2014-12-03 11:32 According to cartoonist Frank Miller, the prequel story is 10 years earlier than "300 Warriors", starting with the Battle of Marathon. The prequel is temporarily named "Xerxes" (Xerxes), he is the king of Persia in "300 Warriors", Xerxes became "King of Kings" in the 5th century BC, inheriting the will of his father Darius. Expedition to Greece . The main character of the prequels is Themistocles, known as the father of the Athenian navy, who became the ruler of Greece and established the navy, and was the nemesis of the Spartan king Leonidas. The above is from Baidu. 300 warriors watched it and admired the tactics and courage of the Spartan warriors. This one, after reading it, I feel like I'm chopping jam. When I tie it with a weapon, people spray it like a crimson jam bag... The computer effects are more obvious in the final sea battle, which makes people feel that it is a computer game. Regarding the official history, it is taken from Stavry's "General History of the World", and I happen to have a set. as follows: 480 BC was the year that decided Greece's life and death. This year, after three years of preparation, the Persian king Xerxes led an army of millions to invade Greece. Xerxes was meticulous and resolute in his conduct, in stark contrast to the benevolence and openness of his father Darius. Xerxes first formed an alliance with Carthage, a maritime power in the Mediterranean, and let them contain the Greek city-state Syracuse on the Italian island of Sicily, and then in the Hellespont (Hellespont, present-day Turkey) that divides Europe and Asia The Dardanelles) built two pontoon bridges, and established a number of logistics bases along the road in Thrace. Many city-states in Greece surrendered to the Persian Empire and sent troops and ships to participate in the war. After everything is ready, Xerxes entered Europe from the Strait of Horaspont, passed through Thrace and Macedonia, and attacked from northern Greece. The Persian army was blocked by the Greek coalition led by the Spartan king Leonidas at Thermopylae and could not be attacked for a long time. At this time, a Greek inner-led Persian army broke through the Greek coalition defense line from another mountain pass and detoured behind the Greek army. Leonidas immediately ordered the allied forces to retreat to preserve their strength. He led three hundred Spartan warriors to defend the Hot Spring Pass to block the enemy, and all of them were killed in battle. After the fall of Hot Springs Pass, the Persian army drove straight in and approached the city of Athens. The Athenians had to abandon the historic city and retreat to the island of Salamis. The Persian army occupied the empty city of Athens and set it on fire, and then the army chased the other side of Salamis Island, and Persian warships continued to gather towards Salamis Island. The Persian King Xerxes personally went to the battlefield to supervise the battle. The Persians built a high platform on the opposite side of Salamis Island, and Xerxes sat on the high platform, and could see every corner of the strait at a glance. Dozens of secretaries stood beside Xerxes, all holding credit books, ready to record the performance of the Persian battleship on the spot. Persian warships are generally tall, like castles at sea. There was an island blocking the entrance to the Salamis Strait, resulting in a narrow channel. Persian warships could pass dozens of ships at a time, so the Persian navy was forced to adopt the strategy of refueling, which is taboo among the military, and put in troops one by one. The Persian fleet entered the strait in several columns. At this time, the tide was rising, and the undercurrent was surging in the strait. Before the Persian warships turned their bows to the left, the long-awaited Greek fleet rushed up like an arrow from a string. At this time, there were only about 100 Persian warships entering the strait, while the Greek coalition had 370 warships, forming a situation of fighting more than few. The outermost battleships of the Persian fleet faced the impact of the Greeks horizontally, and almost all of them were sunk. The Persian battleships behind finally turned around and strangled with the Greek fleet. The narrow waters of the Salamis Strait were crowded with ships, and everyone could not move. At this time, the hoplites on the Athenian battleships came into play, and they climbed on the enemy ships to fight the Persian soldiers. The soldiers on the Persian warships were all archers, and they could not stop the fierce attacks of the heavily armored Athenian infantry. Often a dozen Athenian infantrymen were able to subdue an enemy ship effortlessly. The remaining Persian ships tried to turn around and escape, but were blocked by the follow-on troops. The Persian warships outside the strait did not know the battle situation inside, and they rushed into the strait one after another, hoping to show off in front of Xerxes. So the Persian navy was wiped out in the strait, and another batch came in, and so on, until it lost the ability to attack. force. The Greek coalition lost about 40 warships in this naval battle. The losses of the Persians are not recorded in detail. Some historians believe that there were more than 600 ships and tens of thousands of casualties. The wreckage of Persian warships and drowning soldiers were washed by the tide into a bay opposite Salamis, piling up on kilometers of beach in shocking mountains. After this war, the Persian navy slumped and ceded control of the Aegean Sea. After the victory of the naval battle, Themistocles advocated sending a fleet to the Strait of Heraspont to burn the Persian pontoon and trap Xerxes in Greece; but Aristide, who was conservative and prudent, did not agree with this. He believed that Xerxes Although the navy of Sri Lanka is disabled, the army still has hundreds of thousands of people. If the pontoon bridge is burned, it will inevitably make Xerxes a trapped beast. Persian army. Themistocles thought it was true, and once again sent people to the Persian camp to pretend to surrender, falsely claiming that the Greeks planned to send a fleet to burn the pontoon of Heraspont. Xerxes was shocked to learn that, and immediately returned to Asia Minor by land. The 300,000 Persian army he left behind was wiped out at the Battle of Plataea the following year, and the Second Hippo War ended in a disastrous defeat for Persia. Since then, the Greek-Persian War has changed positions in offense and defense, and the Greek coalition has begun to take the initiative to control various strategic locations from the Aegean Sea to the Black Sea, and drive the Persian forces out of many Greek city-states in Asia Minor. Athens dominated the Greek League for twenty-seven years with its powerful navy, and historians ironically called the Greek League during this period "the Athenian Empire".
