Agathon.
:07:19
Gryllus. What evil wind has blown you
into this scorpions' nest?
:07:23
- I am here with Demaratus.
- You are with Xerxes.
:07:26
I am in his camp, but not with him.
:07:28
You know, after all, Demaratus was once
our king in Sparta, before he was exiled.
:07:33
I'm not interested in Demaratus.
:07:35
Kings have their ways, but you,

There is no man who can match him
:08:33
in courage and skill in battle.
Nor in devotion to his country.
:08:37
You seem to have great regard

:08:41

I have never yet met the man
