If you've seen 300, well... I'm currently reading a wikipedia article on the battle of Thermopylae and it seems that the movie is actually rather more historically accuarate than one might think.

300 is based off of a comic book that was loosely based off of the battle, so you can't really expect it to be too terribly accurate.

No, see, the thing is that it IS accurate. Mostly. That's why I'm surprised. I know it's based on a comic book, so I expected it to not be accurate at all, in any way, but it's actually very accurate.
