First, Trojans (this is questionable that the Trojans even existed) and Spartans are no longer something alike. The words are no longer interchangeable. they did no longer defeat the Persian military. As I keep in mind, the Spartans have been outflanked and lost the conflict of Thermopylae. if fact be told, the Greek military at Thermopylae consisted of over 5,000. the Spartans did guy the front line, and all fairly plenty died, by way of fact they have been obdurate and refused to retreat as quickly as they found out that they have been outflanked. What the Greeks did do replaced into opt for an complication-free to guard place; they chosen a community that: a million) had to be gone by by ability of the Persians to realize Athens. 2) replaced into proof against Persian archers. 3) provided a slender hall the place merely a handful of adult adult males ought to in wonderful condition shoulder to shoulder. as properly, that they had greater advantageous weaponry and education. The Persians greater or much less blindly flung themselves at Spartan spear. Myths are many times blown out of proportion, as this is with the conflict of Thermopylae. there have been no longer merely 3 hundred Spartans, yet a plethora of Greeks. The Spartans (as they often did every time they have been battling alongside Athens for a transformation), took the front line (which replaced into, back then, an definitely line). The Sampson of history could have properly killed a sturdy style of adult adult males, in spite of if, it form of feels that it could have been blown out of proportion. Our accountability is, as moderns, to combat in the process the parable to locate the certainty.

Battle of Thermopylae

If you want a good prespective, I would look into websites that deal with Greek history of the 1st millennium BCE. Wikipedia is fine as well but looking into a Greek source would be a better look at the Greek and Persian animosity which stretched over 300+ years.
