Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
Writer-artist Frank Miller and colorist Lynn Varley retell the battle of Thermopylae in the exciting and moving graphic novel 300. They focus on King Leonidas, the young foot soldier Stelios, and the storyteller Dilios to highlight the Spartans' awe-inspiring toughness and valor. Miller and Varley's art is terrific, as always; the combat scenes are especially powerful. And Miller's writing is his best in years. Read it.
Do not, however, read 300 expecting a strictly accurate history. The Phocians did not "scatter," as Miller describes. His Spartans are mildly homophobic, which is goofy in such a gay society. Miller doesn't say how many Greeks remained for the climactic battle--you'd think 300 Spartans and maybe a dozen others, when there were between 700 and 1,100 Greeks. Herodotus's Histories does not identify the traitor Ephialtes as ugly and hunchbacked, or even as Spartan. 300 establishes a believable connection between Ephialtes's affliction and behavior, but his monstrous appearance, King Xerxes's effeminacy, and the Persians' inexplicable pierced-GenX-African looks make for an eyebrow-raising choice of villain imagery. Nonetheless, 300 is a brilliant dramatization.
For the full story of the failed invasion, read Herodotus's Histories or, for a concise, graphic-novel retelling, Larry Gonick's great Cartoon History of the Universe: Volumes 1-7, From the Big Bang to Alexander the Great. For a lighthearted look at post-invasion Athens and a very young Alexander the Great, check out William Messner-Loebs and Sam Kieth's witty and gorgeous graphic novels, Epicurus the Sage Vol. I and Vol. II. --Cynthia Ward

Kundenrezensionen
The artwork is what we have come to expect from Miller, and the storyline replays the same old pattern that Miller seems to be stuck in, ABSOLUTE GOOD vs. ABSOLUTE EVIL...a sophomoric attitude,yes, but perhaps approprate for a comic book level of understanding the world. Certainly Miller is no Philosopher or Historian, and I do not think he would or could claim to be either. He can, however, draw a good comic, with lots of action, adventure, and characters whose motivations are not discommoded with a lot of reflection or critical thought processes. Enjoyable reading which does not ask a lot of the Fanboy's brain whilst immersed in the story. (BAD Persians! GOOD Greeks!...)
Perhaps "Batman" would have been a better protagonist to use with this storyline, some setting in another time and place certainly, with the disclaimer "LOOSELY based on the battle of Thermopylae"...for when a comic book artist aspires to historical scholarship, it is generally history which loses out, as we see in this case.
When the "300" series was announced, I took notice, both out of anticipation and shock. I was amazed that he was turning his attentions to such a large project. The result was a beautiful piece of work, and it's made better in this oversize hardcover, due to the fact that the pages are presented in their intended format: wide-angle spreads, some as panoramic as a movie.
Telling the story of the battle of Thermopylae is a BIG task, but considering he only had 6 issues, Miller does a fantastic job. The story was a bit lacking in some spots, but overall, I was impressed. It's not a wholly fact-based account. He has taken the general story and added some made-up characters, events, etc., to make it flow.
The Art... after seeing Miller do stark black and white with little detail for so long, I was doubting if he'd be able to recapture the feel present in so many of his classic works. He does, even exceeding them in some cases. His art for this story has so much depth , and it's made more powerful by Lynn Varley's coloring.
A beautiful book overall. If you'd like to read another fictionalized account, check out "Gates of Fire" by Pressfield.
