[QUOTE="Rugby_Cymru, post: 105625"] I'm a big fan of Frank Miller and there's one thing you have to understand about him in regards to this project. He was in awe of the story, the myth, the legend behind the spartans and he wanted - he demanded - that an eipc be created from this. His graphic novels boast epicness, they refuse to indulge in anything half-heartedly and as far as scholars are concerned the story of the spartans are true. However, Frank Miller insisted upon one thing: Historical Innacuracies...to aide the storyline. A majority of scholars have now come to agreement that the Spartans did not fight 1 Million men - far from it. They believe that the numbers were something along the line of 10,000, but the odds are stilll hugely stacked against them. However well educated you are in this field, whatever historical inaccuracies you spot allow your disbelief to be suspended somewhat and accept that Frank Miller knew of the inaccuracies and still chose not to include them for lack of adding to the story. It's not supposed to be a biography of the Spartans. It's a telling of one the most famous stories known to us today. [/QUOTE]
