Couple little points about the Spartan heroes; their princes (i.e., Leonidas) were exempted from the abusive elements of training; and all Spartan warriors had to stalk & kill an unsuspecting slave...not a wolf. (BTW; Xerxes had to kill a lion.) I won't even go into their bizarre social/family relations except to say after a boy reached seven, his full time home was with his barracks buddies; including after marriage.Back to the movie; evryone is entitled to an opinion, and there's plenty of material out there on "300" short of sitting thru it for 2 hours. I just don't understand the fanatical loyalty to this thing.
