Phylon.
:03:08
Ellas.
:03:17
- You're a Spartan again.
- Leonidas took me back into the army.
:03:21
- You must have done something wonderful.
- Nothing another Spartan wouldn't do.
:03:25
- How are you now?
- My fever's all gone.
:03:28
Old Toris made me a bowl of herbs.
She's so kind.
:03:32
I can look at you again.
I'm no longer ashamed of myself.
:03:35
I've never been ashamed of you.
I knew you were always a good soldier.
:03:41
- But...
- Yes?
:03:43
I've been watching Samos and Toris.
They're such good and simple people.
:03:48
They know nothing about honour and glory.
:03:51
But Toris knows that every night
her man will be sleeping at her side.
:03:55
They live for themselves. They do no harm.
:03:59
Is it a crime to want to live in peace?
:04:03
No, Ellas. But you shouldn't speak like that.
:04:06
- Why, you yourself gave me the shield.
- I know. I know it all.
:04:10
I know that for a Spartan,
life is a kind of preparation for death.
:04:15
But why should a love like ours go down
and be trampled in dirt and blood?
:04:20
We must be ready to die for our country.
But we don't have to die.
:04:26
- I want to live and come to you with victory.
- Victory? Did you see the enemy out there?
:04:31
And there are only 300 of you.
:04:33
We have men from other cities. Good men.
:04:36
Everybody expects the Spartans to die first.
:04:39
- Why hasn't the Spartan army arrived?
- They will come.
:04:42
- When?
- I don't know, but they will come.
:04:46
Our people won't abandon us.
:04:56
- Those are the horses of Leonidas.
- That's my aunt's servant riding them.
