not jumping on the 300 bandwagon, the spartans were always inspiring to me.
these 300 men, and 700 thespians, gave their lives to protect their fellow greeks.
each warrior went to the field of battle knowing full well he was going to die. These brave, noble souls gave their lives to protect their fellow countrymen and more then that, to protect democracy.
without the spartans and thespians at thermopylae, persia would have dominated the rest of greece and ended democracy forever.
like fuck the spartans were fighting to protect democracy
also the more decisive battle was actually the navel battle of artemisium fought simultaneously by the athenian fleet, which no one cares to remember.
I hate the story of the Spartans because, aside from it being a terribly boring, overrated story, it's spawned that God-awful film 300.
what do you call a male lesbian?
thespian.
HO HO HO
Guys, he's doing it again...
just stop doing it altogether
15 years of carpentry, bitch.
Also, I'm surprised Jesus made it anywhere as a philosopher (that's all he is folks) because, wherever he went there must've been someone thinking "I know that bloke, he built my shed."
Unless he was just a terrible carpenter and that's why he decided to stand on mountains and talk about cheesemakers.
well you can see the beginnings of a shaft or two, and some lovely pubes. and of course, the firm bright gleaming asses are quite pleasant to behold as well. so yes, i agree: sensual yet tasteful.
well you probably are more knowledgeable about the 2nd invasion of persia than i am, but ii was talking about these two simultaneously occurring battles that really were almost two parts of the same engagement.
oh.
well they both had equal importance basically.
Tactically and logistically, the sea battle was a bigger victory.
from a morale standpoint, the spartans crewed out about a full fifth of the persians army with basically no serious loss, and the rest of the greeks had time to prepare themselves for the invasion, which they wouldn't have had time to do if the spartans had fallen sooner.
