Leonidas dismissed the bulk of the Greek army, and remained to guard the rear with 300 Spartans, 700 Thespians, 400 Thebans and perhaps a few hundred others, the vast majority of whom were killed. There were 7400 other soldiers protecting Greece. The rough gauge of the amount of Persians soldiers were 4 million.
Yes. The battle did really happen in real life. 300 men could fight a huge army but they would just die.
