It's how they kept warm on a battle field.

So that part could certainly be considered accurate.

How else do you keep warm during a fall harvest with just a cape and leather briefs?[/quote]

I thought the same thing when I was watching the movie, only I couldn't remember his name.

[b]Some historical inaccuracies that piss me off now that I think about it ...

1. In real life = The Iranians (Persians) were mostly Aryan ... yet in this film they are half black guys or Arabs. Where the fuck were the white Persians (Iranians) ?


2. Historically young Spartan men were taken from their mothers and given over to an older male mentor who trained and introduced them to the homosexual gay regimen. Yet in this film the Spartans are the straight ones fighting a bunch of flaming homos ? :crazy: Spartan society was rampant with near to 100 % homosexuality .... yet in this flick they are all roided up straight guys ... who never use the word "Fabulous" [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons//23.gif[/img]


3. Sparta was a matriarchal society. Lineage was not only traced through the Mother, but women had a significant hold on policy. In this flick the wife is made to keep her mouth shut while the men speak.


4. In historical Sparta nearly all women practiced Lesbianism. :contract: Where the fuck were the carpet munching scenes ?[/b][/color]

had should be used here to produce white players who can play tailback, wide receiver and
cornerback in the NFL.[/b][/color]

[b]The Spartans Are Fags[/b]
By Ryan Gilchrist[/u][/size]


The Muncie Spartans are such total fucking fags, dude. That whole entire school is gay, but the guys on the football team are the biggest homos of all. The Westbridge High Panthers beat the Spartans four out of the last five games, and the one we lost? That was when our quarterback, Kent, had the flu.

Fucking Spartans, man. I bet they do each other right in the locker room, 'cause they can't even wait until they get back on the bus.

Look at their queer uniforms, man. They love prancing around in that gay-ass green-and-yellow shit. And as soon as they get announced, they're on the field prancing like fucking fairies or something. They'd probably be happier running around naked, though, and looking at each other's dicks. Ripping through their gay "Go Spartans!" banner; like anyone would think that's cool, except for the fudge-packers who go to Muncie.

And they got no fuckin' defense, man. Last year, during the big homecoming game, we lit those flamers up for 48 points. Their offense sucks, too. They can't throw a pass, 'cause of their limp wrists. Or probably their wrists are so sore from jacking each other off all the time.

I tell you what, dude: On Saturday, me, Kent, and Kent's brother Steve are gonna drive out to Muncie High and totally steal their rock. At first we thought instead of stealing it, we'd just paint "Spartans Are Fags" on it, but you know they'd just paint right over it, like the fags they are, with some gay pink flowers or shit. So we're gonna swipe the fucker. Then, when the Spartans all come to school on Monday, they're gonna see the rock is gone, and they'll all be like, "Look at what homo pussies we are! We can't even hang on to our rock!"

[u][b]The Spartans Did Indeed Engage In Homosexual Activity[/b]
By Professor H. Lowell Lindemann
Princeton University[/u][/size]

There is no question that the Spartans were involved in homosexual activity. All of the leading texts on the matter make mention of it. Spartan men would often take a young boy under their wing in a close-knit, mentor-type relationship which included sexual relations. Though frowned upon within the strictures of most contemporary social norms, man-boy "eros" was a deeply rooted aspect of traditional Spartan society. Some even theorize that it bolstered their military strength by creating armies which were psychologically more close-knit.

But despite all of this, Mr. Gilchrist's assertion that the uniform of a Spartan soldier reflects a homosexual influence is something of a stretch, in my opinion. The interlocking bronze strips which protected a hoplite soldier from waist to knees admittedly resembled a skirt, but there is, to the best of my knowledge, no connection between homosexuality and the modes of dress common to Spartan society.

As for competing naked, the Spartans are believed to be the ones who introduced nudity to the ancient Olympic games in Greece, so there does exist evidence supporting Mr. Gilchrist's theory on this matter.

However, I must vigorously object to my esteemed colleague's criticism of the Spartans' defense. When one studies the Spartans' courageous stand against the Persians at Thermopylae in 480 B.C., one cannot realistically impugn their defensive prowess. Knowing that the Persian assault was all but certain to end in their deaths, the outmanned Spartans took up arms and ferociously fought until their entire army lay dead, inflicting on the Persians casualties far greater than any military expert would have realistically projected.

In short, though Mr. Gilchrist's basic thesis is grounded in fact, it is nevertheless exaggerated. Yes, the Spartans engaged in homosexuality, but the repetitive, explicit details of various homosexual relations to which Mr. Gilchrist returns again and again, distorting and overstating these homosexual aspects of Spartan society well beyond their actual sociohistoric importance (i.e. their impact on Spartan combat strategy), seem to indicate that he has some sort of hidden agenda at work. Perhaps Mr. Gilchrist needs to examine his personal motivations more closely before he is ready to offer a balanced assessment of Spartan sexual mores and conduct.[/quote]

[b]Tehran condemns 'anti-Iranian' movie 300[/b]
Mar 12, 2007[/u][/size]


Tehran - [b]Iran on Monday strongly condemned the US film company Warner Bros. over the allegedly 'anti-Iranian' blockbuster film 300. [/b]

Javad Shamqadri, art advisor to President Mahmoud [b]Ahmadinejad,[/b] told Fars news agency that the [b]film was an insult to Persian culture and in line with the American 'psychological war' against Iran. [/b]

Zack Snyder's film, based on a comic book by Frank Miller, tells the story of the battle of Thermopylae in Greek history in which 300 Spartan warriors led by King Leonidas heroically fought a massive Persian army attack, delaying an invasion by King Xerxes' forces and giving Greeks time for a counterattack.

Iran's has called foul over what it calls [b]'deviation of history' [/b]but also because the [b]Persians in the film were shown as 'ugly and violent creatures rather than human beings.' [/b]

The news network Khabar organised a special programme in which the film was evaluated from several angles by film critics who argued that the film's alleged efforts to expose Persians as violent was a US political plot implemented through Hollywood and the Warner Bros. company.

The state-run network also linked the film to ongoing political differences between Washington and Tehran such as the nuclear dispute.

The film critics further said that after Germans, Japanese, Russians and Arabs, Iranians seem to become the new 'villian' in Hollywood productions.

A large number of Iranians abroad have already started a worldwide email campaign to send protest missives to Warner Bros. for having insulted Persian culture and history.

The film reportedly made 70 million dollars over its opening weekend, making it the first official blockbuster of the year.[/quote]

:lol:

[color="#FF0000"][b]Well at least Im not the only one who found it to be possibly offensive, I was beginning to think I was
going crazy. However, it's not exactly comforting knowing that Ahmadinejad has the same opinion I do.
