The Spartans were not heroes Konstantinas … they were a military regime who had slaves of their own. The film 300 is nothing more than a idiotic inaccurate film.

The Battle of Thermopylae is a classic example of a delaying action The Greeks ensured the defeat of the Persians, the victory proved an expensive, Zerxes would lose a large portion of his fleet at salamis, thus his supply of the army would be at best minimal and a poorly led and poorly fed army does not win many battles, one point most do not bring up is that leonadis was in his forty’s if not his fifty’s, I think that he saw this as his last chance for glory before old age took over, and it was foretold that a Spartan king must die for Sparta to win the war, the time between the battle of Thermopylae and the battle of Salamis is only thirty days, some argue that it made little difference, after the Persians cleared the pass at Thermopylae they marched south sacking a few resting cities and burnt Athens to the ground, after his fleet was effectivly destroyed by the Atheian fleet, he took most of the army back to persa, losing large numbers to desease and hunger, the forces he left were destroyed at Plantia by the greek allied army, Persia ceased to be a threat to Greece, and alexander removed Persia from world events about 150 years later.

In the end this shows valor comes unexpectedly and does not knock twice. Talking with a comrade (World War II and Korea War Vet) he told me that valor is not restricted to only your contrymen. While it is easy to hate the enemy in time of war, there are those among them you do not like but never hate and those who fought with honor and you respect them because together the peace can be won.

I am really accept the power of Spartans yet the film Meet the
Spartans spoils the whole glory and the effort… if anyone doesn’t watch the movie please see and raise our hands against this type of imitations…

Stelios wasn’t a real person either as he represented Dienekes who was regarded as the bravest of all the 300.
