Title: Greek filmgoers ignore critics of `300' (AP)
Description:

The bronze statue of Spartan King Leonidas,  left,  is seen at  Thermopylae, which lies about 200 kilometers (125 miles) north of Athens marking the site where according to legend 300 Spartans held off hundreds of thousands of invading Persians in 480 BC . The '300', a Hollywood recreation of the battle based on Frank Miller's graphic novel has had record box-office sales in the US and Greece. (AP Photo/Dimitri Messiniss)AP - Greece's critics hated "300," but moviegoers here are lining up to watch the gory recreation of the Battle of Thermopylae in record numbers — happy to lap up the Hollywood thrills and take an indulgent view of what detractors call a butchery of their ancient history.
