Just how historically accurate was 300’s interpretation of the Battle of Thermopylae. Mainly, did Xerxes’s soldiers really blindly charge without any sort of formation?
300’s interpretation of the Battle of Thermopylae
Not very, except for one bit you probably aren't expecting. More can always be said on the matter, so if anyone else would like to present their own critiques on the Snyder film, please don't hesitate to make your own posts! New material is always, always delicious.
For the meantime, OP, this is right in u/Iphikrates' wheelhouse:
For further knowledge on the Greek side of things, I highly recommend Iphikrates' flair profile for more than you'd ever thought you'd want to know about Greek warfare. For the Persian side of things...well, as you'll see in the posts above, that's hideously more difficult.
