Persian War.
here's the deal. Athens helps another polis named Ionia against the Persians and Darius. Ionia still loses, but the Persians don't forget the insult. So they come after Athens. Athens asks the other Greek polises for help, but gets none. It manages to beat the Persians, but they know that they haven't seen the last of the Persians.
Sooo, the other Greeks agree to help Athens and together they all form the Delian League.
The Persans do come back, and the Athenians need someone to hold off the Persians long enough for them to empty Athens and build up a navy. The Spartans step up and meet the Persians in the Battle of Thermopylae, where the legend of 300 Spartans holding off the Persians to buy the Delian League enough time to eventually defeat the Persians decisively.

Here are a couple of links that will be able to answer your question. It is based on actual historical events. But the movie has added a lot of extra stuff. The Spartans had more than 300 when they got trapped and the King found out thats when he sent a lot of his troops back and he kept only 300. I hope the sites help you.

Study your Greek History. The Spartans were famous warriors trained in the art of war... the attack by Xerxes was real and the Spartans were grossly outnumbered. But because they funneled them into a narrow passageway, they were able to kill many of the persians attacking them. The movie stuck pretty close to the real story and the Greeks became known for their fight for freedom, honor, and duty.
