I've just watched that movie, and I got a cool idea. Let's make a kingdom filled with 300 strong skilled veterans! I mean, we could totally own the Persians if they'd come. I think.
And I mean, we'd be Spartans so we could build walls from the armies we kill. Hax, you know!

Freakin A, no women?  I'm outta here.

oh septim baby your sexy

Lol.. 3 players in a kd reminds me of The three musketeers of Hankypanky's first kd..

no lol juganitorii make up the spartans, there like 3 - 5 people

r u stupid wat kind of maths is that!!!.......the freakin spartans were maki walls out of bodies!..........remeb the persian dude said "the armies of a 1000 nations descend upon u"!

there for i wud say a modest estimate wud put the persian at 500k troops divided by 300 it wud b a ratio of

spartans/persians

300/ 500k

3/5000

ROUGHLY I WUD SAY --------1/1666

These are the estimated numbers that fought against the 40,000 (yes about that many....there werent even that number in the entire Persian army combined......and back then the battles werent THAT big)

Your kidding right? Iread about that battle in history last year. 1,000,000 (approx) might have been 2 mil but deffiniatly not 40k persian soldiers (2-3 mil if you want to count the people carrying food and and stuff i think it was). The whole greek army was about 5,600 (300 being spartans) that makes the persian to greek ratio to 178.5 persians to every greek

the persian to spartan ratio would be 3333.33 persians to every spartan

yes that sounds better. sorry for jumping down your throught because of your msitake :)

haha the movie 300 (dont get me wrong cuz it is also one of my most favorate movies) is not very historically accurate. Exact numbers are still not known of the entire persian force, all that ppl can do is speculate from the few different sources where the numbers have been passed down through stories and recorded (therefore leaving alot of room for exaggeration and errors in the true number).

@ Orcinus "the armies of a 1000 nations descend upon u"-- no where does that give a number of the size of the persian force!

"there for i wud say a modest estimate wud put the persian at 500k troops divided by 300 it wud b a ratio of "-- LMAO just because you have seen the movie, in no way does it justify you to be able to put an estimate an the numbers of a battle that happened (I am not saying that your estimate is wrong but becareful of your wording =P).

Thanks for proving my point on this Charley and Killstone! As I said, the numbers I used are CONSERVATIVE numbers of what were used in the battle at Thermopylae.  Yes the persians only used about 40,000 of their troops at this battle but the point is that they had the entire persian force to use, but they only ended up needing the 40k to win it. Because of that fact, a conservative estimate of the persians to Greek/Spartans is 100:1. There is no denying that Spartans were the best warriors and they do deserve the glory of leading the stand to the death at Thermopylae, but dont think for a second that they would have lasted as long as they did without the 5000+ other Greek volunteers who stayed behind to fight alongside them. DONT BELIEVE EVERTHING YOU SEE IN MOVIES!
