Pelopidas, the first commander of the Sacred Band, was part of an uprising against a Theban oligarchy and one of the statesmen involved in the new Theban democratic regime. Lived a humble and modest life, gave most of his wealth away, led an untried unit to some of the most glorious victories of his day, and died as he lived - fighting tyranny like a badass. I’d pay my own blood to see a miniseries around him.
The real 300 right here. I need this on the silver screen stat
