Not really. It was about 300 spartans and about 7000 greek allies and auxiliaries.
The entire point of the movie was that it was a propaganda story told by the survivor to hype up the greek army at the battle of plataea. It's told like a legend and presented as such.

Yes. The Spartan phalanx was just that good. The men were ready to die at any time for their fellow soldiers and their people, death was in fact seen as a great honor.

they had terrain advantage and for the Persians it was literally just "you have to get through this singular point which you can only send a certain amount of guys at at a time and the spartans/greeks just will not let you through" up until some guy showed them the way around so they could flank them and then it was pretty much over

A shitton of historical fiction movies always had some weird b-plot to give the movie more drama during that time. One I never cared for even though its not historical is the Arwen subplot in LOTR. It was at best, some excerpt of events in the appendices but it takes up a good 20-30 minutes of screentime in each movie.

lmao at retards blaming companies for raising prices on their consoles and ignoring how DRAM has increased 400%+ in price. that's why they're jacking the prices and why valve hasn't launched the steam machine. AI datacenters have outbid every company on the planet and bought up all the available wafers at the manufacturers. the entire thing is booked for 2026. so you can't even order more chips to lower prices. you're stuck with these prices for years until either the AI bubble pops or new manufacturing comes online (takes 3-5 years to build a new fab).

No theres a whole good 20 minutes in Two Towers where Elrond is telling Arwen shes going to die if she waits for Aragorn. That leads into her leaving and then Elrond talks to Galadriel about what happens if Sauron wins. Then they send the elves to Helms Deep. In ROTK Arwen is about to leave to Valinor but runs back to Rivendell and argues with Elrond. Also Aragorn has numerous nightmares and visions of Arwen dying.

They have to include a love/sex/relationship subplot in blockbusters to not entirely filter the female audience. Even when women are a minor part of the intended audience it's still massive between date movies, lazy weekend movies, watching with family, etc.
It's all designed by committee where they ran calculations and estimated the profit in having a set number of minutes dedicated to the mandatory love subplot to make it bearable for women while remaining short enough to only filter a tiny number of autistic men.
Same thing in AAA vidya btw.

>In a posthumously published fragment, he deplores a lost historical opportunity: "It was much more fortunate if Persians became masters (Herr) of the Greeks, than the very Romans." (SW, 8/65) In this note Nietzsche reveals, once more, his radical opposition to the Greek metaphysical thought, as developed by Socrates and Plato, which later, by supremacy of the Greek culture inside the Roman Empire, became dominant and then integrated into the other-worldly, 'nihilistic', tenets of Christianity. While, in his view, the dominance of the positive outlooks of the Persians toward worldly life and time would have prevented the prevalence of such a sinister event in human history.

basically, though the ones who stayed behind to do a final banzai charge and buy time were not just 300 spartans. There were hundreds or thousands of Greeks from other states, and probably the Spartans' slaves too

They didn't really "hold their own" moreso they fought a rearguard action in favorable terrain to delay the inevitable. The Persians did end up burning Athens to the ground and didn't get pushed back for a couple of years
