:54:00
We'll talk there.
:54:02
I don't want you to get sick, too.
:54:22
This is called
the middle gate of Thermopylae.
:54:25
It is too narrow for fighting in open order.
:54:28
We will use our special tactics
for close-in fighting.
:54:32
And the rest can learn
from watching the Spartans.
:54:37
Shall we keep the men in their own units?
:54:40
Yes. Men prefer to die among their friends.
:54:51
- Who are you?
- I am a goatherd.
:54:53
I know these mountains well.
I have come to tell you there is a path
:54:57
leading through them from the north.
:55:00
It's a bad path, but the Persians could use it.
:55:05
We know there is a path.
Our scouts are looking, but can't find it.
:55:08
I can show the way.
It runs by the Callidromus mountain.
:55:12
We'd better hurry, sir. The accursed
barbarians are probably looking for it, too.
:55:17
Agathon, dispatch all the Phocian troops.
Have them block that path and guard it.
:55:23
Thank you, my friend.
If I had gold I would give it to you.
:55:27
All we have is armour.
Take the best sword you can find.
:55:30
I don't do this for gold.
:55:33
And I'm too old to use a sword.
:55:35
If I were younger, I would bring my own
sword and be standing with you in battle.
:55:41
Let's go, friend. It's a long walk.
:55:45
Xerxes has men in millions. We have Greeks.
