Greece,
that hard and timeless land
:00:24
where even the stones speak -
of man's courage,
:00:27
of his endurance, of his glory.
:00:30
And none more eloquently
than this lonely pillar in a desolate pass
:00:34
some 200 miles north of modern Athens.
:00:38
Across the hush of 24 centuries,
this is the story of a turning point in history.
:00:43
Of a blazing day
when 300 Greek warriors fought here,
:00:47
to hold with their lives
their freedom...
:00:49
and ours.
