A coalition of about 7,000 Greek Warriors led by King Leonidas of Sparta met a Persian force of at least 100,000 men, but it may very well have been even more. The Greeks met them at Thermopylae and were successful for the first 3 days of fighting, but once the Persians discovered a path that outflanked the heavy front line of hoplites, Leonidas ordered the majority of the Greek army to retreat, and covered that retreat to the death with 300 of his Spartans and with about another 1,500-2,000 Greeks, most of which were Thebans, Thespians, and Helots.

One thing that I don’t understand is everyone says the movie 300 only makes it look like there was 300 Spartans, first of all the movie is called 300. It’s only from the perspective of the 300 Spartans, if you watch the film closely you obviously see the Arcadians fighting but you also hear Leonids say in the movie “ dispatch the phocians to the goat path” which is historically accurate. Also, when most of the other soldiers are leaving you see thousands of Greeks leaving before they are encircled so the movie is really just about the Spartans and the battle from their perspective

The 300 hundred refers to the end of the battle when xerxes discovered the secret pass leonidas relieved most of his army keeping just his 300 spartan guard and some loyal thebians.

Ok let’s not pretend 7000 men going up against 100000 soldiers isn’t impressive still for 3 days

Full spartan citizens were all warriors. These men did only represent a small portion of the population of ancient Sparta, but all full citizens of Sparta were warriors.

Greeks never said there were 300. In Thermopylae Greece there’s are statues for both Spartans and the rest of Greeks.

Thebians 400 hoplites were captured by Greek allies. Thebes gave earth and water to the Persians in order to be allies.
