Shout out to the OP because this twitter account is incredible. Breh really knows history and always come with the receipts. 
Yup, whole movie was a propaganda fest. Frank Miller, who wrote the original comic, was a right-wing libertarian. There were a few other things in there that were historically inaccurate but meant to feed a message.
* The Spartan hero of the movie calls the Athenians "boy lovers". But in reality, the Spartans themselves had man-boy sexual relationships institutionalized into their schools.
* The Persian ambassador says some nasty shyt about Spartan women. But in reality, those lines were from the Greek Philosopher Plutarch
* The traitor, Ephialtes, wasn't disabled in real life. The writer just turned him into a disabled guy so he could make a sick point about hating weakness
Look at these quotes from Frank Miller:
Translation: He's portraying violent slave-owning fascists as heroes necessary to save democracy. He then re-writes history to make their violent fascism palatable to a modern audience.

Wow. I didn't realize that film was such a Birth of A Nation-esque whitewashing. It's interesting how white folks will blatantly rewrite history in order to push propaganda, but will then turn around and complain about "accuracy" when it comes to fairy tale characters like The Little Mermaid
King Cyrus. Bless that man for conquering the and uniting two horns of the world at that time (Eurasia).
Honestly you have to take any work of historical fiction from antiquity that paints Persians as villains with a TUB of salt. Most of the romanization of the Greeks/Romans came from the dark/middle ages in Northern Europe where they were desperately trying to reform the Roman Empire around a Judeo-Christian identity.
Meanwhile, most of the middle east and North Africa and parts of Moorish Spain were years ahead of Europe technologically. And lets not even get started on China. But the Persians were the most democratic society of their time, part of how they were able to conquer so much land was because of their inclusive style of governance.
Not to mention they call Alexander of Macedon "the Great" when dude might have been one of the worst statesmen of all time. He's history's example of "winning the war" goes far beyond winning battles. Greek influence in Persia's era was shorter than leprechauns. Ptolemy was the only one that held his shyt together but he was in Egypt.
Persia is modern day Iran.
Saw this earlier & breh has his foot permanently on their necks.Most of what’s taught as ‘history’ is fabricated. And in our lifetime, a lot of us will see how Nazis would go from being villains - to heroes.
The pure unadulterated truth about how disgusting and backwards Vikings were. These movies and television shows today ain't telling how those barbaric, nasty b*stards really got down.

the one part that bro missed was that the greco roman empires got their game from the kemetic empire. well greece did directly, who then got their game stolen/donated/inherited byy rome.

This is the type of energy that needs to go against the head in the sand cacs that swear white folks could walk on water, when that's far from the truth.
Funny I tried watching 300 and couldn't get through the first few minutes of the movie. Like I knew the shyt was wild cap despite not knowing much about greek mythology.
