Battle of Thermopylae

VS

The real Xerxes looks extremely different from the Xerxes they created in the movie.

In the movie 300, The Persians use Elephants and Rhinos. In the real Battle of Thermopylae, Elephants and Rhinos were not used. Horses were used.

In the real Battle, all the Spartans wore helmets. Not only Leonidas

Leonidas in 300 is very different from the real Leonidas.

In the movie 300, The Spartans were nearly naked. In the real Battle of Thermopylea, armor was used.
