Phylon.
1:07:17
Ellas.
1:07:27
- You're a Spartan again.
- Leonidas took me back into the army.
1:07:31
- You must have done something wonderful.
- Nothing another Spartan wouldn't do.
1:07:35
- How are you now?
- My fever's all gone.
1:07:38
Old Toris made me a bowl of herbs.
She's so kind.
1:07:42
I can look at you again.
I'm no longer ashamed of myself.
1:07:45
I've never been ashamed of you.
I knew you were always a good soldier.
1:07:50
- But...
- Yes?
1:07:53
I've been watching Samos and Toris.
They're such good and simple people.
1:07:58
They know nothing about honour and glory.
1:08:01
But Toris knows that every night
her man will be sleeping at her side.
1:08:04
They live for themselves. They do no harm.
1:08:08
Is it a crime to want to live in peace?
1:08:12
No, Ellas. But you shouldn't speak like that.
1:08:16
- Why, you yourself gave me the shield.
- I know. I know it all.
1:08:20
I know that for a Spartan,
life is a kind of preparation for death.
1:08:25
But why should a love like ours go down
and be trampled in dirt and blood?
1:08:30
We must be ready to die for our country.
But we don't have to die.
1:08:35
- I want to live and come to you with victory.
- Victory? Did you see the enemy out there?
1:08:41
And there are only 300 of you.
1:08:43
We have men from other cities. Good men.
1:08:45
Everybody expects the Spartans to die first.
1:08:48
- Why hasn't the Spartan army arrived?
- They will come.
1:08:52
- When?
- I don't know, but they will come.
1:08:55
Our people won't abandon us.
