According to history, the oracle of Delphi told him a king would die by the Persians in order to save the “world” (meaning Greece)

Reminder that this movie is based on 150 gay couples fighting the persians

Same reason Xerxes didn’t kill him. In the end the King is just a figurehead, someone people agree is powerful.
If either of them killed the other then the entire army/country of the now dead king would be extremely pissed off and ready to fight
Never give the enemy extra motivation

Xerxes was seen as a god (at least in the movie). Leonidas could have shown he was mortal and frightened the rest of his army.

That was a weird fucking scene. He killed the messengers though, so yeah, just weirdness so they could have mid movie dialouge.

honor

something you will never understand so its pointless to discuss your question

Bullshit, the whole point was to kill as many of them as they could.

>honor
then why did he kill the diplomat at the beginning?

gays saved the greek world which in essence made you who you are today, so youre gay too now

what if persians won would we all be speaking arabic?

nah the germanics wouldve killed them 2bh

Mensah broke the rules by directly threatening them. Emissaries are only allowed to use subtle language in those instances.

He did.
Did you not watch the movie?

Anatolian Greeks still held onto their culture/language/religion despite being ruled by them for centuries. Greece proper would have probably broken away by the time of Darius III anyways, the empire was pretty impotent by that point.

Amerimutt education

>muh honor
You wouldn't last five minutes on the battlefield dipshit.

pearsians didn't speak arabic you mong

do you speak greek now?

>what if Persians won?
What?? They did win in this sense of Thermopylae. They took over Athens.

They also lost the battle of Marathon, far more significant. Are you suggesting what if they won that? Ridiculous suggestion. They got twatted might as well ask what if Greeks decided they were now shit at fighting. What if a phalanx didn’t exist?
It’s stupid

the spartans spoke english.

Yes.

pay debts

Actully the main fighting was done with about 7,000 Greeks till they were flanked. Then Leonidas dismissed them and fought with about 2000 Spartans and other Greeks. Doing the last stand

Yep. Persian numbers were 250k as well not 1m. Fucking Spartan propaganda

But the 300 spartans were 150 gay couples. The other greeks were at their back.

so im gay?

just a bit more time please

Definitely via loanwords/root words from greek
