They had help at the pass too. It was 300 Spartans out of about 7k total forces. Even the last stand had more non Spartans than Spartans.

Indeed, I find the sacrifice of the 700 Thespians more impressive.

Tryna tell me art-kids fought off Persian Immortals? Come off it, m8

Well, technically speaking, neither did the Spartans as the pass was indeed forced by the Persian.

Couldn't be, must've let 'em through on purpose.

Ain't no way ancient Persians could kill anyone in Mjolnir armor except by starvation.
