for anyone who thinks they were quoting the movie 300 with "we fight in the shade" and "dine in hell" they weren't. Those are actual Spartan quotes. Spartan Rhetoric was badass.
related fun fact: When Philipos of Macedon, father of Alexander the great came to conquer sparta, he sent a letter to the spartans saying "if I invade Sparta, I will rape you women and burn your city, surrender now". The spartans answered "if."
Not from Leonidas, the thing about the arrows in the shade was from a Spartan guy that was combing his hair and guarding the wall (yes there were a wall) of the path when the persian envoy came. The scene described by Herodotus is very similar to the movie, but the wall was made of stones and not by corpses.

History is nothing if it is taught without passion. Read first hand accounts, see it with their eyes, smell the blood, sweat, the fear and the fire, then you will know history.
Imagine being so badass that people write a song about a battle you """lost""", talking about how cool you are for basically willingly losing that battle.
I am pretty sure they did not want to loose. "willingly losing" true in that context they knew there is no way winning this. Retreating would have been also a defeat, but an even worse one.

My small town in Sicily (in the province of Messina) was founded by the Spartans 2400 years ago. Legend says that it was founded by Agatirso, son of Aeolus. Happy to honor my Hellenic ancestry!
If you haven't, read Gates of Fire. It's a novel about the 300 fighting in Thermopylae. It really puts into perspective how brutal Spartan training is, honing not just the body but the mind for all manner of hardships. It's often considered mandatory reading for anyone joining the army because it stresses how every man and woman of Sparta so valued their freedom and country that they would rather die than submit to another nation. Despite their reputation, Spartans truly loved their nation and each other, which is why they willingly fought to the last man.
"Spartaaaaans? What is your profession?" Greetings from Greece! Καλησπέρα από Ελλάδα! Thanks for honoring the history of my country with this fantastic song
Christ what is it about the Winged Hussars that excites you people to the point of near orgasm? Why are you shouting about them here and not the song entitled *_WINGED HUSSARS_*?
For the two comments above me - That Quote was stated from Winston Churchill for the Greeks bravery against the Axis powers, giving the Allies their first Victory. Hence, If it was not for Greece's intervention and struggle to fight against the Axis Powers, Hitler would probably have won WWII. So do show some respect.
Well scientists who believed in it to said it is fake (are now fired for telling the truth) things are missing like the links to transfer human bodys works very different then apes and they are smarter with their minds and a lot of other things.
There is a song about that as well, called "I'm My Own Grandpa". If your son marries your father's widow it can happen. Especially if it is the "young second wife" instead of your mother.
Some American soldiers and Marines like going to the Middle East as opposed to staying in the US to train because it doesn't rain or get cold there. Watch "Why Veterans aren't afraid of ISIS" by Angry cops. I've also heard Marines say they'd rather go on another deployment to Iraq than go through boot camp again.
roadhouse699 yea that’s true but cmon. The Spartans killed their own babies that were weak and went to boot camp at 7. Doesn’t get much tougher than that
Guys I am from Greece And I know some things about this fight. Even if Spartans knew that they were going to die that day the stayed and fought until no one of them was still alive. Spartans were one of the best in the Persia's War they stayed and fight a lot more soldiers than them and it was really heroic. They may not manage to win but they will always be remembered by people of older and younger genies. Ephialtes doesn't worth to be called as Hellenic or Spartan. Spartans created a strategy that would cyrcle Persians and hit them from everywhere but Ephialtes, a local disabled person knew the secret passages of the area and drove Perses on the Greeks/Spartans back. That's how Greeks/Spartans plan was destroyed. That's why the singers say that Know his name Know his shame Will last forever. you will all wonder why he did that. Its simple. Because of his disability he wasn't allowed to join the army and other politic things that made him angry and feel a about Greeks/Spartans. That's why he did what he did. After the war Spartans like the song says. One more things. Persia's king went in Leonidas and told him that he wouldn't kill any one of them if they gave the city to him. Leonidas a fantastic answer to him. It was in greek language and that was the thing that made Persian's angry.
If he’d been disabled from birth he would’ve been abandoned and left to die. If something happened as an adult he would’ve been used as an example of what not to do, his rank decided what he could do with politics. I doubt anyone truly wonders why he did it, we know there are simply people without honor. They may have died but no one ever forgets the underdog.
@@XafornThe real Ephialtes wasn't deformed. He wasn't even a Spartan. He was just a Greek farmer who lived nearby, and knew of the old goat path. He betrayed Greece to get a reward from the Persians. The real Ephialtes betrayed everybody out of pure greed.

You should look into the battle of the alamo. The 100 Texans in the early 1800s fended off scores of Spanish soldiers until everyone in the fort was dead. There were some real heroes in that battle like Davy crocket
When i went to a Sabaton concert and this song started suddenly all the fans became spartans shouting "HOH HAH" some even began to hold spears and hoplons, and for some inexplicable reason the sky was darkened by arrows what a concert it was
Incedible song! As Sabaton noticed in album's booklet, there were 700 Thespians who died in Thermopyles, without took any glory for their sacrifice. All we know the 300 Spartans, who had law to not return and die in battle if they didn't win, so it was duty their death and they hadn't any other choice, finally, but no one knows the 700 Thespians who sacrified only because they wanted... I'm glad that Sabaton wrote notice that "Spartans were certainly not alone"... Greetings from Hellas! See you in March in Athens!
Δικιο εχει ο κ. Ταξιαρχης. Δεν ηταν μονο οι Σπαρτιατες εκει, αλλα οταν εμαθαν οτι οι Περσες θα τους χτυπησουν απο πισω υποχωρησαν, αφηνοντας τους Σπαρτιατες μονους. Τωρα για τους 700 Θεσπιους δεν ξερω ποσοι εκατσαν μεχρι το τελος
In total the number at Thermopylae was around 4,000, Herodotus and Plutarch have different numbers for that, but it's believed to have been 4,000 led by Leonidas with Demophilus. When the Greeks were betrayed by Ephialtes, leonidas ordered the helot troops that he brought with him and other forces to leave. Demophilus stayed with his troops along with 100s of others, even some helots stayed. The goal Leonidas was to keep a small yet strong contingent at Thermopylae to fight so he could give the Greek troops time to escape. He didn't want all the men to perish. The main thing also is that, it never had been written in recorded history as to whether or not they actually always fought to the death, but we can confirm that at Thermopylae they surely did. You should totally check out the song 40:1 by them. They talk about a battle between German and polish troops during the beginning phases of the German invasion of Poland, in the battle the polish had 1,000 men going against the 40,000 German troops. It's a pretty awesome song!
Of course there was a law saying you will either come as a winner or dead. Search the phrase "Ή τάν ή επί τάς". You should better know that. Although Leonidas asked the remaining men to stay with him, he made clear that everyone else who didn't want to fight by his side was free to go. *BUT* ! Those who return from a battle defeated and not dead are being judged by the Spartan society really hard for their cowardliness.
as far as I know there were 2 Spartan survivors (I think both were due to injury with one literally having both his eyes blinded ) and they were shamed until the battle of Platea where they redeemed themselves

This is Latin though not greek
If you haven't, read Gates of Fire. It's a novel about the 300 fighting in Thermopylae. It really puts into perspective how brutal Spartan training is, honing not just the body but the mind for all manner of hardships. It's often considered mandatory reading for anyone joining the army because it stresses how every man and woman of Sparta so valued their freedom and country that they would rather die than submit to another nation. Despite their reputation, Spartans truly loved their nation and each other, which is why they willingly fought to the last man.
I know the Spartans thought they would be remembered for their stand but I wonder if they imagined they would be remembered for this long?
I think they would hope so
They may not have imagined, but they would have been glad to know
A battle that defined our world
yes I do believe
One could argue Europe would be Persian today if Xerxes hadn't been stopped by the Greeks.
They knew they would live forever in our hearts. Death is quick, but Honor and Glory are eternal.

@@tristanmitchell1242 yea im not gonna bother
fun fact: Spartan training was so intense that actual war seemed child's play to them
Some American soldiers and Marines like going to the Middle East as opposed to staying in the US to train because it doesn't rain or get cold there. Watch "Why Veterans aren't afraid of ISIS" by Angry cops. I've also heard Marines say they'd rather go on another deployment to Iraq than go through boot camp again.
roadhouse699 yea that’s true but cmon. The Spartans killed their own babies that were weak and went to boot camp at 7. Doesn’t get much tougher than that
@@fast6232 That's also true. What I'm saying is that history's most successful armies train harder than they fight.

roadhouse699 wish we had a war to fight in😔😔
Guys I am from Greece And I know some things about this fight. Even if Spartans knew that they were going to die that day the stayed and fought until no one of them was still alive. Spartans were one of the best in the Persia's War they stayed and fight a lot more soldiers than them and it was really heroic. They may not manage to win but they will always be remembered by people of older and younger genies. Ephialtes doesn't worth to be called as Hellenic or Spartan. Spartans created a strategy that would cyrcle Persians and hit them from everywhere but Ephialtes, a local disabled person knew the secret passages of the area and drove Perses on the Greeks/Spartans back. That's how Greeks/Spartans plan was destroyed. That's why the singers say that
Know his name
Know his shame
Will last forever.
you will all wonder why he did that. Its simple. Because of his disability he wasn't allowed to join the army and other politic things that made him angry and feel a about Greeks/Spartans. That's why he did what he did.
After the war Spartans like the song says.
One more things. Persia's king went in Leonidas and told him that he wouldn't kill any one of them if they gave the city to him. Leonidas a fantastic answer to him. It was in greek language and that was the thing that made Persian's angry.
If he’d been disabled from birth he would’ve been abandoned and left to die. If something happened as an adult he would’ve been used as an example of what not to do, his rank decided what he could do with politics. I doubt anyone truly wonders why he did it, we know there are simply people without honor. They may have died but no one ever forgets the underdog.
@@XafornThe real Ephialtes wasn't deformed. He wasn't even a Spartan. He was just a Greek farmer who lived nearby, and knew of the old goat path. He betrayed Greece to get a reward from the Persians. The real Ephialtes betrayed everybody out of pure greed.

You should look into the battle of the alamo. The 100 Texans in the early 1800s fended off scores of Spanish soldiers until everyone in the fort was dead. There were some real heroes in that battle like Davy crocket

As Sabaton noticed in album's booklet, there were 700 Thespians who died in Thermopyles, without took any glory for their sacrifice. All we know the 300 Spartans, who had law to not return and die in battle if they didn't win, so it was duty their death and they hadn't any other choice, finally, but no one knows the 700 Thespians who sacrified only because they wanted... I'm glad that Sabaton wrote notice that "Spartans were certainly not alone"...
Greetings from Hellas! See you in March in Athens!

In total the number at Thermopylae was around 4,000, Herodotus and Plutarch have different numbers for that, but it's believed to have been 4,000 led by Leonidas with Demophilus. When the Greeks were betrayed by Ephialtes, leonidas ordered the helot troops that he brought with him and other forces to leave. Demophilus stayed with his troops along with 100s of others, even some helots stayed. The goal Leonidas was to keep a small yet strong contingent at Thermopylae to fight so he could give the Greek troops time to escape. He didn't want all the men to perish. The main thing also is that, it never had been written in recorded history as to whether or not they actually always fought to the death, but we can confirm that at Thermopylae they surely did. You should totally check out the song 40:1 by them. They talk about a battle between German and polish troops during the beginning phases of the German invasion of Poland, in the battle the polish had 1,000 men going against the 40,000 German troops. It's a pretty awesome song!
Of course there was a law saying you will either come as a winner or dead. Search the phrase "Ή τάν ή επί τάς". You should better know that. Although Leonidas asked the remaining men to stay with him, he made clear that everyone else who didn't want to fight by his side was free to go. *BUT* ! Those who return from a battle defeated and not dead are being judged by the Spartan society really hard for their cowardliness.
as far as I know there were 2 Spartan survivors (I think both were due to injury with one literally having both his eyes blinded ) and they were shamed until the battle of Platea where they redeemed themselves
