Everybody Loves a Muscle Boi”: Homos, Heroes, and Foes in Post-9/11 Spoofs of the 300 Spartans
1 “Everybody Loves a Muscle Boi”: Homos, Heroes, and Foes in Post-9/11 Spoofs of the 300 Spartans Ralph J. Poole “It’s Greek to whom?” In 2007-2008, a significant accumulation of cinematic and other visual media took up a celebrated episode of Greek antiquity recounting in different genres and styles the rise of the Spartans against the Persians. Amongst them are the documentary The Last Stand of the 300 (2007, David Padrusch), the film 300 (2007, Zack Snyder), the video game 300: March to Glory (2007, Collision Studios), the short film United 300 (2007, Andy Signore), and the comedy Meet the Spartans (2008, Jason Friedberg/Aaron Seltzer). Why is the legend of the 300 Spartans so attractive for contemporary American cinema? A possible, if surprising account for the interest in this ancient theme stems from an economic perspective. Written at the dawn of the worldwide financial crisis, the fight of the 300 Spartans has served as point of reference for the serious loss of confidence in the banking system, but also in national politics in general. William Streeter of the ABA Banking Journal succinctly wonders about what robs bankers’ precious resting hours: What a fragile thing confidence is. Events of the past six months have seen it coalesce and evaporate several times. […] This is what keeps central bankers awake at night. But then that is their primary reason for being, because the workings of economies and, indeed, governments, hinge upon trust and confidence. […] With any group, whether it be 300 Spartans holding off a million Persians at Thermopylae or a group of central bankers trying to keep a global financial community from bolting, trust is a matter of individual decisions.

Investigate Meet the Spartans (PDF 759KB)
Meet the Spartans This is Sparta! Sparta was a city state of Ancient Greece. They called the area Lacedaemon and the main city was called Sparta. In Meet the myth, they were named after King Lacedaemon, who was descended from Zeus, and Queen Sparti, the daughter of a river god. City States Spartans Nobody would have thought of themselves as ‘Greek’ in ancient times. The country was split into city states that had their own identities. Some city states you might have heard of were Athens, Delphi, Olympia and Ancient ruins of Sparta Corinth. The Spartans considered anyone who was not from Sparta to be ‘foreign’. Warriors All Spartan men were expected to be soldiers. Boys left home at the age of 7 to join a strict program of training at military school, called the agoge. They were expected to compete against each other, taught to steal without getting caught, and learnt many key survival skills. Through this tough training, Spartan males would become fine tuned, elite warriors who had excellent self discipline and prized their community. From age 20, Spartan males were considered full time soldiers and would remain in military service until they were 60. Spartan warriors supposedly used shorter swords, as they were brave enough to get closer to their enemy. They fought in full armour with red cloaks and were famous for their long hair, which they combed before battle. To die in battle was the most honourable way to die; only men who died in battle were given a named gravestone. Although the Spartans were known for their warrior culture, archaeology in Sparta has revealed much more.

The Impact of Protagonist Motivations and Key Story Moments on Real-Time Audience Identification and Liking
Creating and Maintaining Identification with Characters in Narrative Films: The Impact of Protagonist Motivations and Key Story Moments on Real-Time Audience Identification and Liking DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By John Martin Tchernev, M.A. Graduate Program in Communication The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Professor Michael D. Slater, co-Advisor Professor Zheng Wang, co-Advisor Professor Emily Moyer-Gusé Copyrighted by John Martin Tchernev 2015 Abstract Audience identification with a protagonist is perhaps the single most important determinant of audience engagement with a narrative. However, much is unknown about how or why some narratives are more effective than others at creating identification. The aim of the present research is to incorporate applied knowledge from the professional field of screenwriting and knowledge from research and theory in psychology and communication into an overarching framework for understanding audience identification. Particular emphasis is placed upon psychological theories of motivation, character liking, and screenwriting guidelines regarding character motivation and story structure, as predictors of dynamic fluctuations in audience identification. Three films were randomly selected from a list of U.S. releases in recent years. Three professional screenwriters coded the films and identified key moments in the first 40 minutes of each film that were of particular importance in screenplay structure and for establishing character motivation and liking. N = 308 participants were randomly assigned to view the first 40 minutes of a film and provide real-time ratings of feelings of either liking or identification.

Then We Will Fight in the Shade« Sparta, Comedy and Coming to Terms with Fearsome Otherness
»Then We Will Fight in the Shade« Sparta, Comedy and Coming to Terms with Fearsome Otherness SABRINA FEICKERT The Greek stand at Thermopylae in 480 BCE is one of the most famous battles in history. At the ›Hot Gates‹, a small, vastly outnumbered Greek contingent led by the Spartan king Leonidas and his 300-man bodyguard stood their ground against King Xerxes’ Persian army which outnumbered them hugely.1 The Greek historiographer Herodotus, the only contemporary source for the events of the 2nd Persian War, relates an anecdote about Spar- tan courage in his Histories2: »[…] bravest of all was declared the Spartan Dienekes. […] he was told […] that the Persian archers were so numerous that their arrows would block out the sun. Diene- kes, however, undaunted by this prospect, remarked with a laugh, ›Good. Then we will fight in the shade‹.« (Herodotus, Histories, 7.226.1-2) The Spartans did fight and, after three days of heroic efforts, were cut down to the last man. Crucially, however, their sacrifice delayed Xerxes long enough for the allied Greek forces to be able to retreat and regroup. The Persian army marched on, but was soon defeated by the Greeks on land and 1 I do not intend to discuss the historical accuracy of 300 or the political intentions of its producer. For a detailed analysis of the battle at Thermopylae cf. Cartledge 2007. 2 Herodotus’ anecdote is also one of the most famous examples of the Spartan lacon- ic wit, Laconia being the polis territory that surrounded the city of Sparta. In Spar- tan education, a lot of weight was put on the training of oral expression.
