A spartans idea of a "Beautiful death" is actually a historic truth. When the ancient greek spartans were to go into battle anyone who died in battle were explained to have a "Beautiful death" in that they died in the heat of battle instead of old age or of disease, so when the spartan in the film 300 was talking about a "Beautiful death" he was referring to dieing in battle.

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.
