That's right - blatant plagiarism - not just in the theme's chord progressions but in nearly every aspect of the piece's production. What is perhaps the most recognizable theme from that film, the grandiose identity for Leonidas and Sparta heard in "Returns a King", was quickly revealed to be an exact rehash of Elliot Goldenthal's "Victorius Titus" from the 1999, Shakespearian revenge-tragedy Titus.
Furthermore, anyone even remotely familiar with Tyler Bates' contribution to the original 300 will also understand why that composer's return might rub salt into a few, deep wounds. Given the altered focus of this new installment and Zack Snyder's comparatively minimal involvement, it's not surprising that a new composer would come on board to tackle it. Promising to be every bit as graphic, theatrically-staged, duochromatic, and testosterone-pumping as 300, this companion film focuses on Athenian politician and general Themistocles (guess which profession we'll get to see more of) as he commands the Greek allied navy at the battles of Artemisium and Salamis against the ferocious, Greco-Persian Commander Artemisia I of Caria (Eva Green).
Concurrent with many of the events of Zack Snyder's original smash-hit 300 (and indeed, many things were smashed), Noam Murro's 300: Rise of an Empire revolves around the less frequently referenced naval battles of the second Persian invasion of Greece.
