      The king would be present in the battle area but actually in the fight, not as common as I'd imagine, sure kings would march with their armies as moral support, if the king dies what happens? Moral breaks and the kingly led army falls apart. Not the smartest move to go into the fight to die but Leonidas knew once he was dead in the hands of the Persians, Beheaded, Greece would answer back. So he did have the balls to fight a losing battle, but knew it would not be in vain

    • @hotsingleplaguedoctorinarea
      @hotsingleplaguedoctorinarea Před 3 lety +380

      People remember propaganda after thousands of years. The Spartans weren't "elite warriors" who were the "best of the best". They were a slavery driven society of aristocratic elites whose only real contribution to warfare was flexible small unit tactics and psychological warfare through propaganda and flashy displays. Their track record during times of war was average, and the battle of Thermopylae was an absolute failure which lead to the sacking and massacre of Athens, there was absolutely no victory here. The hot gates was believed by the coalition (yes, it was a Greek coalition, not just Spartans running around) to be their best hope against a land invasion due to the massive strategic advantage they offered to their ground forces. The high rocky terrain would force Xerxes to launch a frontal assault every time into a tiny (and I mean T I N Y) gap which could very easily be pushed back and stalled as well as reinforced as per need. The fact that the Greek coalition messed up despite such advantages isn't a cause for celebration, it's humiliation. People also forget the smaller states that contributed hundreds of valuable soldiers during the last stand despite suffering greater consequences in recovering their losses later. What I find extremely ironic is the Idea that this was a fight against oppression, when Sparta was replete with slaves and their brutal abuse and murder wasn't just a commonality, it was tradition.

    Leonidas died early on during the final day of fighting and the most brutal battles were over his body. The persians wanted to take it for Xerxes and the spartans wanted to keep it safe for burial. Apprantley, they lost his body and regained it 3 times until they were all wiped out. Shame they didn't show that.
    EDIT: The reason this is know is that the spartans weren't the only soldiers there. They were being backed up by 2,000ish other Greek soldiers. When they learned that they had been betrayed and were being surrounded, they sent the other Greeks away. Some of them watched the battle play out from a distance.

      giotispaok21 you completely misunderstood my points, Spartans were well trained, they had determination, they were better equips and had superior made weaponries, all of those were indeed important, but the most important part of them holding the line for as long as they did was tactic and strategy, choosing to fight where they did to put the numbers out of the equation, and having a battle formation to completely fill the narrow passage, and switching the front line every few minutes and take turns holding the front with the back rest, if they broke formations like this and went balls deep like here or in the movies, and even charged out of the narrow passageway, they would have been done within hours if not minutes, not days, but alas, neither movie or game makers knows how to show a good strategic battle formation so they just show big bad Spartans spitting up and charging out into the open,

      This is what the stories want you to believe but the actual history isn't that simple. Sparta at that time was a client state of Persia, Xerxes already ruled over the Greek world. A rebellion broke out on some Greek islands, other Greeks were called upon to put the rebellion down. The various city states debated whether to obey the Persian orders or defy them, Athens defied the commands and set out for the naval battle that was depicted in the 300 sequel (and was quite honestly the far more significant battle of the two, as Thermopylae was more a symbolic resistance than a significant military action). Sparta and Athens were always at odds and fought multiple wars against each other, Sparta siding with Persia. Sparta initially viewed this conflict no different than the others and planned to side with Persia against Athens. Leonidas of course had other ideas.
      With the full context it's clear this wasn't a simple defiance of shadow rulers or evil manipulators, Sparta was maintaining their long standing traditions and Leonidas defied them. Brave, certainly but if not for the tremendous Athenian victory over Persia (and later Greek victories including Sparta against Persia) then Leonidas wouldn't be lauded a hero, he would have been a villain and traitor.

Which didn't actually go with a sign of weakness, it was considered a sign of weakness if you left a battle and let your fellow Spartans to die, one story including that a Spartan once left a battle and when he returned, his family and himself were bullied, eventually leading the Coward to commit suicide.

      it was actually a long standing spartan tradition that the 2 kings of Sparta would have 300 men in each of their royal bodyguards, When a class of boys "graduated" and became men by the spartan standard the Ephors would select 3 which they believed had excelled beyond their peers, these 3 would then pick 100 men each (although the selection was overseen by the Ephors to ensure the young men were picking men by their merits and not simply 100 of their closest friends) the original 3 would then become officers and the 100 they each selected would become the unit which they would lead.
      So it wasn't odd that the king took 300 men with him, however anytime the kings ordered their entire royal guard anywhere, it meant they'd be gone longer then a day....just some clarity for that scene....

      Dindu' Nuffin, the phrase is also referencing the fact a Hoplite's shield is typically one of the most cumbersome parts of their equipment, and thus if one was running away from a battle, they'd toss the shield aside so they could actually flee.
      So if you returned without your shield, it meant you abandoned the battlefield and your fellow soldiers.
      I believe a spartan king was asked why losing your helm was better then losing your shield, and the reply was "Because the helm only protects yourself, while the shield protects your fellow soldiers."
