Not exactly sure if anybody knows this, but 300 is based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller (Sin City, Elektra) based on the Battle Of Thermopylae, which occured in 480 B.C. wherein 300 Spartan warriors held back and almost decimated most of the soldiers of King Xerxes' Persian army.

In the Battle of Thermopylae of 480 BC an alliance of Greek city-states fought the invading Persian army in the pass of Thermopylae. Vastly outnumbered, the Greeks delayed the enemy in one of the most famous last stands of history. A small force led by King Leonidas of Sparta blocked the only road through which the massive army of Xerxes I could pass. The Persians succeeded in defeating the Greeks but sustained heavy losses, disproportionate to those of the Greeks. A local resident named Ephialtes betrayed the Greeks, revealing a mountain path that led behind the Greek lines. Dismissing the rest of the army, King Leonidas stayed behind with 300 Spartans and 700 Thespian volunteers. Though they knew it meant their own deaths, they secured the retreat of the other Greek forces.

Historians have this as the estimated tally of each sides' armies:

THE PERSIAN ARMY:
Fleet crew 517,610
Infantry 1,700,000
Cavalry 80,000
Arabs and Libyans 20,000
Greek allies 324,000
-----------------------
TOTAL 2,641,610

THE GREEKS:
Spartans 300
Mantineans 500
Tegeans 500
Arcadian Orchomenos 120
Other Arcadians 1,000
Corinthians 400
Phlians 200
Mycenaeans 80
Thespians 700
Thebans 400
Phocians 1,000
Opuntian Locrians All they had.
---------------------
TOTAL 5,200+
