The 300 Spartans tells the story of how Spartan King Leonidis led an extremely small army of Greek soldiers to hold off an invading Persian army more than 20 times as large. In 479 BC, one year after the famed Battle of Thermopylae, Dilios, a hoplite in the Spartan Army, begins his story by depicting the life of Leonidas I from childhood to kingship via Spartan doctrine.

Adapted from the 8-episode epic documentary drama calledThe First War for Western Civilization, this is the perfect television documentary complementing the 2014 movie 300 - Rise of an Empire, the sequel to the 2006 blockbuster movie 300.

The first democracy in the world spawned the Greco-Persian Wars 2,500 years ago that shaped most of the world today, particularly our politics, but it also gave us some of the most iconic moments and curious mysteries in history...a time when history really did become legend. Leonidas and his 300 Spartans and The Battle of Thermopylae.
Putting aside the myths and legends surrounding the 300 Spartans, this documentary takes a detailed look at The Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC, leading to the last stand of the 300 Spartans, other Greeks and the Great Spartan King, Leonidas. The legend passed down is that Leonidas went to Thermopylae with a picked band of 300 Spartans to defend the narrow pass with units from other Greek cities. Then on the 3rd day of the battle, when he found out he was being surrounded, he sent most of his troops away and covered their retreat with a last stand because Spartans never retreated.

Using the original text of Herodotus, the battle’s only 'contemporary' source, we examine the actions of Leonidas as commander of the Greek force of over 7000 men facing 200,000-plus Persians. Why were they there and what eventually led to the most famous last stand in history? Focusing on six key passages in the text, the real story gives a completely different picture than the legend we all know. Leonidas did not stay because Spartans never retreated. They had already retreated once in this war. He had plenty of time for a final retreat if he wanted, but his actions on the last day point to something completely different. The documentary concludes that while the legend is fabulous, the real story is astonishing...Leonidas had plans for the last day and they did not involve a suicidal last stand!
