>mfw in 300 Leonidas calls the Athenians "boylovers" when in fact pederasty was far more common in Sparta than it was in Athens and was basically institutionalized as part of the agoge

Wow, it's almost like 300 was based off of a graphic novel that was very loosely based on history.
Here's another shocker, there were 300 Spartans at Thermopylae but there were also over a thousand other soldiers fighting alongside them, not just the handful of Athenians you see in the movie.
nah, they fucked full grown hairy muscular tanned sweaty men

at least the story of Othryades is still untainted
>>79650718
And how Leonidas constantly brought up the Persian institution of slavery as an example of how evil they were while the Spartans literally hunted slaves for sport.
>athenians fucked boys
>spartans fucked men
That's the difference
all the spartans were gay because it made them better warriors. FACT

>nearly finished

>>79651259
You should Ephorce yourself to finish ;^)
>>79651109
Weird. The ONLY people I've ever seen mention 300's historical accruracy are triggered history autists like yourself. Everyone else just says "heh cool action movie".
Raping your enemies is probably the most evil thing you can do to them
