:21:01
When can you march?
:21:04
I must speak to the council first.
:21:06
But once we start,
we march faster than any soldiers on earth.
:21:11
In the meantime, you can send a small force
of Athenians to occupy the pass.
:21:15
No. Don't let's deceive ourselves.
:21:18
No Greek will stir
until he sees the Spartans march.
:21:22
Actually march, you know.
Thrump, thrump, thrump.
:21:26
Red cloaks, flutes and all.
:21:28
I know. Only this will unite Greece.
I'll leave at once.
:21:33
I'll deploy the ships and meet you
in this bay of Locris. You and your men.
:21:39
We'll be there.
:21:51
Agathon! I thought I should
never see you again. What happened?
:21:55
- I was a guest of the Persians.
- And escaped?
:21:58
- He gave me a horse.
- Why?
:22:00
So I could tell the Greeks what I have seen.
:22:02
- Why were you not in council?
- Because I'm not a good liar.
:22:06
I don't want to frighten them.
:22:09
- Then the army is as enormous as they say?
- Leonidas...
:22:13
It is bigger than anything you can imagine.
:22:16
For six days I watched them pass. Six days!
:22:19
I ran out of numbers and still more of them
came. They're drinking the rivers dry.
:22:24
And at night, there are more of their
campfires than there are stars in the sky.
:22:33
Good.
:22:35
When I was a boy, I always wanted
to reach the stars with my spear.
