    lets consider for a moment the fact the entire movie is told as a story, a legend told by a spartan. every characiture, monster, etc, is all embellishment told by the spartan story-teller, based on their perecption of the evil persian empire. that settles it for me.

    Doesn't really match my understanding of the Spartan attitude to these things nevermind concerning defeated enemies. Plus painting a foe your audience might well end up fighting some day as the hellspawn of Hades doesn't strike me as particularly brilliant, either. Au contraire you'd think the telling of the story specifically emphasized how very mortally human the somewhat imposing Persians were...

    Side note: didn't Persian financial aid have a rather important role in the ultimate Spartan victory in the Peloponnesian War...?
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."
