What do you think of the new documentary Last Stand of the 300 on the History Channel? It is reminiscent of the Alexander documentary that came out shortly after Oliver Stone's feature film.
I just finished watching it and thought it was pretty well done... There were a few historical inaccuracies, but overall not bad. The battle scenes were better than any previous documentary I've seen. I'd love to know details about the reenactors...

Philip said that the Athenians were like the bust of Hermes: all mouth and dick.

Looking at the laast pic Gioi, it is a wonder the Persians could not just march around the pass through the valley on the otherside of the hills, and come out behind the Greeks, without having to rely on a traitor! looks a fairly open route to the pass on the left of the pic!
just my opinion!

BTW, they are showing the 50's version of the last stand at Thermopolae here in britain! Quite funny how they look so funny now, but they made such an impression on me when I first saw it when I was a kid! :lol: :lol:
