When Leonidas told the hunchback, I hope you live forever, that was the greatest insult a Spartan would give because it meant you would never die a glorious death for Sparta.
Historically, Spartans were known for their smack talk. "Then we will fight in the shade." and "Come and get them!" are from the historical story. Spartans were also known for honoring their elders because those men were badass enough to survive that long.
Leonidas telling Ephialtes "May you live forever", is one of the worst insults you could give to a spartan. To live forever is to never know glory, never see Elysium after death, and suffer with his betrayal for eternity. In fact, he was only ever remembered for the betrayal, his name itself means "a nightmare".
(Shows narrator in first scene) 2 hours later: "Who's the narrator?" 😂😂😂
"Come back with your shield, or on it" An actual Spartan tradition was to carry deceased soldiers back home, using their shield as something like a backboard. The shield was also viewed as THE MOST VALUABLE piece of equipment, more than their helmet, more than their sword. Because it protected the brother next to them, in the phalanx formation. Losing your shield was the most dishonorable thing you could do. So the Queen is essentially telling him "Protect your brothers, or die trying", and Leonidas would not disapoint his Queen.
When the spartan king ask his men “what is your profession?” They scream a war cry showing that fighting is their only profession.
I went to Thermopylae for my once-in-a-lifetime trip to Greece. There are plaques and statues dedicated to Leonidas and his men. There is rock steps that lead up a small hill and on the top is a stone placard with wording. I didn't know what it said but I felt a quietness and something I just cannot describe. When I went back to my hotel, I looked it up. I was standing on the burial mound of the 300 Spartans and the stone slab was a tribute to their last stand with the Persians. Lets just say I was freaked the hell out. But an experience I will never forget.
Fun fact: Zack Snyder's son Eli appears as a key character in a few of his films. He was the younger child Leonidas in '300'. He was young Rorschach in 'Watchmen'. He was a featured soldier and bus passenger in 'Sucker Punch'.
