700 Thespians fought and died at Thermopylae but they are often overshadowed by the Spartans and forgotten.

How do we get all those famous actors to become tough warriors like the real Thespians? (It’s just a joke!)

Contrary to a somewhat antiquated presumption;
being a thespian has nothing to do with being a lesbian!

Thespians

"Acting!"

In Greece last1fall of 2023, traveling around stopped at the battle site. Worthy stop and I was stunned ow far the water/shoreline had moved out.

The hot springs there also excellent!

Wait, wait, wait. A lot of Freepers have said lately, a country that can't hope to win has the obligation to surrender, and to fight is evil?

According to this, shouldn't the Greeks be considered the bad guys, and far from heroes? Where's the consistency?

"the 300 Spartans led by Leonidas, the 700 Thespians commanded by Demophilus, and a force of 400 Thebans remained at Thermopylae where they made a final stand..."

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I am one of those who still remembers the Thespians, Thebans and some others who backed up Leonidas and his 300.
I always liked REAL HISTORY and not movie history.
