Persia was the great empire of Asia Minor, one of the great world nations, and it remained that way until Alexander the Great defeated Darius II and took his empire from him.

Exactly that, to slow them down. Also, the oracles said that Sparta couldn't go to war. It was Spartan tradition that if the king was killed, then they had to go to war. The king (Leonidas) basically went to Thermopylae to get himself killed. On a different note, 300 men taking out half the Persian army was great for Morale.

Who would win in a battle the samurai or the spartan?
I love warriors such as Spartan's, Samurai's and Gladiators.But for me it's and obvios answer. The Samurai's are brilliant and skillful fighters, and are masters with one-to-one combat and fantastic in close range and long range.Personaly,I would be running the other way if a Samurai was anywhere near me.Also there centuries more modern than Spartans!!!! On the other hand,the Spartans are masters of disaster!!It's simple for them, never retreat,never surrender but die fighting for his native land.Mothers would wave to there children saying for them to come back either with their shields, or on them.Also King Leonidas was the most heroic leader ever to walk this planet.(He was a Spartan king who unfortunately died in the great Thermopylae battle.) My conclusion is that the Spartans are the greatest warriors in history,so I think that the Spartans would hammer the Samurai's, you have to give credit to the Samurai's though. this is in my opininion
