The story of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" takes place in Greece from 490 BC to 450 BC. The two sides of the conflict are the Persian father and son soldiers VS the Greek Gemini.

First, let's take a look at the global situation at that time. Our Greater China is in the period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and we are fighting for ourselves; Rome is turning a blind eye to things outside the window, aiming to accumulate power; Persia (the predecessor of Iran), which spans Europe, Asia and Africa, leaks domineeringly and ravages already Egypt, which has a history of more than three thousand years, bit off India, where Buddhism was just born, while biting off the birthplace of European civilization in the Greek world (composed of many small groups of nations), where two shining stars, Athens and Sparta, are falling in love and killing each other. .

If you use keywords to define this pair of twin stars: Athens is a pioneer of democracy, petty bourgeoisie, piano, chess, calligraphy, and tall; Sparta is a model of dictatorship, an angry youth group, a combat model, and a flammable device. The two Greek brothers with different styles often beat their heads. However, I found out that there was a big stomach king in the east, that is, I ate Babylon, Syria, Egypt, Asia Minor, and the Persian fat man in the Mediterranean. As a result, Athens and Sparta unanimously launched the Hippocratic War with Persia.

The Bossian War was divided into three rounds.

First round: In 492 BC, the Persian Emperor Darius had the dream of "seeing the most beautiful sunset on the sea in Greece" and sent his army and navy to Greece. However, the army was beaten to the ground as soon as it approached Greece; the 20,000 navy was killed by a hurricane just after landing without looking at the weather forecast.

Second round: In 490 BC, Darius sent an army of 100,000 to Greece by boat and landed on the plains of the Athens Marathon. The Athenian warriors created the myth of one enemy ten. Then a soldier named Philipides dashed for forty kilometers to pass the victory back to Athens, and he was honored after completing his mission. To commemorate this, there is a marathon. Of course, the second round also ended in Persia's defeat.

The third round: Darius, who was heart-stuck, ended his incomplete life with unfinished dreams. Darius's most handsome son Xerxes led 300,000 younger brothers and thousands of warships to conquer Greece. Facing the menacing Persia, Athens and Sparta joined forces to divide the work and cooperate. Athens dealt with the navy, and King Leoni of Sparta reached the hot spring pass to block the Persian army. After two days of confrontation, Leonidas was led by a traitor to lead the enemy to the rear. Faced with the enemy, Leonida ordered thousands of Greek coalition forces to evacuate. He brought three hundred cronies to the hot spring pass and fought until only one remained. People, Xerxes is terrified. This is the tragic "Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" story.

After Xerxes cleared the hot spring pass, he went south and entered Athens, which had already become an empty city, and burned Athens in a fit of anger. The Athenian General Temistocles took advantage of the fierce battle at Sparta Hot Springs to assemble the Greek navy in Salami Bay, tricking the Persian navy into the narrow bay, and ramming and attacking when it was unable to advance or retreat. The Persians failed for the third time.

In the second year of the naval battle, Sparta brought his Greek brothers to Platya to wipe out the remnants of Persia. In 449 BC, Greece and Persia signed a peace agreement, the Hippo War ended, and the Persian Empire turned from prosperity to decline due to this nearly 40-year war.

Many years later, a young Greek set foot on Persian land and ended the powerful Persian empire. That was Alexander. That was another magical story...
