300 Spartans Movie is brilliant and has renewed interest in military service with Honour | | Warner Bros. Pictures' 300 - 2007 | |
At the famous ancient battle of Thermopylae 300 Spartans and their King stood their ground, against impossible odds, knowing they faced certain death, to delay the Persians in order to allow the allied Greeks to prepare for the Persian invasion and were killed to the last man.With time to prepare the allied Greeks defeated the Persians. In their honour there is an epitaph on a monument
erected at the site of the battle, which quotes Herodotus’ work The Histories (7.228), to the Spartans: Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by,
that here, obedient to their laws, we lie.
