The Great 300 Documentary

Thanks for the post, Nora Howe

Have you ever heard of the great spartans and how they did the impossible by taking on one million persians with only 300 men? This is one of my favorite documentaries of all time. This is a true story about the 300 spartan soldiers who stood strong against the mighty persians in an ancient battle long ago. The reason that I really like this story is because it shows the great quality of the soldiers of Sparta as well as a code of life that they lived by. The idea of a warrior king has been noted in history but no one comes more true to this than King Leonidas. He is the man of all men, the warrior of all warriors ! and puts the code of Spartans to the test. Although there have been movies that address this great battle, it was nice to see the documentary on satellite TV fromwww.tvbydirect.com because I was able to get a much better and more accurate understanding of the layout of the terrane as well as a better idea of the battle strategies that were used. Also, the documentary explains the many traditions that were used in that time to detriment how and when the army was used and how there were only a select 300 soldiers used instead of the remaining thousands. This is a great documentary to watch not only for people who like historic battles but also for those looking for a little inspiration and courage.
