@bawnian-dexeus Well, the true story behind this is that while the 300 were at Thermopylae there was another battle taking place at the same time and that is the battle of Salamis which took place in the straights of Artemisium. It was a Navel battle for the most part and a took place on a much larger scale. (i am a history buff...what can i say).
But ya i see what your saying. Putting 300 before this other navel battle is, like i said a ploy to get people interested but like you said....they could have just dont the blah blah blah stufff on the poster. But my point is that these battles were happening at around the same time.

@skywise Agreed. But they could easily do the whole:
"Before King Leonidas blah blah blah"
From executive producer Zack Snyder and the producers of 300 and so on and so forth
