You do know that Persia were fighting the greeks not Rome?

Edit: You probably do know that a few months after that fight the persians did conquer Athen and Greece? Not the best metaphor in my opinion to choose.

 

Please source that. Wiki and Discovery channel says persia retreated.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Thermopylae#Aftermath

That's mine.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerxes_I_of_Persia#Invasion_of_the_Greek_mainland

"After Thermopylae, Athens was conquered, and the Athenians and Spartans were driven back to their last line of defense at the Isthmus of Corinth and in the Saronic Gulf."

The reason the persians left Greece was because a revolt in Babylon.

"Due to unrest in Babylon, Xerxes was forced to send his army home to prevent a revolt, leaving behind an army in Greece under Mardonius, who was defeated the following year at Plataea in 479 BC. "

Edit : Also if you read the aftermath you refrenced is says that the persians sacked athens and controlled all of greece. Just a historical fact. You didn't think that the film was true did you? It was semi-based on history, not really true.

No, I just didnt read that paragraph. And I fail to recall hearing that on Discovery. lol. I've been up 24 hours now.
