Later, a runner came and reported the news of this siege to Leonidas. In the movie, Daxos says this, but in reality Leonidas, after learning that he is besieged, tells his allies that they can leave if they want. Some of his allies accept Leonidas’ offer and leave the battlefield. It’s worth noting that not all fighters on the field are fighting either. Some were tasked with guarding the mountain pass that was likely to be besieged by the Persians. There were also some traitors among them. These traitors played an important role in encircling the army by showing the pass to Xerxes. Yes, it’s true that the movie started with “300 Spartans”, but the number does not end there. The army that went to the field in the war was more than 5000. Considering the over 500 slaves serving each Spartan warrior, the army’s number in the field was quite high. Since 300 Spartans offers an opportunity to take a look at one of the most important events in history, it is necessary to know which of the subjects in the film are true and which are false. To give a clue, the Spartans were indeed as brave warriors as they were told. Of course, the film is not concerned with giving a history lesson. Therefore, it is not based on a real history, but on Miller’s comic book of the same name. There are historical inconsistencies in the comics. In the movie, which focuses on the Persian-Greek wars that lasted for a long time, the Persian King Xerxes wants Sparta to submit to his rule, but he does not accept this because the Spartans are proud warriors. King Leonidas, ignoring the objections of the Senate, decides to face Xerxes’ dense population of soldiers. Frank Miller’s comic book of the same name, which made the film meet with the audience, was inspired by the events that took place in Ancient Greece in 480 BC. However, the film was not made to give historical information. This means that the events in the movie are not entirely true.
