Write a paper on the Persian Wars or on the three-hundred Spartans at the battle of the
Thermopylae. The paper must focus exclusively on the way the writers and director of the film have decided to
represent the Persians (king, soldiers, court, conversations, speeches, etc.) in 2007, the year of the film
release. You may also want to consider the graphic novel (1998) on which the film is based.
The paper must include the way the Persians used to represent themselves in images and writing and the way
in which the Athenians represented the Persians in images and writing. Please create an appropriate thesis in
favor of the research topic and its required context
