[QUOTE="O'Rothlain, post: 105627"] I watched a documentary on this battle and I thought they actually estimated the numbers of the Persians to several hundred thousand. This is a story recorded for us by Herodotus. As you know he is both called the "Father of History" and the "Father of Lies." Why? because he may have exagerated...we'll never know. What Frank Miller did with this story was to take it from a storytellers point of view...not a historians point of view. Stories like this would have inspired the next generation, and so on, of Spartans...as it does for us today. If you look at this film as how this story might have been related to a group of adolescent Spartans-in-training then you will fully grasp the awe that is created with this film.
