Sabaton - Sparta (Cover на Русском by Alex_PV)

Hi! We present to Your attention a new video: Sabaton - Sparta (Cover на Русском by Alex_PV). The feat of three hundred Spartans in the battle of the Thermopilian Gorge, which happened back in 480 BC, is a vivid example of courage and heroism. The Battle of Thermopylae is one of the key battles of the Greco-Persian wars. The Persian king Xerxes gathered a huge army to invade Europe and conquer the Greek city-states. According to modern scholars, the number of Persian troops, which actually consisted of representatives of many different nations, ranged from 80 to 250 thousand. The united Greek army was led by the Spartan king Leonid. He rejected all Xerxes proposals. Then the ambassador conveyed the order of the Persian king to lay down his arms, to which the Greek king Leonid answered "MOLON LABE", which means "Come and take it." This phrase has become legendary. Of course, a separate conversation deserves the personal guard of Leonid consisting of those same 300 Spartans. The number of soldiers in the guard was always constant, if one died, then the other occupied him. The Spartans in Greece earned the glory of the most daring and undaunted warriors. “Win together or die together!” - that was their motto. The clip used frames from the film "The 300 Spartans" (1962). #SpartaCover
