1) The worst enemy of a Greek is his own self
2) everything can happen but the Greeks eventually will win
You forgot to mention that the Spartans benefited with the power to slow down time for those sick slowmo shots
Even though the passage was narrow , Greeks could block only half the width of it , the other half was blocked by Leonidas masiive balls.
Thespians were only ones that literally lost all soldiers they sent.
Thespians lost 700 hoplites, all of them died in battle and those 700 were entire Thespian army.
They sacrified far more than Spartans.
This was first and only time Spartans fought to the last man but for Thespians it wasn't.
Thespians fought to the last man before and after Thermopylae.
Thebans were so known to fight to the bitter end and were better soldiers than Spartans.
Thank you for this. I've always wondered what was real and what was fiction in all those movies and retellings – obviously those "monsters" were fake lol, but other parts as well
I love pizza and weed and food
