Take your ships out of the straits at once.
This is our last morning at Thermopylae.

1:39:07
I must move the fleet.
But the ships can still take you out of this.

1:39:12
No. We shall stay here.
1:39:15
What about your wounded?
1:39:19
Spartan wounded go home only with victory.
1:39:23
In defeat they die with the rest.
1:39:28
I would share this day with you, Leonidas.
1:39:31
But I must be with the fleet
when it fights again at Salamis.

1:39:38
I know you don't put much trust
in omens, Themistocles.

1:39:42
But last night,
Megistias received a most wondrous vision.

1:39:47
Megistias, tell him your vision.
1:39:51
I saw ships burning between two shores.
Many of them.

1:39:55
With Persian markings on their sails.
1:39:58
There was Xerxes sitting upon a throne,
his face in gloom,

1:40:01
listening to the cries of burning men.
1:40:05
And behind him,
the goddess Athena, all in white,

1:40:08
a golden spear in her hand.
1:40:11
She was smiling.
1:40:15
Tell him all.
1:40:19
And a voice was saying:
1:40:21
"Divine Salamis, you will bring death
to the enemies of Greece

1:40:26
when the seeds are sown
or the harvests are gathered in. "

1:40:31
Thank you, old man.
1:40:33
They're advancing, sir.
King Xerxes is leading them in his chariot.

1:40:37
I'll be right there.
1:40:49
We shall be watching you fight at Salamis,
Megistias and I.

1:40:55
We shall not fail you...
1:40:57
friend.
