[300] so what exactly was the goat headed creature chilling with the Persians?

Was it a pagan god, a demon, baphomet? Was he summoned through ritual or has he physically visited the party? Is it just a captured cryptid? Is he a slave, a guest, an entertainer or a being of worship?

What you have to realize, is that the whole thing is being told from the point of view of Dilios. He was the only one to survive the battle. He’s trying to rouse the troops at Plataea. The whole movie is basically told from an unreliable narrator. So, the goat-man, the guy with the blades for hands, everything that seems unnatural, is a complete fabrication and exaggeration to make the Persians sound fantastic and evil.
