:52:00
But her feet, all swollen and sore.
:52:03
- Our home is far away.
- Athens?
:52:06
By the gods, no!
Have you not heard of Sparta?
:52:09
Yes. They speak little, fight much. Eat that
black broth that turns up the stomach.
:52:14
- And their girls go about naked.
- Naked?
:52:18
- That's what I heard.
- When?
:52:20
- When I was young.
- Ephialtes.
:52:23
More milk.
:52:25
No.
:52:29
I'm going to look after the goats.
I heard a wolf last night in the mountains.
:52:36
- Your son?
- You think we'd have a son like that?
:52:40
We don't know where he came from.
He just arrived one day.
:52:44
Said he had quarrelled
with the people in the valley.
:52:47
Maybe a runaway slave. Maybe a thief.
:52:50
But in the mountains,
:52:53
everyone is equal.
:52:55
Have you heard anything about the Persians?
:52:58
We see them when it's clear.
:53:02
Come with me.
:53:19
Look between those two hills.
:53:22
- Have they been there long?
- For several days. And they are still coming.
:53:27
More campfires every day.
:53:29
Lucky Thermopylae is the only way through.
:53:32
You mean it's lucky that
the Persians don't know the other way.
:53:36
- Is there another way?
- Yes. There is an old goat track.
:53:39
It winds through the mountains
and it comes down beyond the pass.
:53:44
Nobody uses it now, but it's still there.
:53:47
We must let the Spartans know. If the
Persians found it, our men would be trapped.
:53:52
King Xerxes would give much gold
to know about it, wouldn't he?
:53:57
Come inside. It's getting cold.
