5/5 Excellent
  by Kyle J. Pomeroy
By far the best documentary covering the battle at Thermopylae! Covers in detail the strategies used by both the greeks (Spartans, Athenians and others) and Persians. Also explains why the Persian empire invaded Greece, a must buy for anyone who has interest in the truth about the 300 Spartans, their alies and their last stand.

5/5 Thermopylae!
  by Joseph C. Martinak (Perryopolis, PA United States)
If you are interested in this battle, buy it! This past summer I visited Greece and made a point to visit the "battlefield." One does not expect something along the lines of preservation of American Civil War Battlefields like Gettysburg or Antietam. The sea has receded a few miles and a delta with many farms and a 4 lane highway now go through the former waterfront where the Battle took place. There are a couple of statues, a frieze and a few maps onther one side of the road, (which would have been under water at the time of the battle, the map helpfully notes)and Kolonos Hill where the last of the Spartans were cut down on the other. This DVD, using photos, computer generated graphics and fascinating commentary by experts, is invaluable to understanding the battle, why it was fought in the first place, and its pivotal place in not just Greek but world history.

4/5 A good documentary on the real 300

For those who loved or hated the movie this is a must watch, the battle did happened and yes there were 300 spartans, but there is a whole bunch of stuff let out the movie(based on a comic book). You will have a whole other view of Leonidas and his boys after watching this, you thought they were tough ,nope, this guys were absolutely crazy. And if it wasn't for them modern western civilization could have disappeared in it's infancy.

4/5 Very Informative

This video gives a much more comprehensive overview of the land and naval battles between the Spartans and the Persians. For the history buff this is an excellent compliment to the motion picture 300.

Waiting 3 weeks for a single video to arrive can't be considered a timely turn around transaction.
