Detailed explanation-1: -What was the result of the Battle of Thermopylae? A Persian army led by Xerxes I defeated Greek forces led by the Spartan king Leonidas in the Battle of Thermopylae.
Detailed explanation-2: -No. They were in a stalemate; they were holding a highly defensible pass between the sea and a mountain. As long as they stayed put, it was incredibly hard to beat them; but if they had moved to any direction, the Persians would have beaten them with sheer numbers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Once Leonidas became aware of the gamble, he outflanked the majority of the army, standing against the Persians with his 300 Spartans and a few others. All of them died, and the Persians won the Battle of Thermopylae.
Detailed explanation-4: -Therefore, historical inaccuracies are unavoidable and excusable since the film is not based on real history but on a fantasy graphic novel.
