Do you ever listen to Steven Pressfield podcasts?
Only one time but he is so interesting I look forward to listening to him more.
For sure!  Did you read the War of Art?
I have read the war of art, it wasn't my favorite I did love gates of fire and the profession though.
Was the hero doomed in Gates of Fire?
Sort of but the heros were all Spartans so dying in battle is a great honor to them so I don't think they thought they were doomed.
Intriguing!  Weren't they going to make a film out of it at one point?
I think the movie the 300 is loosely based on the book.
Oh, I thought it was based on a comic book series by Frank Miller?
Its definitely hard knowing what the movie is based off.  So many books and other items about the same event.
