"300" is based on the 1998 comic series of the same name by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, which recounts the Battle of Thermopylae.
The real Battle of Thermopylae took place in 480 B.C. between a small Greek force led by King Leonidas of Sparta and the massive Persian army of King Xerxes.
The Spartans, known for their incredible discipline and training, often started their military education at age 7 in an institution known as the "Agoge."
In the film, Leonidas and his 300 Spartans are depicted as fighting bare-chested. In reality, Spartans would have worn bronze cuirasses (body armor) into battle.
While the film shows a close-knit band of 300 Spartans, they were not alone. They were supported by several thousand other Greeks during the battle.
The iconic line, "This is Sparta!", shouted by Leonidas before kicking the Persian messenger into a well, became a popular catchphrase and meme after the movie's release.
The character Ephialtes, who betrays the Spartans in the film, is based on a real historical figure. However, the actual details of his betrayal and physical appearance are different from the movie's portrayal.
