Does the movie 300 have Greek mythology?

The movie 300 is based on the Battle of Thermopylae, an actual battle that took place in ancient Greece. The war was between The Greeks and the Persians. There really were 300 Spartans, but there was also about 10,000 other Greek soldiers, so the Spartans were not alone. The Greeks lost the Battle of Thermopylae, but the Spartans fought bravely and more valiantly than the rest with their superior phalanx military strategy.
