не согласен,так как они были уроженцами враждебных Спарте полисов. Копья эллинов были длиннее персидских где тона полметра- метр. Метр шестьдеся против двух- трёх метровых гоплитских копий. А у персов,кроме плетеных ивовых щитов, были чешуйчатые египетские панцыри, прикрытые одеждой. Кроме самих персов, в армии находились египтяне, Саки, скифы, союзные персам греческие гоплиты,жители Малой Азии и другие покорные персам народы. Но их перечисленных, воины имел довольно неплохое тяжёлое вооружение. По подсчётам, среди погибших, образовался неустанный отряд в 700- 1000 человек. Историки предполагают, что возможно 300 - это сопровождавшие спартиатов илоты,а остальные - гоплиты периэки. Хотя легендарный случай с случайно уцелевшим спартанцем, страдающим глазной болезнью. Услышав,что все спартанцы пошли в последнюю битву, включая раненных, он приказал своему илоту довести его до сражающихся. Тот довел слепого спартанцы до битвы и УБЕЖАЛ. Спартанец погиб. Персидское войско было никак не меньше 350 - 500 тысяч. А при Платеях эллинов было только гоплитов до 70 тысяч,плюс 35 тысяч легковооруженных илотов и несколько лучников, пращников и метателей дротиков из других полисов. Впрочем, это все знакомо, но мне всегда приятно вспоминать эти славные года в истории.

Bravo !!! Great animation!! Great analysis!!! Only two comments on the fly . 1. The helmets you show are of the "korinthian" type. The "Spartan" type are the ones in the movie "300" but with the feathers parallell to the eyes for the high ranked soldiers in order to be recognized from afar = Much more advanced that the other helmets. The Athenians had similar ones too. 2. The Spartans recovered Leonidas' body four times dragging him back and forth and finally keeping him between them at the last effort until the end of the battle. The Persians never possesed his body.They've found it after Xerxes' orders underneath the dead Spartans only after the end of the battle not before. And they cut his head off putting it on a stick aside the road to be seen while the remaining troops marched towards central Greece. Stupid dissision by a non the less very great nation...

Actually the Spartan helmets shown on this video are the "pilos" style helmet from the later Spartan period it's decline, and because this is taken from Rome II Total war which is set later than the golden age of Sparta when they wore Corinthian style helmets which is what they wore in the 300 movie. On a side note, the Spartan attendants that were not full citizens that acted as a type of squire probably wore Attic or Thracian style helmets to set them apart from the chosen 300.

No one wanted to fight a weak enemy in Greece because that was against their glory of the victory.

When you talk about Achaemenid Iran and Cyrus the Great, it means that the first government that came banned slavery and took it, that is, the first king who in history was named the best and greatest king in the world, who had no slaves, that's why many lands went to Iran without war. Joining, that big land that you see from Iran, if slavery was widespread in it, it would not have a million army and many races like India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and the Arabs would be extinct now, while in the movie Three Hundred King Darius, we are called a murderer. Show and a devil slave owner, right now if you enter the American laws that Abraham Lincoln created about the prohibition of slavery, write his law from the inscription of Cyrus the Great, which is now in the British Museum.The movie 300 was a big insult to us Iranians! Because they changed our entire history and presented it as a lie, and our current stupid government only looked and said nothing and changed our history with the intention of changing it, as an Iranian, I cannot forgive the arrival of our original and best king. Showing a devil, while the Spartans themselves were legally enslaved! And no matter how you see the film, it is clear that they made this out of hatred, the hatred that the Jews have for us,I must mention that Iran was one of the first governments that came, the same Jews who are changing our history now, saved them from slavery and freed them. This action was done by Cyrus the Great, and it is even written in the Torah and the Christian Bible, and so on. In our other historical books! however many false films they make about our history Again, history can never be changed! and in the end it will be clear who was really evil and who was really good!

Battle of Marathon was many years earlier, 490 BC near Athen. King Dareios of Persia tried to invade Greece. The hoplite phalanx of the new "democracy" of Athen (only rich people could get the hoplite gear) crushed that army. That some messenger then ran to Athen to tell the news and died doing that, is likely a fairy tale. Instead the whole Army with their gear rushed in a hurry the roughly 42 km (in just roughly 4 hours!) to Athen as it was still threaten by Persian Navy.

Ephialtes was a local shepherd whose pastures were most likely taken up by the Persian army to camp on - and his flocks were most likely confiscated by the Persians for rations. It is therefore understandable that, having the Persian army move out and away, was a matter of survival to him. Even if it meant betraying Greece. However, some Spartans located him several years later and put him to the sword.

There were, at the start: 10,000 Spartans, 7000 Thebans and 1000 Arcadians. The Arcadians were to guard the single track mountain pass. After the Greeks were betrayed, the Arcadians fled to guard their farms, (and were killed by the Persians). Eventually, after fighting back-to-back there were 300 Spartans remaining. They refused to surrender in return for their lives, as slaves. Their heroic defence of the pass gave the Greeks time to gather an army large enough to make a defence and the Athenian ships destroyed the Persian fleet at Salamis thereby ending the Perdian campaign.

"300" were chosen to remain BEHIND as a GESTURE, as much for Spartan pride as to set an example. And these "300" were chosen not only with born sons to carry on their name, but from families that would celebrate their demise for the glorification of Sparta, rather than public displays of grief for what most Greeks would consider a pointless death. And this last stand was brought about by the Greek goat herder Ephialtes and his local knowledge of the Anopea trail, a goat path that he used. Ephialtes guided a picked force of Immortals to the rear of the Greek position, and then promptly demanded payment for his services, which so incensed the Immortals commander on the spot that he ran him through with his sword for his troubles. All this is quite well known.

And means come and take them , and leonidas is pronounced. Leo knee thus. and means lion like in Greek

Sorry, but something is bothering me. Their number was really 300 (isn't this an exaggeration of their legacy?), because the 1st infantry attack (no matter how good fighters they were, they had a 10-30% loss, of course only if they were in the front line) we are already talking about only "290-200" fighters whose morale and his combat performance decreased by 5-15% (lack of sleep, several hours of adrenaline rush, the death of their comrades, and I won't say, but if they fought for several hours, what was the energy intake from? Day 2 From the adrenaline rush, they were practically unable to rest. How was the attack that day beaten back??? Moreover, on the principle of attrition, if the Persians deployed their cavalry and war elephants (according to the reports of Alexander the Great, 30-50% of his army (of course, this is just a myth) was destroyed by a war elephant attack in India). So what is the final conclusion if we just quantify the Battle of Thermöpüle? The Number is it real or not real???? Maybe not?

They were not fighting alone. In the beginning there were about 7,000 Greeks The third day 2100: 1,000 Lacedaemonians including 300 Spartans, 700 Thespians, 400 Thebans.

Sparta was a prominent city-state in Laconia in ancient Greece. In antiquity, the city-state was known as Lacedaemon (Λακεδαίμων, Lakedaímōn), while the name Sparta referred to its main settlement on the banks of the Eurotas River in Laconia, in south-eastern Peloponnese.

Look, I just searched on Google, the number of Greeks said Diodorus Sicilia ،If I said the name correctly, it is 7400 It was up to 7700 And the number of Iranians was either 70,000 people or 60,000 people or less than 50,000 people, and finally the war ended with the victory of the Iranians and Leonidas also died in the war.

THE last Greeks were killed ONLY by arrows from distance and by a body-to-body battle as we can watch in this video. This is what Herodotos is saying.
