I see you know your way around Greek mythology.
If I have undrestood well , it all comes down to the limitations of putting the story on film and making it presentable to the public.
BUT , that story is part of my country's history (or mythology if you prefer) and I can't stand it seeing events being described wrongly.
Achilles never entered the Trojan horse nor he died inside the city of Troy and many others.
In "300" many mistakes were made. The Spartan Hoplite of the 5th century BC was heavily armored , the phalanx didn't work as shown etc.
The only correct thing of the 300 is that it shows the fighting spirit of the Spartan Army and the ultimate sacrifice of those 300 soldiers (in fact 1000 = 300 Spartans + 700 Thespians) for Greece herself!
As far as the "The 300 Spartans" I agree.
