  1. Partially true, but the real (original) reason why they're called "immortals" is because a Greek who spent some time at the Persian court with the Shahenshah had misheard the word, the Persian name for the elite force sounds very similar to their word for "immortal".

  2. The 300 film borrows heavily from Ancient Greek propaganda but has a lot of historical accuracies (you read that right) that debunk many of Herodotus' claims, in fact in the film itself it weren't just 300 Spartans and the allies were mentioned. The focus just lied on the Spartans.
