In this way, the Spartan government and army always stayed disciplined and the king held them under his command. This happens to be another major historical inaccuracy of the film, since Sparta has always been known as the only Greek city-state (at the time) with two kings one went to war and led the army and the other stayed in Sparta to command the state. Two of the aforementioned members were the two kings of Sparta, the only members who could be younger than 60. According to historical records, 28 senate members should have been over 60 years of age and boasting a rich history of contributions and relationships among the most elite circles of the Greek city-state. Yet, in reality, Sparta’s senate consisted of 30 members who were perfectly respected and accepted by citizens. Identifying some of these historical inaccuracies, starting from Sparta’s then-political system, in the film you can easily see members of the Spartan senate portrayed as unpleasant monsters. Despite the awesomeness that is the 300 film (and the sequel)- the epic battles, the amazing directing, the incredible cinematography by Zack Snyder, and all the impressive special effects- our mission in this site is very specific, and thus, this article focuses on the historical inaccuracies of this movie.
