    ======= Sparta LYRICS =======
    Many many years ago, when Persia came ashore
    Heeding Leonidas call, The Spartans went to war
    Joined by their brothers, a few against the fateful horde
    Hellenic hearts are set aflame, the hot gates calls their name
    A final stand, stop the Persians, spear in hand
    Form a wall, live to fall, and live forever
    SPARTA! HELLAS!
    Then, and again. Sing of three hundred men
    SLAUGHTER! PERSIANS!
    Glory and death, Spartans will never surrender
    Morning has broken, today they’re fighting in the shade
    When arrows blocked the sun they fell, tonight they dine in hell
    By traitors hand, secret passage, to their land
    Know his name, know his shame will last forever
    ========= Historic Fact ==========
    In 480BC, the Battle of Thermopylae took place in Ancient Greece. King Leonidas and a small number of soldiers - including 300 of his warriors from the state of Sparta - died making a brave last stand against an invading force of around 100,000 Persians.

    • @lollekompolle
      @lollekompolle Před 3 lety +26

      @@marzbanofmerv2324 You are probably right. I guess it is because they were advertised as being "immortal" or rather "invicible" and then they just fell like any other soldier on the battlefield. So their "enchantment" that made them fearsome and therefore seemingly invincible (and they were fearsome warriors and ahead of their time don't get me wrong here) just evaporated into thin air for western cultures because then they were sure that and how they could be beaten. And of course stories being told of them changed according to that and factored into today's painted image in the media. It's not like we don't respect them for what they once were, it's just that they've lost their charm I guess. It's probably also because back in the day people only knew one thing for sure: the stronger imposes their rules upon you and you have to follow or face the consequences. So the spartans and other greek citiestates acted like a cultural shield for all of europe. And let's be honest here, even today people just don't like change. ;) I like and respect the persian /iranian culture just like any other.

      This is incredibly insular point of view, millions remember the immortals just as millions remember the Spartans. We can sit modernly and postulate about the embarrassing loss of Persian life taking the pass but just as easily one can be embarassed for the Spartans for throwing away their own lives and losing the pass, leaving Greece to have to be saved by the Athenians (who are the actual Victors of the Persian wars) this battle remembers both sides favourably depending on which side you choose to do so.

    Hello all,
    This is great song, along with all the others in the same album.
    Here are some fact about the battle of Thermopyles that you may not know and definitely movies will not tell you.
    1) King Leonidas was 60 years old
    2) Total Greek forces were 6-7k
    3) Pythia (Oracle) told to King Leonidas, that only if the king of Sparta die, Xerxes will be defeated
    4) When Spartan's and other Greek fought in land, in sea Athineans fought Xerxe's navy. Known as "Battleship of Artemisia"
    5) In last battle 700 Thespieis fought, in the secret passage while the Spartan's fought in front.
    6) King Leonidas ordered all the others to retreat, before it was too late.
    7) 299 Spartan soldiers and Leonidas died that day. Leonidas ordered one Spartan solider to leave and tell to Sparta that they defeated.
    8) All the soldiers including Spartans they wore armor

    Why I like Sabaton:
    - Topics of their songs are mostly historic - I love history.
    - Historic songs describe defenders(Sparta, Uprising, Winged Hussars), not attacers - I like this style.
    - Tunes in the songs are cool and catchy, mixed with lyrics of these, they are additionaly moving inside, encouraging, increasing morale etc. - I love this.
    - They(the band) don't seem to be very haughty / arrogant / uppish, like most of the famous singers - I appreciate it. (but I know nothing about their personal lives - I evaluated it after their songs)
    - I don't want to dig into the politics, but they seem to be RIGHT people {in both meanings of the word "right" [which are both good and are compliments (at least for me) ] } - I appreciate it as well.
    - After all, they are just freaking awesome, including the word "Sabaton". I don't know what does it mean, perhaps something epic (you don't say).

      Except their entire Carolus Rex album is about the attackers. Any song they do about Germany during WWII is usually about them attacking, or defending. They are not "right-wing", considering they're from Sweden and follow a lot of the typical world views of Sweden.

      It's not that they write more about defenders, it's just that they made an album about last stands so it seems like they only sing about defenders.

    Among Xerxes' entourage was a former king of Sparta, called Demaratos (exiled from Sparta for reasons I don't recall right now). When the Persian generals noticed how few Spartans had come up to face them, they asked him "why". He told them that it was a combination of the Carneia (a religious festival in Sparta when war was prohibited) and the Olympic Games, a time of cease-fire, so to speak, for all of Greece to honor Zeus in the Games. When asked what the prize was for the winner of the Games, he simply replied "honor and an olive branch!".
    The generals then asked him if he lead them into a trap, asking "Why did you lead us here, to fight against men who compete against each other not for riches, not for land or office but for MERE HONOR?!?!?!"

      But there is also another reason why we celebrate the day the Italians invaded and not the end of the war or our liberation day. When the war ended here in Greece in October 1944 and we were liberated from the nazis, a series of very unfortunate events occured, known as the "Dekembriana", which led to the outburst of the Greek Civil War (1946-1949). So it is only natural for us to want to celebrate a moment in history when we were all united and fought together for our freedom than one that drove us to hate and schism.

    I listened to the song on the rowing machine in the gym. As I listened I imagined what the Spartans felt during this battle and it was like I was THERE and I knew that the only thing to do was to fight and to embrace it. So I started rowing super hard and by the end of the song I was absolutely exhausted. I hate rowing but this time I enjoyed it so much because the strength of these warriors came through this song and gave me strength. I listen to this every time I workout now and I go from feeling defeated and bored to loving it and feeling like I can lift the whole world. It helps me to embrace the pain but I do still realize that it isn’t even a fraction of what these brave men faced at Thermopylae
