300

Yeah i watched a show on it. They did have more in the beginning, around 7k sounds right. Miller fudged that of course cause a book called 7300 or 1300 doesnt sound nearly as cool.

The last day of fighting was the 300 spartans and 1000 alliaes that stayd

All the others were moved out, the Spartans didnt force them to say, they just decided to.

Still, they were outnumbered by a insane amount, and the histories do show that the Greeks that did leave couldnt fathom how these guys had the cojones to stay when they knew they were going to die.

You cant help but get fired up by guys like that.

Now fight club i loved it, but hey thats just my opinon.

Well they stayed because to them dieing in a battle was the most honered way to die. The Spartians was really all about fighting. So to them the only way out of that battle was to die.

In the true events 2 spartains actually survived it. The one shown in the movie that was sent back to get help. And another guy that was sent to Athens to try to talk to them also. The 2nd guy tried to get back before the fight was over and he didn't. He got there too late. After that not sure the time frame he actually hanged himself because he was discraced that he missed the battle and did not get a chance to die with them.
