Athenians destroyed persians in the battle of Marathon...Spartans didnt even bothered participating in this war...It is called the first persian war..... A twist of the story has it that later ( second persian war ) Athenians threatened spartans that if they do not participate in the war they will simple leave persians march through peloponisos and sparta..Spartans were too busy preserving their local leadership so Leonidas understood that his sacrifice would leave no other choice to sparta...

and as the winged Hussars rode down the hill 3234, The remaining Spartans looked to their left to the fields of poltova only to see a hoard of Swedish pagans marching ashore. The Persians sensing that they were doomed, pooled out their secret weapon: White death and the ghost division, To many this may have been the end, but the Spartans had one trick left up their sleeve and for the final stand called upon the Swiss guard led by the lion from the north. And an army of Zulu warriors lead by Caralous rex.

related fun fact: When Philipos of Macedon, father of Alexander the great came to conquer sparta, he sent a letter to the spartans saying "if I invade Sparta, I will rape you women and burn your city, surrender now". The spartans answered "if."

Not from Leonidas, the thing about the arrows in the shade was from a Spartan guy that was combing his hair and guarding the wall (yes there were a wall) of the path when the persian envoy came. The scene described by Herodotus is very similar to the movie, but the wall was made of stones and not by corpses.

Αλλη μια λέξη που καλούσαμε τον εαυτό μας, ήταν "Ρωμιοί", οταν είχαμε 'διώξει' την λέξη "Ελληνες" γιατί την είχαμε συνδέσει με παγανισμό, ενω ήμασταν πλεον χριστιανοί. Το 1821 και μετά την επαναφέραμε, για να ξανασυνδεθούμε με την αρχαιότητα, ως "Ελληνες". Οταν οι ξένοι μας αποκαλούν "greeks", δεν τον κάνουν καθολου για να μας μειώσουν ! "Ancient Greeks" λένε τους αρχαίους Ελληνες και τους θαυμάζουν και πάρα πολύ μάλιστα. Οι Ελληνες συνδέθηκαν με πολλά ονόματα κατα τη διάρκεια όλης της ιστορία τους.

Alexander the Great You statrted war and invaded anatolia and burned sardis city. Persians reacted. And you land is occupied by turks.

Well, They Got all of Byzantine so they've pretty much won. The rest was destroyed by Attila the Hun.... Or conquered by the Ottomans...

Chris Porter That's why Darius wanted the revenge? Well , about Anatolia , Lydians under Croesus started the war against Cyrus the great. Cyrus also warned the Ionians not to help Croesus. but I don't think persian invasion was even a thing compare to Greek , Roman and Colonial empires that destroyed , genocided , massacred the whole world and vanished many cultures and forced their own culture and language.

Chris Porter You conclude what you want from my words. for herodotus , the description of the revolt is intimately linked to a wider historiographic objevtive : to explain the origins of the war between persians and the greeks. And in his mind it is clear that the ionians , for whom he did not harbor the least sympathy , played a despicable role : their revolt brought on devastation.(V.28).The burning of sardis offered the persians a pretext for launching a war of reprisals against Eretria and Athens(V.102), and the sending of Athenian and Eretrian reinforcements "was the beginning of trouble not only for greece, but for the rest of the world as well" (V.97). Aristagoras is presented as a crazy man, guided at first by the fear of losing power at Miletus and ready to involve the Greeks in a hopeless revolt (V.35) : when he urged the exiled paeonians in Asia to recapture their countries, it was not to achieve any advantage fore the ionians , it was simply "to annoy Darius"(V.98). Herodotus also satets(not unmaliciously) that Aristagoras himself did not take part in the raid on sardis(V.99). And finally, unable to follow through to the end the operations he had initiated, this "poor- spirited creature left Asia minor for Thrace (V.124-126). History of the persian empire , Pierre briant , p149 You reversed my explanation. I wanted to say that you are always trying to demonize the East whereas your history is filled with blood even more than others. great progress and development of Western Civilization give them an excuse to cover what they did and are doing. Didn't you think for a second that maybe Migration to west is resulf of Making terrorism and governments , selling equipments and weapons to every side for fighting each other and destroying their economy and country that takes a century only for returning to their first condition , spreading diseases , penetrating to countries changing their values and made them stupid tool working for their Highly developed master?

@Chris Porter I'm not even a westerner but I 100% agree with you.
