Truth vs Legend

300 Spartans: Truth vs Legend, the real story behind one of history’s most famous last stands. The legend says 300 Spartans held off a million Persians, but the truth is far more complex and even more inspiring. Thousands of Greeks fought alongside them, yet at the final stand, only the Spartans, Thespians, and Thebans remained. They didn’t fight to win; they fought to buy time and protect Greece. This short history documentary reveals the real courage behind the legend of Thermopylae, a reminder that bravery isn’t about victory… It’s about standing firm when fate is already decided. Quote: “Courage is resisting fate… even when fate wins.”
