I will earn my father's armor, noble king...
-
...by serving you in the battle.
-
A fine thrust.
-
I will kill many Persians.

Raise your shield.- Sire?- Raise your shield as high as you can.

Your father should have taught youhow our phalanx works.
-
We fight as a single, impenetrable unit.
-
That is the source of our strength.

A single weak spotand the phalanx shatters.

From thigh to neck, Ephialtes.
