How historically accurate is 300?
The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its visuals and style but criticized its historical inaccuracies, including its depiction of the Persians, which some characterized as bigoted or Iranophobic.
Is the story of the 300 Spartans true?
In short, not as much as suggested. It is true there were only 300 Spartan soldiers at the battle of Thermopylae but they were not alone, as the Spartans had formed an alliance with other Greek states. It is thought that the number of ancient Greeks was closer to 7,000. The size of the Persian army is disputed.
How long did the 300 Spartans last?
The Battle of Thermopylae. At Thermopylae in the late summer of 480 the Spartan king Leonidas held out for three days with a mere 300 hoplites against thousands upon thousands of the best of the Great King's troops.
Did any of the 300 Spartans survive?
While the majority of these warriors met their end in the pass, fighting valiantly against the Persian horde, Aristodemus was one of the few who lived to see another day. His survival, however, was not celebrated as a stroke of fortune but rather viewed with suspicion and disdain by his fellow Spartans.
