300 follows the story of the Battle of Thermopylae where the Greeks fought the invading Persians against great odds, but it gets history all wrong.
The 2006 historical fantasy film 300 provides a highly fictionalized retelling of the infamous Battle of Thermopylae. 300 is well-known for its unique filming techniques that make the film feel like the comic book series it is loosely based on, also called 300. While 300 is a highly entertaining film with incredible shots and strong performances, it is probably one of the most historically inaccurate movies.
9 300 Dangerously Idealizes Spartan Society The altering of the Spartan agoge rituals points to a larger issue with 300. The film tends to idealize Spartan society in a dangerous way. 300 makes the Spartans seem like a glorious group of altruistic warriors without flaw. In reality, Spartan culture was oppressive and highly prejudiced. Spartans routinely engaged in infanticide and pederasty, and they enslaved a large portion of their population.
7 300’s Persians Are Misrepresented The Persians in 300 are also strongly misrepresented. Much of the Persian army is depicted as beastly or disfigured in some way, and 300 even throws in some random giants and monsters to shake things up. It also depicts the Persian Emperor, Xerxes I , as a giant with a multitude of piercings. Xerxes was considered a God-King by the Persians, so it makes sense to exaggerate his size.
4 Leonidas Had A Larger Army And It Wasn’t Exclusively Spartan In 300, Leonidas is shown taking 300 Spartan warriors to Thermopylae and later being joined by a few thousand other Greeks. However, this number falls short of what he really took to pass. Furthermore, 300 shows almost exclusively Spartans during the actual fighting, ignoring the thousands of other Greek soldiers who gave their lives at Thermopylae.
