Arlen, Frank Miller when he created the Graphic Novel was not aiming for total accuracy. He told the tale as a mythic story told to others before a battle. If watched with that in mind the "inaccuracy's" make sense. 300 is a propaganda piece as told from the Spartan point of view.

The director did such a good job of adapting the source material that Warner Brothers has turned over Alan Moore's and Dave Gibbon's WATCHMEN to him to direct.
