Originally, these historical and fantastical tales of heroism made their way to our screens primarily through adaptations of the classics, and of Shakespeare’s plays (the earliest film adaptation of Antony and Cleopatra dates back to 1908), as well as the Biblical sword-and-sandal stories made popular by Cecil B. Martin himself has emphasized the influence of historical conflicts like the Wars of the Roses, and the history of the Capetians as chronicled by Maurice Druon in The Accursed Kings. Some of its earliest literary ancestors include everything from the Greek epics to the stories of King Arthur. In fact, one can say that Game of Thrones is a deconstruction of the epic and the fantasy genres. Roman and medieval epics have lent a lot of their aesthetic and themes to Game of Thrones. Killing more means very little in this battle, the Spartans broke the Persians physically, emotionally, and spiritually.Missing Game of Thrones yet? Our watch has just begun, so we thought it’d be interesting to explore some of the influences on HBO’s most watched show. Where were there thousands of Greeks? I saw maybe 30 (and they were useless non soldiers)? As we've already seen a cavalry charge is useless against the Spartans. The Unsullied were in open ground, completely subject to cavalry charges and arrow volleys. )Ĭorrection, 300 Spartans in addition to thousands of Greeks defended against probably 100,000+ Persians, in a narrow pass, and killed far less. Unsullied > As were the Immortals, and we saw what happened to them. The Unsullied are n owhere close Spartan skill ,whomever 10,000 Spartans aren't going to last long agaisn't 8000 Unsullied and 3 dragons.Ĭorrection, 300 Spartans in addition to thousands of Greeks defended against probably 100,000+ Persians, in a narrow pass, and killed far less. They killed elephants and ogres and other monsters. Well, 300 Spartans fought an army of over 1,000,000 Persians (movie) and killed a whole bunch of them lefiting around 30 by the end of the movie. They use the same tactics as the Spartans, and are individually far superior. By the end of the fight, 600 Unsullied remained and had killed 12,000 Dothraki.
They weren't though, the Immortals in reality weren't exceptionally trained nor exceptionally well-armedģ,000 Unsullied defended the free city of Qohor against a Dothraki Khalasar of 50,000+. They only have 50,000 men, they are pretty much As were the Immortals, and we saw what happened to them.
If you included the Others and The Children of The Forest plus savage it would be a massive stomp for GoT side. If The Khallesi uses her dragons, the Roman Empire is pretyt much is screwed, but Game of Thrones will have massive losses because of the Roman Empire training, tatics and technology. Joining other army's of Game of Thrones world we have 356,000+ men which is 14,000 men more than Roman Empire army's by the end of their empire. Joffrey - 30,000 with Tywin, whatever remains of Jaime's force, King's Landing garrison and City Watch Robb - 16,000 Northmen, however many Rivermen have joined him. Stannis - 30,000 men after Renly's death, 30 ships from Salladhor Saan Without Dragons the Game of Thrones world would have: Which is a lot even for Game of Thrones standarts. The Roman Empire had a military force of 3,750,000 men in 120 BC. The Roman Empire had an army by the end of their empire of over 350,000. If weren't for dragons Fire The White Walkers would have won. Game of Thrones had Dragons and in The LORe they were know to vaporize entire army's and only lost to creatures like The White Walkers.
