| Wow, only 4 chapters in and what a novel! Why did they make 300 a film and not this book? |

300 is like if Joseph Goebbels was a Greek and wanted to make a movie about the 300. It's really ment to be like a "propaganda piece" in an art sense because it was being told by the Greeks of those ancient times. When you see old drawings that Greeks made of the battle, the Greek soldiers aren't wearing armor or any of that. But they actually did wear armor. Themistocles probably did more for Greece than the 300 (and thousands of other Greeks who fought there). But it's more exciting to glorify the foot soldiers and not the Navy. |
