Who else from that series would I be anyway?

It's about 3:15, off to bed now. Oh and we saw 300, it was nice, very epic. However the historical facts about the battle tell a slightly different story. Mainly that Leonidas was not alone, but rather he was joined not only by arcadians and other greeks on land, but by the most powerful navy in all of Greece, the Athenian navy. The Athenian navy, in conjunction with the storm held off the Persian Navy, allowing Leonidas to make his last stand. Additionally, if one can believe wikipedia, 700 thespians and 900 helots(spartan slaves) stayed with the 300 spartans to make their last stand. So they were not as alone as the movie makes it seem, however this takes away nothing from what they did, as they stared down a force of at least 500,000 and up to 5 million, that's 5,000,000 men.

Of course no one mentions Themistocles, the leader of Athens, who forged the coalition of greeks that fought at Thermopylae. Yes, that's right, Leonidas wasn't the one who made the decision, Themistocles was. He's also the one who commanded the Athenian and greek combined navy at the battle of salamis, which destroyed the persian naval fleet and saved greece for good. So taking all this into account, 300 is great, and a must see, but keep in mind that the real battle was far more complex than the movie can depict.

To Bed with me now. It's nearly 4:00, where does the time go?
