1:28:18
My lord.
1:28:20
Artemisia.
1:28:22
Surely you at least must be
the bearer of good tidings.
1:28:25
Would that I were.
1:28:28
- Artemisia. You are hurt?
- No. I'm all right.
1:28:31
But your fleet had no more success today
than your army.
1:28:34
And three of my ships were sunk.
1:28:37
Even the gods seem to conspire against me.
1:28:40
My ships falter, my troops in revolt...
1:28:43
Seized by fear that spreads
like leprosy through the camp.
1:28:47
- What am I to do?
- Halt these senseless attacks
1:28:51
which the Greeks are turning into victories,
demoralising your men.
1:28:54
Another day of this
and your own troops will destroy you.
1:28:58
You must stop this war.
1:29:00
With two of my brothers slain?
And Leonidas still in the pass?
1:29:04
I've sworn to destroy him.
1:29:06
This is Hydarnes' fault!
1:29:09
When the Immortals failed,
all others lost heart.
1:29:14
Heart.
1:29:16
Yes.
1:29:17
I'll have his heart for this.
1:29:20
I'll have it cut out
and brought to me on a platter!
1:29:24
No! Then you would admit defeat.
There's a better way.
1:29:28
- What is it?
- Even the greatest king cannot defy the gods.
1:29:34
Tell your men you've had a message
from heaven to return to Persia.
1:29:38
By this you would save your honour,
reaffirm your divine origins,
1:29:45
and rob Leonidas of victory.
1:29:47
Yes.
1:29:49
Yes.
1:29:58
It was a dark day
when the first woman came into this world.
