The battle of 300 champions was the largest duel ever. The duel occurred between 300 champions each of Sparta and Argos. The intent was to settle their dispute over the city of Thyrea without an all-out battle that would cost thousands of lives. While the result is contested, in the end, the Spartans won the dispute through conventional force of arms.

Information is derived from a number of historical sources including websites, historians, and literature. The fog of history is a real thing, even relatively recent events often have sources in disagreement or relying on one another. When possible information is derived from first-hand sources and where not possible information is found by taking multiple second-hand sources. It is not possible for anyone to guarantee perfect historical accuracy, but I do my absolute best to ensure that all information in my videos is well sourced and backed up by historical sources and evidence.
