  Like how Sparta at first begged Athens to not trust Persia and then when Athens need help Sparta just said &quot;nah, do it yo self man.&quot; And then finally decided to help

  Damn, didn&apos;t know Plataea was won without the ENTIRE Greek center. That&apos;s insane when you think about it, they were outnumbered even with them.

  It takes enormous balls to choose,the moment you know you&apos;re in danger of being outflanked, to march forward and try to break the enemy lines &nbsp;before you get sandwiched. Persians had this in the bag but their lines couldn&apos;t hold the weight of such big balls.

  Platea really gets overshadowed a lot by Thermopylae and Salamis

  “And so my king died, and my brothers died, barely a year ago. Long I pondered my king&apos;s cryptic talk of victory. Time has proven him wise, for from free Greek to free Greek, the word was spread that bold Leonidas and his three hundred, so far from home, laid down their lives. Not just for Sparta, but for all Greece and the promise this country holds.” <br><br>“Now, here on this ragged patch of earth called Plataea, Xerxes&apos;s hordes face obliteration!”<br><br>“HA-OOH!”<br><br>“Just there the barbarians huddle, sheer terror gripping tight their hearts with icy fingers... knowing full well what merciless horrors they suffered at the swords and spears of three hundred. Yet they stare now across the plain at ten thousand Spartans commanding thirty thousand free Greeks! HA-OOH!”<br><br>“HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!”<br><br>“The enemy outnumber us a paltry three to one, good odds for any Greek. This day we rescue a world from mysticism and tyranny and usher in a future brighter than anything we can imagine. Give thanks, men, to Leonidas and the brave 300! TO VICTORY!!!”

  As a Greek i always considered the battle of Plataea as our All Star Game.
