Why would the Spartans fight a Spartan army? At the pass of Thermopylae 300 Spartan heavy infantry and 2,100 Spartan light infantry were part of a Greek force of about 8,000 which fought a delaying action against a Persian army in 480 BCE.
King Leonidus was the ruler of the Spartans. He fought in the battle between the 300 Spartans and the Persians
The 300 Spartans
There was way to many to count.
Persians.
The Spartans fought the Persians at the Battle of Thermopylae .
Because the thespians wanted to take over the greek.
300 Spartans heavy infantry and 2,100 light infantry.
100s of Spartans were killed in many places, but the question probably refers to the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC, and the legend of the 300 Spartans.
It was roughly 300 Spartans - King Leonidas I and his personal bodyguards.
the Spartans and the Athenians together beat up Persian armies. but Spartans fearing of Athenian's power strikes many attacks times on the enemy. the Athenians attacked the trade routes but the Athenians grew weaker. the Athenian's power was the navy and they made a lot of loot by trading.but they lost like a bunch of crap against the Spartans.but I'm not surprised because Spartans are beast even though the Greece was the super power at that time. hope this helps<:)
The Battle of Thermopylae is the historical name for the battle where the 300 Spartans fought.
yes 301, just kidding, probably not that just about the only memerable thing that the Spartans did and at the end they kind of summed it all up with the 10000 Spartans going into the fight
300
