: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.
:54:00
We'll talk there.
:54:02
I don't want you to get sick, too.
:54:22
This is called
the middle gate of Thermopylae.
:54:25
It is too narrow for fighting in open order.
:54:28
We will use our special tactics
for close-in fighting.
:54:32
And the rest can learn
from watching the Spartans.
:54:37
Shall we keep the men in their own units?
:54:40
Yes. Men prefer to die among their friends.
:54:51
- Who are you?
- I am a goatherd.
:54:53
I know these mountains well.
I have come to tell you there is a path
:54:57
leading through them from the north.
