Marching from Sparta to Thermopylae is no easy feat even for the Spartan army deemed at the peak of the human physical prowess. To face the oncoming onslaught of the invading Persian army, the 300 Spartan soldiers marched onward to defend their homeland despite the overwhelming number of enemies.

This historical battle that took place in Thermopylae was dramatically re-envisioned in the graphic novel 300 by writer/artist extraordinaire Frank Miller. With his superb paneling and solid inking and shadowing, the dark, gritty story of Spartan King Leonidas and 300 of his bravest men was perfectly captured in his comic book format retelling which was gracefully complemented by Lynn Varley’s superb coloring.

The 300 graphic novels have grown in popularity since its transition to the silver screen courtesy of Director Zack Snyder. The 300 movie used the comic book itself as the script and storyboards that it seems that every panel jumped to life, much to the amazement of hardcore comic geeks the world over.

Collector fans of both the movie and the graphic novel have looked to add more 300 memorabilia into their collections, and Dungeon Knight makes this possible by offering their wide range of 300 movie replicas such as their 300 greaves or shin protective armor.

No 300 Spartan soldier outfit is complete without these greaves or leg guards from Dungeonknight.com.

Measuring in at 24 and a half inches tall, these greaves are made of steel, which is then plated with antique brass to capture that golden shine from both the graphic novel and the movie. And with the sturdy fastenings on the strap, you’ll be sure these greaves won’t come off easily, and that nobody will be calling you “Stumblios” any time soon.
