:46:04
We have 271 ships lying in the straits.
:46:08
The Persians are in the bay beyond.
:46:10
1200 warships,
with a good number of auxiliary craft.
:46:15
- Then we are outnumbered six to one.
- Yes.
:46:17
But geography is on our side. In the narrow
waters we can give them a good fight.
:46:22
- How many men have you brought?
- 300 Spartans.
:46:27
- 300?
- My personal bodyguard.
:46:30
Other Spartans will follow after the festival.
:46:33
- Another festival?
- We are religious people.
:46:37
I know.
:46:39
Some day I may enter religion myself.
:46:42
It's better than politics.
:46:45
With the gods behind you,
you can be far more irresponsible.
:46:50
Themistocles, we invoked divine help coming
here. This is no time for impious remarks.
:46:58
Forgive me... friend.
:47:04
Greetings, friends. Leonidas.
:47:07
Demophilus.
:47:08
We've heard all of Sparta's on the march.
:47:10
I've been riding since sunrise trying
to catch up. Your men move like lightning.
:47:15
- They have an appointment at Thermopylae.
- Yes, we heard about that too.
:47:19
Can my warriors of Thespiae join you?
:47:21
- There's always room. How many of you?
- About 700. All volunteers.
:47:26
I couldn't hold them back when they heard
about Sparta leading us in this war.
:47:31
- Where do we find you?
- Thermopylae at daybreak.
:47:34
The rest of our armies join us there.
:47:36
Wonderful. But don't start
the killing before we arrive.
:47:39
You Spartans go wild when
you smell the enemy. Leave some for us.
:47:43
- We are Greeks, too.
- At Thermopylae.
:47:48
"We are Greeks, too. "
:47:50
Did you hear what that man said?
:47:53
Can this be the beginning
of the miracle we've been waiting for?
:47:59
Let us pray so.
