Resumo

This contribution aims to perform an iconographical and aesthetic analysis of the image of the Persian empire as it is shown on the cinematographical adaptation of the graphic novel by Frank Miller, “300” (Z. Snyder, 2007). The point of departure of the analysis is the assumption that the deformed image projected in the film obeys more to the poetic turn of picturing the Persian reality from the point of view of the Spartans, offering nothing more than a new version of the strangeness of otherness, which stresses sensationalism and tries to present some kind of imperial image of the Achaemenid King and his people.
