He therefore chose a small amount, saying that its his own personal choice, not representing Sparta in any way. He only chose 300 Spartans because if he had taken the entire Spartan Army, the movie would have been over. In August,480 BC, Leonidas set out to join Xerxes' army at Thermopylae with a small force of 300, where he was joined by forces from other Greek city-states, who put themselves under his command to form an army between 4,000 and 7,000 strong. Hear your fate, O dwellers in Sparta of the wide spaces Either your famed, great town must be sacked by Perseus' sons, Or, if that be not, the whole land of Lacedaemon Shall mourn the death of a king of the house of Heracles, For not the strength of lions or of bulls shall hold him, Strength against strength for he has the power of Zeus, And will not be checked till one of these two he has consumed. The Oracle is said to have made the following prophecy in hexameter verse: Upon receiving a request from the confederated Greek forces to aid in defending Greece against the Persian invasion, Sparta consulted the Oracle at Delphi.
His name was raised to heroic status as a result of the events in the Battle of Thermopylae. Leonidas succeeded his half-brother Cleomenes I, probably in 489 or 488 BC, and was married to Cleomenes' daughter, Gorgo. Leonidas was one of three brothers: he had an older brother Dorieus and a younger brother Cleombrotus, who ruled as regent for a while on Leonidas' death before the regency was taken over by Pausanias, who was Cleombrotus' son. He is the overall main protagonist in the 300 film series, serving as the main protagonist in the first film, 300 and a background character/posthumous character in its sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire. Paul Cartledge has narrowed the date of the birth of King Leonidas to around 540 BC. While it has been established that King Leonidas of Sparta died at the Battle of Thermopylae in August, 480 BC, very little is known about the year of his birth, or for that matter, his formative years. Leonidas (pronounced /liːˈɒnɨdəs/, Greek: Λεωνίδας, Leōnidas, literally "leonine") was a king of Sparta, the 17th of the Agiad line, one of the sons of King Anaxandridas II of Sparta, who was believed in mythology to be a descendant of Heracles, possessing much of the latter's strength and bravery. It grossed over $337 million worldwide from a $110 million budget."THIS IS SPARTA!" - Leonidas' famous quote The film was released to mixed reviews, with critics praising the action sequences, music, cinematography, visual effects and Green's performance but criticizing the story and overstylized gore. The film's score was composed by Junkie XL. It was released in 3D and IMAX 3D on March 7, 2014. The cast includes Lena Headey, Peter Mensah, David Wenham, Andrew Tiernan, Andrew Pleavin, and Rodrigo Santoro reprising their roles from the first film, alongside Sullivan Stapleton, Eva Green, Hans Matheson, and Callan Mulvey. Zack Snyder, who directed and co-wrote the original film, acted as writer and producer of Rise of an Empire. It is based on the Frank Miller comic mini-series Xerxes: The Fall of the House of Darius and the Rise of Alexander (released April–September 2018).
It is a sequel to the 2006 film 300, taking place before, during and after the main events of that film, very loosely based on the Battle of Artemisium and the Battle of Salamis with considerable altering of historical facts. 300: Rise of an Empire is a 2014 American epic historical fantasy war film directed by Noam Murro.
