What was the real mission of Leonidas and the 300 Spartans?
Were they always on a suicide mission?

Presented by Dr Michael Scott of Cambridge University, with contributions from nine other experts and four researchers and using the latest research, satellite positioning, and imagery, the series gives complete coverage of the story. Included is a detailed analysis of one of the oldest mysteries in history itself, what really happened to King Leonidas and his 300 Spartans at Thermopylae. Re-reading the 2500 year old text of Herodotus, the Father of History, has revealed some missing conclusions.

Putting aside the myths and legends surrounding the 300 Spartans, this documentary takes a detailed look at The Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC, leading to the last stand of the 300 Spartans, other Greeks and the Great Spartan King, Leonidas. The legend passed down is that Leonidas went to Thermopylae with a picked band of 300 Spartans to defend the narrow pass with units from other Greek cities. Then on the 3rd day of the battle, when he found out he was being surrounded, he sent most of his troops away and covered their retreat with a last stand because Spartans never retreated.

Using the original text of Herodotus, the only "contemporary" source, it examines the actions of Leonidas as commander of the Greek force of over 7000 men facing 150-200,000 Persians. Why they were there and what eventually led to the most famous last stand in history. Focusing on six key passages in the text, the real story gives a completely different picture than the legend we all know. Leonidas did not stay because Spartans never retreated, they had already retreated once in this war. He had plenty of time to retreat if he wanted to, but his actions on the last day point to something completely different. The documentary concludes that while the legend is fabulous, the real story is astonishing. Leonidas had plans for the last day, and they did not involve a suicidal last stand!
