s legendary cheapness, Corman had actually arranged for the services of 500 soldiers from the local Greek army garrison.

That is also why the battle scenes are filmed in close-up combat between individual soldiers or small groups of soldiers rather than in long shots of masses of battling infantry, as Corman had originally planned.
