The Immortals are a race of humanoid creatures that appeared in the graphic novel and its film adaptation 300.
Overview[]
These soldiers look like they are just humans when clothed and masked, but look like ogres that were possibly bred to fight the Spartans during the Battle of Thermopylae. They wore black clothing with grey armor and used swords assembling katanas. Despite being called "Immortals," it is unknown if these creatures were immortal or not.
Notes[]
- The depiction of Persians and King Xerxes in the movie has been heavily criticized in modern-day Iran due to its negative portrayal of its culture and people.
- The Immortals in real history are not monstrous-looking soldiers. They were instead, normal-looking at people who were trained to be the elite soldiers of the Persian army.
