Damn those Spartans were serious bad-asses. Fighting wearing only a loincloth and helmet? Against, if I'm not wrong, 10,000 Persians?
[HIDE]From the trailer and what my friend was telling me, it's how the Greeks, I think, asked the Spartans for help defending a spot against the Persians. The two groups made a pact to be there and fight together but the Greeks chickened out and left 300 Spartans against the full force of Persia. The story goes that the 300 took out 10,000 Persians before finally being wiped out, without even considering the thought of running away/surrendering. That's the gist of it...correct me if I'm wrong.[/HIDE]
