Among the 300 warriors of Sparta, the Persians refer to which country are they from now? 45

The Persians were certainly not blacks, although the Persians and Arabs were more alike, Xerxes (486-465 BC), and it was not until 651 AD that the Muslim forces conquered the Persian Empire in just ten years and took full possession of the territory of the Persian Empire. This new Islamic kingdom is called Iran. So the Persians are not Arabs either.

In fact, Persia is a multi-ethnic mixed country, ethnically speaking, Persia is the population of the Indo-European Caucasian people who migrated to the Iranian plateau and merged with many local ethnic groups.

If we want to refer to the current country, it is the Iranians, in fact, we can think of the Iranians as a diverse ethnic group after the integration of the Persian, Arab, Turkic Xiongnu and other nomadic peoples in history.

At that time, the area ruled by Persia was mainly in West Asia, which is now Iran and Iraq.

Persia at that time was the Persian Empire, and its main sphere of rule was Western Asia and the Arabian Peninsula. The black people in there may have been slaves captured by Persia during their crusade against Africa, and they may have surrendered to Persia later, hehe, the above is just my guess, or it may be Lao Mei's own blind movie, and even Hollywood itself has not figured it out.

The first Persians (after the fall of Assyria in the 6th century BCE) lived in the area south of the city of Shiraz in southern Iran (where Persepolis, the capital of Persia, was located). The fact that Persian civilization only began to flourish in the era spanned by the Age of Empires2 was not to misinterpret the history of Persia, but in fact that Persia in the Age of Empires also included the predecessors of the Persian Empire (which began in the third century AD).

Iran, the Persians are the predecessors of the current Iranians! The big index finger is Arabic.

Persia at that time was what is now Iran.

Because Persia was relatively strong at that time, it conquered a lot of places. It's not surprising that there are black people.

And the inhabitants of that part of Central Asia have changed several times. It's basically not a nation from beginning to end...

Ancient Persia was what is now Iran.

You go to Persia or Iran.

Armageddon in the movie is a kind of comic freehand, and history is not like this. If you look at history with the sad and indignant mood of "the strong man is gone and will never return" in the movie, it may not be very satisfying to you.

The truth is that while King Leonida was defending Thermopyla, the Persian and Greek navies met at Cape Artemison, and soon the Persian army was victorious and occupied all parts of the Greek peninsula. Subsequently, Xerxes, who was enraged by the Spartans at the Battle of Thermopylae Pass, insisted on attacking Athens and mobilized 300,000 troops to complete the siege of the Greek coalition near the island of Salamis. The strength of both sides is 3:

1。However, after the battle began, the Persian navy suffered two hurricanes and suffered heavy losses. Xerxes, who had been defeated by the Greek coalition, fled back to Asia, leaving Commander Madonis to continue fighting in Greece with a small force.

The Second Greco-Greek War ended in the victory of the Greek coalition as the commander of Madonis was defeated by the Spartan-led Greek coalition.

As for your first question, the skulls carried by the Persian envoys at the beginning of the film are the kings of the Greek city-states who were destroyed one after another against the Persian army. This is explicitly mentioned in the film before the male protagonist Leonida kicks the Persian messenger into the abyss.

Many people have heard of the Spartan warriors now, and there is a story that you must have also heard, the battle of 300 Spartan warriors to win more with less is not as exaggerated as now, in fact, this battle is true, 300 warriors are also true, at that time, as a monarchy, the Persian Empire, in order to expand its territory launched the first Greco-Persian War in 490 BC, and the various Greek city-states led by Athens fought alone and fought a decisive battle with the Persian army in the Marathon Plain, In the end, the Battle of Marathon was defeated by the Athenian hoplites, and Greece won the First Greco-Persian War.

But the vast Persian Empire did not suffer a major blow as a result. This was followed by the Second Greco-Persian War. This is where the Spartan warriors of Athens appeared.

The Greek army is the main force of the Spartans, the navy is dominated by the Athenian fleet, in order to cover the Greek navy, these Spartan warriors and another 7,000 heavy soldiers in the Thermothermal Pass to block the Persian land attack, the Thermothermal Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the general Leonidas adopts the tactics of "one man is the pass, ten thousand people are not open", the town guards the mountain, the Persian army can not be attacked, ordered to outflank from the rear, encircled and annihilated, Leonidas found that there was an enemy after that, so Leonidas moved some soldiers who had no fighting spirit to the rear, Only 300 Spartan warriors were left to fight the decisive battle of the Persians, the corpses of this war were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river, and the Spartan warriors slashed with their swords when their spears were broken, and when they were broken, they fought hand-to-hand with their fists and teeth, but the result was that they were outnumbered and all the troops were annihilated. But these warriors did not sacrifice their lives in vain, but bought time for the Greek navy, which lived up to its trust in defeating the Persian navy at the Battle of Saraju.

After the war, the bloody battle of Thermopylae, which cost the lives of 20,000 Persian soldiers, was undoubtedly a nightmare for Xerxes. When he thought of the Spartan warriors who fought to the end and would rather die than give in, he asked left and right in horror: "Are all Spartans like this?"

As a result of the battle, the Persian army was in danger of being cut off from supplies, so it ordered a general retreat, which the Greeks pursued and liberated Asia Minor and other regions. These two Greco-Persian wars promoted the collision and integration of civilizations and accelerated the progress of society.
