I know what happened at Thermopylae. I did a study on it in my Grade 12 History class. What I'm saying is that in the context of the film, there isn't much more than "Oh look, Xerxes took over everything, and only me and my men can stop him". I mean, I liked the movie (enough to see it again on Friday night with my friend), and it works as a pure action film, but it is what it is.
On another note, everyone in the audience laughed at the goat in Xerxes' tent. Both times.
