The last Stand of 300



In supplement to the box office smash hit 300,the history channel showcased a fantastic documentary about the great king leonidas and his 300 spartans at the battle of Thermopylae.It presented the actual happenings of this historic event step by step and detailed into the various facets of the battle right from the time king darius ruled persia to the time when Xerxes attacked persia and the strategies the spartans used along with the mastermind of this entire battle,Themistocles.

The documentary was truly enlightening in all sense as it gave a brief about the battle of marathon and as to why did persia launched this attack against the greeks.if you are interested in knowing the history and what happened with the greeks and the modern day iran this documentary would surely be a handful tool.

I could go on and on into the history of the battle but would this seriously hamper the excitement of watching this documentary.the evnts unfold one by one and after watchin this docum,entary you will surely gain an insight into this great city a must watch for all enthusiats.
