![]() ![]() If instead what you’re into is a bunch of mostly naked men throwing down like a bunch of stone cold badasses, then you will find plenty of that. I won’t judge this comic for its inaccuracy, though, just keep in mind that’s what you’re here for, you won’t be getting it. So I’m going to apologize in advance that, yes, I’m going to bore you with some actual history, because I feel like it’s pretty important when talking about this comic. So it’ s safe to say I know a few th ings about ancient Greece, and certainly enough to know that historically accurate is not a term anyone would use to describe this series. Let me preface this by saying I was actually a history major in college, with a focus on the ancient near east. The Spartans met the Persians at Thermopylae, which basically translates to “The Hot Gates,” and held them off for three days before – spoiler alert – finally being defeated. The entire series is about a single, real historical battle from ancient Greek history, where an army of Greeks led by 300 Spartan warriors faced off against the massively superior numbers of the Persian armies led by their king Xerxes. ![]()
