- But he loves our country.
- Not as much as he hates Athens.
:31:05
He can never forget his two sons
were killed by the Athenians in battle.
:31:09
Dead children are not easy to forget,
Leonidas.
:31:13
To remember is one thing.
To grow bitter in hatred, that's another.
:31:16
That man is dangerous. He could sway
that council to put me in a terrible position.
:31:21
I could not disobey,
and I cannot break my word.
:31:25
What word?
:31:27
I promised Themistocles
to lead my men in defence of Thermopylae.
:31:30
Thermopylae?
But that's so far away from Sparta.
:31:33
To a Greek, no part of Greece is far away.
:31:37
You are tired, my love.
:31:40
Before the sun rises you must rest.
:31:44
It's past midnight.
:31:50
See how dark the sky is.
:31:57
When you left for Corinth,
I went to see Megistias, the old priest.
:32:02
He sacrificed a lamb and read the entrails.
:32:06
He said that there was wonderful
good fortune for both of us.
:32:11
He said that you will be the Spartan king
best remembered amongst men.
:32:17
And he said that for centuries to come,
:32:22
women will sing songs
:32:25
about my love for you.
:32:59
- This man brings an urgent message.
- What news?
