    Default Myrmidons v.s Spartans

    Who would win? Flat plain, no trees, no surpises, full army.

    300 myrmida v.s 300 Spartan hoplites.

    Who wins?

    Myrmidons. Simply because they were mythological and super-human.

    Even though the Spartans were renowned as the greatest warriors in Greece?
    Heck, they beat 1,000,000 Persians with merely 300 men. And only then were beaten by a traitor revealing a way to rear flank them.

    They did not beat a million Persians. That number is overinflated. Spartans are not gods. They are men. Elite men. But men.

    I know.
    Still, they are the best warriors even to grace the Balkans with thier existance...at least until the Romans.

    That was after they were in decline.

    But, yeah, anyway. I guess the Myrmidons would win...but the sparts would give a helluva fight, though. They are good.

    The fight would be about two months long, but Myrmidons, being completely ridiculous, would win... but not by a lot.
    Blargh!

    You are living in a fairy tale world, boy. So what's the point in comparing mythological warriors to historical warriors?

    If the Myrmidons all fought like Brad Pitt then the spartans would beat them with easy.
