wordsmithing: "historical fiction" -> "fiction"
The battle of Thermopylae was considered to be a key battle in preventing the overrunning of Western civilization by Eastern invaders.
A movie was made about this battle in 2007 named "300". However, the movie was based upon the highly stylized graphic novel by Frank Miller and so mixes historical fact with historical fiction.<ref>http://www.townhall.com/columnists/VictorDavisHanson/2007/03/22/300_fact_or_fiction</ref>
