History Upside Down

Rating: 1/10 (6 August 2017)

How would you feel if you found out that somebody lied to you? Would you respect a person who tells serious lies about an important thing?
We all know about Alexander's invasion and conquest of Persia but have you ever heard of Xerxes' invasion and conquest of Hellas?
Leonidas with many more people than just 300 tried in vain to stop the Persian army and got crushed. But why so much respect for Leonidas? Because he fought intrepidly. What would he have gotten if it happened in the modern era? He would probably have received an army commendation or something - posthumously. Get the point? Okay, he's been exaggerated!
The people of Athens ran for their lives days before the Persian army reached Hellas borders. Oh, and it was the Persians who grew beards as seen on all the stone carvings remaining from ancient times not the Greeks.
In the movie the Persians look like aliens, orcs, zombies and beasts!
Some parts of history are musts to be read. The Greko-Persian wars is an important chapter in the history of mankind.
