I watched the movie 300 and 300: Rise of an Empire today at different time periods. They were a series of movies. Both of the movies were about one of the biggest warfare that the Greeks had every went through. It was known as the Persian war, but was a series of different wars during different time. It lasted for 100 years. The first movie 300, was about the story of a brave Spartan king Leonidas and 300 Spartans. It was the time when the Spartans defended the beach with a huge mountain cliff on one side, the ocean on the other side, a valley between two giant cliffs that has a width of 15 meters, and an army of thousands of Persians on the land in front. They spent 3 days guarding that little valley behind them. They fought off 5 armies of Persians, but was killed at last because of a traitor of Greece who told the Persians to send troops from the other side of the valley and surround them. The Spartans never backed up, they fought to their last breath. King Leonidas was killed the pouring rain of arrows.

The second movie Rise of an Empire, was about the warfare after the 300 brave Spartan died, the Greeks came together under the lead of king Themistocles. He led not just Spartans, but Athenians, to the warfare. He and his brave army defeated the Persians and brought them to the end.

Both of the movies are good, but they were very bloody. I wish that they can make more of those movies.
