I saw a good documentary recently on the History Channel called "Last Stand of the 300" with good narrative and recreations and dramatizations. It focused almost as much on the Athenian Themesticles (in charge of overall strategy and the greek navy) as it did on the Spartan Leonidas. And it did show how overall the Spartan society was no bastian of freedom. The documentary came out to coincide with the movie "300", fair enough. But I think it is legitimate to question the timing of the movie given the U.S. government impending attack on Iran, as much a propaganda piece as entertainment. In Hollywood, there are few coincidences or accidents when it comes to influencing public sentiment. Those who protest the movie in Iran have a point, if only because of the timing.
