The story takes place in 480 BC, when the Persian Emperor Darius I wanted to include Greece in his territory, and in order to achieve this goal, he sent a strong army to prepare to invade Greece itself.

These warriors were elite and highly trained warriors who were loyal to the country and would rather sacrifice their lives to defend the honor of Sparta.
After reaching the narrow gorge of popular polis, Leonidas and his 300 warriors faced the sheer force of the Persian army.
