How I Defeated a Million Invaders with 300 Spartans
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 дек 2019
- The Gates of Thermopylae are where the Greek people would make their last stand against the massive invading force of King Xerxes and his million strong army. The Persians have already swept across the ancient world and none have been able to stop them. So what chance does a tiny force of 300 warriors have to hold off against such insurmountable odds? Surely Xerxes will have no trouble crushing our token resistance. There's only one thing he forgot - We are Spartans. I Am King Leonidas and this is our story.
This video is inspired by true real life events.

AOOOAH !
It makes me smile that a King named Leonidas led a relatively small group of soldiers to fight in defence of their country against an unassailable enemy, and that now, 2500 years later their sacrifice is still spoken of throughout the world, stories told, movies made, immortalised. I sometimes wonder, how would they feel knowing this?
@Compass_- it was the 300 Spartans and and like 7000 other soldiers from around the Greek world
@@joesdirt3375 yeah the numbers aren't true but it is still quite impressive IMO
@Arianit Krasniqi What is impressive you ask? Well ill tell you whats impressive. Men walked into death with no fear and died for their country. You can argue others have done this as well, but few have walked into death knowing that every soldier around them was going to die and that there was NO chance at survival. Many have ran into battle confidently and with pride, but they think they will win. That is whats impressive, with no hope and knowing that their death was near they ran in. Most men would falter and run, like you or even I, but not them. They are the spartans
@Arianit Krasniqi This is whats impressive: After the betrayal by Ephialtes, Leonidas gave the orfer to retreat to his 7000 forces. His 300 bodyguards, some slaves and a few others stayed behijd to hold them off. Including him. Its impressive that a 7000 strong army held off a more than 70000 strong army for 3 days and looked to keep holding. If Ephialtes hadnt of betrayed them, they most likely would have held.
@Arianit Krasniqi Yes they were the black sheep but that's because they had odd customs and they dominated the other city states for a very long time. When it comes to them joining Persia, It was that or have them get wiped off the map because most of the spartan warriors were dead after the battles. That's like getting mad that Cincinnati joined an invading country after all the State and National guard died, WTF else are they gonna do. Also, they aren't criminals for joining Persia. All the city states hated each other and were barely bound together by peace treaties that they all often broke. To conclude, aint nothing wrong with fucking your battle buddy at the end of hard fight lmfao.
I pity the fool who had to count the immortals after every battle.
Fun fact: Persians has an interesting method of recording casualties, every soldier would add an arrow to a bundle (which would be totalled to the amount of men in the army) at the start of a campaign and those that survived would retrieve one upon return. The remaining arrows were those who had died/deserted/got captured.
@@irrelevant1242 Then I pity the fill who had to put the correct amount of arrows. Lol

1) Somehow, someway, Spartans put their Kings body’s retrieval as their main priority, showing the love and respect they have for him.
2) When Leo died, it was the spirits of his fellow Spartans taking his spirit off the field, yet again showing the love, loyalty, and respect they kept for him, in life and now death.

Asking the real atheist question
If not for their superstitions the Spartans would have sent their entire army, about 5000 elite hoplites, to fight at Thermopylae which would have stopped the Persian advance dead in its tracks. That's the sad irony of Thermopylae, that it was so great and so brave a sacrifice that could have been entirely avoided if not for superstition and squabbling.
@@ddandymann And yet, it was the sacrifice at Thermopylae which defined what was the 'West' to the people in Europe. At the times, people would've more likely shifted into the hands of the Persians-just telling themselves that it was normal for a stronger country to devour a weaker. But the unity that Europeans felt in this instance is what would ultimately save their entire culture even when the war persisted afterwards, and would be passed on in stories throughout the ages.

Alot of people glorify battle but its nothing but low class people fighting other low class people, with the high class people standing very little to no danger, quite sad.
@@xxjr8axx You might want to check on this again, my friend. There are a lot of examples of "high class" people fighting, for example, roman equites(horses are damn expensive to keep) or the very spartans in this video who were the true citizens of sparta and her warriors while you had the perioikoi and helots suplementing the rest of the army. This is not even mentioning knights and their retinues during the middle ages or the soldiers from other city-states who would usually pay for their own equipment, though there were poorer people within this last group, they'd usually be used as light infantry or skirmishers and not the hoplites themselves
@@McLeod1703 The knights during the middle ages rarely died in combat, they were captured then ransomed off to their lord, unlike peasants that were just killed on the spot. The roman equites very often didnt press a attack or just ran away, the romans were not know for having good calvary, they relied on low class germans and gauls for this and for doing the dying. Finally for the greeks the spartans were a exception, the spartans enslaved to many that no spartan actually had to work, not to mention that the spartans were inflated and ultimately beaten by the thebans and alexander didn't even bother conquering them, preferring to leave them as a boogieman for the rest of greece to fear

when Persia same ashore
heeding Leonidas call
the Spartans went to war"
Joined by their brothers, a few against the fateful horde
Hellenic hearts are set aflame, the hot gates call their name
A final Stand,
Stop the Persians,
Spear in Hand,
Form a wall,
Live to fall,
And Live forever!
Ah yes Sabaton
SPARTA! HELLAS! THEN, AND AGAIN, SING OF 300 MEN!
Leonidas: *dies*
Persia: YESSSS
Leonidas: we were only 300 Spartans
Persia: so
Sparta: HOW ABOUT AGAINST 10,000 HUH?
They were not 300 they were 1000
ye they actually were about 1000
@@marcoalen3823 Their was only 300 Spartans, and the other 700 were other greeks
Κωνσταντίνε Εφθιμίου σεν ήταν 1000 ήταν 7300 300 σπαρτιάτες και 7000 θεσποιπείς που έφυγαν
Romans could not care less as history shows lol

Stelios: "It's an honour to die at your side"

Still the most tear-jerking, bromance filled moment of movie history
greeks were know for bisexuality
they're even given dildo type things in the army

O' stranger passerby, go tell the Spartans; that by our laws here we lie.
Very intrested clip i really like it. If it mean something to you, you have my fully support. One another time thanks for such a good video.
Ok
Just watched The Last Samurai, which referenced the battle at Thermopylae a few times. Really cool getting some more historic lore on it.
“I witnessed the Christmas seize fire, WWII.” plz
Charlie Goldman I think you meant WWI, right?

That would be a nice video.

GOOSEBUMPS EVERYWHERE!!!! SOOO SOOO SOOO STRONG! BRAVE! A REAL KING!
I was there, not at that time, but I was there. The sign stated 300 spartans vs 1,000,000 persians and claims to be the burial side of Leonidas (who was actually buried back at home). Funny eh? One would think the greeks would be more precise with their own facts. These days its pretty wide and not so narrow anymore, and there are hot springs where you can bath in the winter, which, some dudes, regularily do.
The real numbers were like 7500-10,000 greeks (not just spartans) vs maybe 50,000 - 100,000 persians, which was actually pretty beatable at that place, if it wouldnt have been for the traitor.
No, there were no 10 thousand Greeks. More like 300 spartans, 700 Thespians. Persians had more than 100 thousand troops. The Persian Empire was the biggest of its time.
@Pedro Abreu exactly. The rest were in the Navy protecting the beaches from naval invasion.
Persian's trick to be precise. It's just one greek falsely told the army guarding the goat pass that the spartans was getting defeated. so the army guarding the goat pass lost heart and ran home to regroup, causing them to get trapped.
@@user-sl7rx4jp3t Sorry. No. Thats just wrong. There were 300 spartans and 700 thespians, but there were many, many supporting troops. The ones on the boats werent accounted for here.
Next to the the famous 300 Spartans, 500 warriors from Tegea, 500 from Mantinea, 120 from Arcadian Orchomenos, 1000 from the rest of Arcadia, 200 from Phlius, 80 from Mycenae, 400 Corinthians, 400 Thebans, 1000 Phocians, 700 Thespians, and the Opuntian Locrians participated (that we know for sure, plus other forces of unknown numbers. Estimated guesses of actual experts lie between 6.500 and 12.000.
@@obiwanfisher537 I'd say approximately 7k but 1k on the final day
The important thing is that they were able to hold Olympics.

Damn that was well told good story
the end litterally gave me goosebumps
Fun fact:
The reason persians found the passage is a villager named ephialtes.
Aka the judus...the Benedict Arnold. The takashi 69 of the 300...
@@rockywilliams8433 that was a good one, you got me on that Takashi 69 of the 300 ,LMAO :D
Actually this story is a mere myth than the truth. Herodotus, the first historian from which we know everything about the greco-persian war wrote nothing about him. And trust me, as a greek he would have pointed it out if they lost to a betrayal. They were rather overwhelmed due to good persian scouting and a misconception from the Phokis soldiers, who thought they faced the whole persian army, which is why they retreated and things went bad for the greeks. Damn olive trees that blocked the sight :D
