In the movie “300” the Spartans are not wearing armor however in real life they did armor was a major asset to them. The battle took place in 480 B.C. Frank miller said that the Spartans weren’t near as cruel in the movie as they were in real life. The movie shows a new born being held above a cliff to be decided whether the child was well enough to be kept and if it wasn’t they would throw the child into a place called “the place of rejection.” This was a real practice of the Spartans. Leonidas in the movie kills a woof in the woods as training to be ready to invade, but Spartans really were sent to kill a slave and if they got caught they were punished for getting caught not for taking a slaves life.
