The Persian infantry were no match for a well trained, armored and appropiately equipped Greek hoplite in formation. While Frank Miller's artistic rendition of the battle may have been somewhat appropiate for a comic book, it seems a little ridiculous to portray the battle with the Spartans without their body armor in a movie; too much artistic license over realism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
