A Spartan force of 300 heavy infantry and 2,100 light infantry, together with 7,00 troops from other Greek city-states was led by king Leonidas as part of a blocking force at the pass of Thermopylae in 480 BCE during the Persian invasion.
No one can say how many Spartans killed,but allied Greek force at Thermopyles is said to have killed around 20000-25000 Persians and Greeks who fought on Persian side.
I would say that the Spartans faced of about 200.000 men even thouught in the movie it mentiones 1 million
The Battle of Thermopyle
Peloponsian war
100s of Spartans were killed in many places, but the question probably refers to the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC, and the legend of the 300 Spartans.
They trained for war and being dominant on the battlefield. However Sparta was very conservative about entering wars, preferring to negotiate solutions which were sustainable rather than imposing by conquest. They were encouraged in this approach by their problems of a restive serf population in their home territories, who provided a constant threat of uprising , with the absence of the army exposing them to revolution in their absence. For this reason they took seven serfs for each soldier on campaign to reduce the risk at home - and these serfs provided support to the Spartan warriors as light infantry.
The Spartans only lost two battles in 500 years.
Your wart is your face!
0 it was all a publicity stunt. The soldiers went sockless
battle of thermopylae
Well,many of the soldiers did brave things to accomplish their tasks....many fought their hardest and many died.....outside of that I am not sure what you are looking for.
I watched a movie at school because we are learning aboutWorld War 1 and on the movie it said there war over 30,000 soldiers.

There were many horrors that sick and wounded soldiers faced. They faced death and dying everyday. They watched their fellow soldiers die and were often in a lot of pain if they were wounded.
This was Sparta. The whole of Spartan Life was that of a warrior. The Spartans were trained from the age of 7 to become warriors. Indeed it was only after passing training that they were accepted into a "Soldiers Club" (In Sparta there were Many) and they then, once accepted became Citizens, aswell as soldiers.
There have been and continue to be many gay soldiers throughout all of history. In antiquity, homosexuality was common among renowned warrior civilizations such as the Spartans, and the elite Sacred Band of Thebes was composed entirely of 150 pairs of homosexual lovers. All militaries throughout all time have had famous and accomplished soldiers who happened to be homosexual (usually covertly), and today there are many organizations dedicated towards supporting gay veterans and active soldiers.
It was roughly 300 Spartans - King Leonidas I and his personal bodyguards.
The casting of the movie "Paper Soldiers" was Kevin Hart, Beanie Sigel, Memphis Bleek, Jay-Z and many others. The movie was released in 2002 and was Directed by David Daniel and Damon Dash, who also had a role in the film.
There was way to many to count.
