after the first 300 what wuz the outcome of the persian/spartan war?

Answer 1

~There was no outcome of the Persian/Spartan war. There was no such war. The Spartans were not alone at Thermopylae and the 300 were not alone with Leonidas. (and Thermopylae was hardly the 'first' battle) All but a few of the Greek city states were Xerxes' objective and most of them were represented in the war. For what came next, check out Salamis and Plataea. The problem with getting your history from the movies is you never bother to read about the real story. It is much more interesting.

Answer 2

300 recounts the Battle of Thermopylae, which legend tells us involved a small Spartan-led force holding off the Persian Immortals long enough for the Greeks to organize a defense. In the meantime, though, the advancing Persian army conquered Athens. The critical battle was a naval battle at Salamis, where the Greek navy (led by Athens) defeated the Persians. The naval defeat cut Persian supply lines and helped lead to the final defeat at the Battle of Plataea. Xerxes and the Persians withdrew from Greece and did not attempt to invade again.

Answer 3

OMG!!!!

Many of the posts are responding only about the movie 300. The Frank Miller graphic novel and its movie were not ever meant to be historically accurate.

The historical battle initialy had 300 spartans, but a total of 7000 soldiers and rested on the sucess of a major sea battle lead by the greeks to prevent the land force from being encircled.

The battle cost the persians so heavily that they didnt have the resourses or time to complete a conquest of all greece. When the persians came back the next year the greeks repulsed the persians again...and i belive a total of three times.

Answer 4

The 300 at the narrow pass merely bought the rest of greece time. From there it went back onto the seas, where the greeks did effectively the same thing, except it was inside of the narrow of the narrow pass they were easily flanked by the smaller greek ships (the way I understand it, sorry if this is incorrect) and destroyed a large number of persian ships. Discouraged from the defeat in a very stupid manor, the persian army routed. But they did take and hold a few creek city-states. The conflict eventually ended in peace for everyone but athens and of course persia.

Answer 5

The Entire Spatan Hoplite field Army along with the Athenian Army handed the Persians thier azzez to them on a plate on the fields of The Battle Of Salamis.Wasn't very long after that until another Greek namely Alexander the Great destroyed the Persian Empire once and for all.

Answer 6

The Athenians won the war with a decisive naval victory

And to the poster above me, Actually the greeks had their sh1t together first, the reason only 300 spartans marched out and not the whole spartan army was because the spartans couldn't get their sh1t together. The 300 and 700 other greeks were blocking one passage, the movie and frank millers comic didn't look elsewhere around Greece where the fighting raged.

Answer 7

About a year later the full Spartan army and a lot of free Greeks defeated the Persian army stopping their advance into Europe

Answer 8

Persia eventually sacked Athens. But they had a hollow victory, they were never able to take over Greece. They were defeated in the sea battle of Salamis. Greeks cheated them out of a true conquest. Persia spent a fortune trying to annex Greece, but failed. The Greeks mocked them viciously for many centuries afterwards.

The Parthenon temple is a symbol of the Greeks' ultimate casting out of the Persians. There are pieces of rubble leftover from the original temple that were set in place along the edges of the plateau. This arrangement was a constant reminder that the Persians had failed.

Answer 9

The Persians won this round, but the Macedonians then invaded Greece and Persia, spreading Greek culture to the whole near East.

Answer 10

The persians lost at Salamis a few months later
