Persia was more advanced than Greece at the time, and the "300" (not mentioned, the couple thousand hellots they brought who also died, or the Theban contingent whose home sold them out and had nowhere to retreat to) did just about gently caress and all. Sparta didn't enter the war until the Athenian led fleet won decisively at Salamis and effectively ended the Persian campaign. Whatever you think of the Persian war, the takeaway about Sparta is that they were a pile of useless nazis who hung back while others did the bleeding.
