Brilliant Piece of Propaganda

Rating: 1/10 (18 December 2017)

*** SPOILER ALERT ****
Written by noted conservative Warren Miller, 300 serves as a brilliant piece of propaganda that fails in nearly every way when looking at historical evidence of the time.
1. Spartans depending on a LARGE slave class, that allowed them 24 Hour leisure time for their interests.
2. Spartan training was designed to produce good citizens, not soldiers.
3. Sparta didn't have a standing army, their army was a militia that was used when needed.
4. The battle of Thermopylae was not intended to be a suicide mission. Leonidas desperately wanted, and sent for, emergency backup.
5. Argives were the premier warriors in Ancient Greece
6. Sparta was admired for its political machinations, not its army.
There are many more historical inaccuracies. This is a small list of them. Please do your research rather than believe this piece of propaganda.
