Скачать или смотреть The Battle of Thermopylae | Greco-Persian War | Animated History Documentary

Leonidas of Sparta and Themistocles of Athens found themselves at the center of a storm neither initiated but both intended to confront. One led a landlocked society of warriors, shaped by tradition; the other, a burgeoning naval power molded by trade, discussion, and ambition. They did not have a formal alliance when the Persian Empire first threatened the Aegean, but they understood, in their distinct ways, that another invasion was imminent. Themistocles saw it in shipyards and silver mines, urging Athens to build a fleet many citizens deemed superfluous. Leonidas perceived it in the cracks of Greek politics: the rivalries, the self-satisfaction, the reluctance to act. As Xerxes mustered the largest invasion force the Greek world had ever seen, these two men prepared not for personal glory, but to gain time—time to resist, to unite, to hold out. Their choices, stemming from disparate cities and values, would meet at a narrow pass known as Thermopylae.
