Ephialtes and the Battle of Thermopylae (480 BC)

Zack Snyder film 300 released in 2006 depicts a sensational explanation of the Thermopylae fight under the command of Persia under the command of Xerxes in 480 BC and by The Sparta King, Leonidas . A Greek soldier was led. However, this movie is not based on history, it is based on Frank Miller's graphic novel. Also, it is natural that many scenes in the movie are historically incorrect. Some of these scenes include betrayal of Sparta by Ephialtes, but it goes without saying that it is not a humpback whale that actually looks like a lord of the rings.

Persia and Greece are already in conflict (as mentioned above), the marathon campaign (490 BC), the battle of Salamis (480 BC), the battle of Athens in Greece (480 BC), and the fight against Greece. King Leonidas and his 300 Spartans. Persia conquered and burned the largest city of Greece, Athens. One year later, in 333 BC, Alexandre again faced the army of Darius at Issos led by Darius himself. Darius's army far exceeds Alexander College, Issus is a small place where Darius can not utilize the number of his troops. Alexander won Issus' battle and continued his conquest

It is an era when Persia ruled the world. Greece fell sharply. It suffered great damage in the fight of the marathon (490 BC), the battle of Thermopylae (480 BC), and the battle of Salamis (480 BC). In addition, during the Peloponnesus War (431-404 BC), Greece also experienced a civil war between Athens and Sparta, the two most powerful cities. We can see the ancient world is like these years. You can see how powerful the Persian Empire is. There is no doubt that they were superpowers of that era. They dominate over half of the known world. This is a powerful empire with a powerful army. Compared with today's country, its borders are spreading from a part of India and Pakistan. These include Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, Kuwait, Jordan, Israel, Libya and Egypt.

What made ancient Greece so incredible? In 480 BC, 60 thousand to 100 thousand Persians, mainly composed of slaves and mercenaries, arrived at the strait of Thermopylae and realized the vision of the dynasty of Persian Emperor Zelcus I. For the empire straddling the three continents, some isolated backwater cities that conquer this pretty idyllic archipelago should be children's games. So what explains the failure of the Persian gods who will not beat thousands of Clark shepherds? Is location information a limiting factor?

In the battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC, the Greek city state federation fought with the Persian army invaded by the route of Thermopylae. The number of Greeks far exceeds one of the most famous sustainances in history. A small unit led by Spartan King Reonidas blocked the sole course of the large Xerxes army I could pass through. The Persians succeeded in breaking the Greeks, but suffered great losses and was very disproportionate for the Greeks. Local residents Efiats betrayed the Greeks and revealed the mountain path leading to the Greek line. King Leonidas disbanded other units, left 300 volunteers with 300 Spartans, 400 Tabans, and 700 Tapians. They knew that it meant their own death, but they secured the retreat of other Greek forces.
