== This is Sparta. ==
Why would Leonidas lie right before his [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]? Also, thousands of [[YoutubeYouTube Poop|Poopers]] can't be wrong.
 
== Xerxes is a Goa'uld ==
He wears a lot make up, he wears a lot of jewelry and thinks he's a god.
Oh! and he also has a very deep raspy voice.
* All we need now is for his eyes to start glowing and it's confirmed.

== The vegetation in Persia is the natural ancestor of steroids. ==
Which would explain where the Persian army got those seemingly absurd elephants and rhinos. If this theory is true, it could also be that the mutant wolf killed in the beginning was a tourist from Persia where steroid-infected herbivores are the local carnivore cuisine. Oh, and the slaughter of an innocent Persian tourist - it just wanted to say an affectionate hello, truly! - could be the real reason for the war between the Spartans and the Persians.
* Anabolic steroids are simply synthesized human testosterone. Less steroids, more 50s style ''Science!'' radiation plaguing the plants or something.
 
Line 38:
Everyone I know has been complaining that [[Spartacus: Blood and Sand]] is 300 and Gladiator tossed in a blender. I contend that Spartacus actually takes place in the same universe as 300. Spartacus is perhaps, a distant descendant of a Spartan warrior who fought in the Persian Wars.
 
== 300 takes place in the [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] setting ==
This might be a bit of a stretch but I've been thinking about it. The world where 300 takes place is a Space Marine recruitment world, probably designated a fuedal world rather than feral or death. The reason that no Astartes appear? It isn't their homeworld, so they don't have a permanent presence, just return every generation or so to oversee aspirant trials. They've set up the myths and legends to create a world with greek-inspired warriors, complete with entire other nations for them to pit themselves against. Unfortunately, during the absence of the SM the Persian king and followers have become corrupted by Chaos, probably Slaanesh as excess seems to play quite a part in their appearance in the film. After all, excess is more than just about sex, and Xerxes wants to have the biggest empire, the biggest army, he simply wants it all! It also explains the presence of purple goat/beastmen, strange rhinos, etc. And then there is the big fat executioner with blades for arms, that has to be either a chaos ogryn or a mutant of some sort.
* If he is Slaanesh, then why is Xerxes a ''[[God-Emperor]]''?
** Simple, he's got delusions of grandeur, like a lot of human cultists. He's not a traitor marine, he's from that planet, it's quite likely his knowledge of the wider galaxy is next to nothing since it's a feudal world. He doesn't even realise he's been corrupted by chaos, despite appearances he is just a pawn like every other mortal who falls under the sway of chaos.
