True, but toward the end of the fight the main Commander told all man to retreat one unit at a time. In the end only the 300 Spartans(and 1000 other solders), that fight the Persians. I watch a lot of history channel.

In the end, it is true that there were only 300 Spartans, but even the movie 300 acknoledged they weren't alone. The idea of the 300 comes from Leaonidas ordering all the other Greeks to leave, which left the Spartans and a few others.
The Spartans also held every advantage possible except for numbers. They had better armor, better equipment, better training, more skillful, topographical, and just about everything else. It mainly came down to a relativly small number of very highly trained full plated armor clad soldiers versus good to average trained light armor clad soldiers. Plate and chain armor will take a pounding, but leather won't.

I have heard people call it a myth. I guess some people here the story of 300 men vs. an army of over a lot(can't remember number right now......5:42 in the morning, hehe).
and think it's a myth because it to cool to be real. Plus some may have read the [SIZE=-1]Frank Miller comic book base and the store and also think it's a myth too.[/SIZE]

Perhaps the allegations of "myth" have to do with embellishing on the story of what these 300 Spartans accomplished?

People? Like in "no academic credentials people"?
Ya, people that just here the story, no Academic credential, but you know I wouldn't be surprised if there were one or two out there that did have Academic credentials and still believe it was a myth....:areyoucra

Actually, they was wearing full plated armor. What they wore in the movie 300 would have had the Persian army laughing. Heavy armor consist of much more than a helmet, cloak, and speedos.

Classic Greek wrestling also took place in the nude.
I remember going to see Troy with my girlfriend and telling her that the story of the battle of Thermopylae would have made a much better film. I was thinking of a more historically accurate depiction, but my precognition of Hollywood films is still on point.
Just so you know I also predicted a musical using pop songs way back when I was in high school 93 - 96 (Moulin Rouge), a remake of War of the Worlds, the movie Troy itself, and several others. I told my brother and girlfriend that they would make a movie out of Boise State's football season last year after their excitng bowl win and just saw on ESPN last week that the rights have been sold. I am making my next prediction right here, I would like to see an accurate protrayel of the Roman Empire during the Attila the Hun period. I see the title as "Scourge of God" or something like that and Attila portrayed as more then just a mindless barbarian. I'm thinking that Peter Jackson would be a good director, but I also think that David Fincher could bring a unique take on historical battle scenes.

^That would be a neat movie to go see. And I too would like to see Attila has move then just a mindless barbarian. I mean to have the largest Empire in the know world at one time takes some brains, and he was good to his people, and didn't care what race you where, you you would fight for him and where a good warrior you were welcome.

A better Alexander movie should be required every other generation. Oliver Stone's version is useless.
In fact, one movie for each conquerer! Cheers!
