You were a giant! And today how will you fight?
:45:14
Dexippos. By Athena... how far was it you threw
your man wrestling at the last Olympic games?

:45:19
Will you match it with your spear?
:45:26
And Timander, son of Menander, a great soldier to my father,
:45:31
...I still mourn your brother Hodeus,
:45:33
Who died so bravely at Halicarnassus.
:45:36
What an honored family you descend from Timander!
:45:39
You fight for them today.
:45:44
You have all honored your country and your ancestors,
:45:50
And now we come to this most distant place in Asia,
:45:54
Where across from us
:45:57
Darius has at last gathered a vast army...
:46:27
But ask yourselves, Who is this great king,
:46:30
who pays assassins in gold coins to murder my father,
:46:35
our king, in a most despicable, and cowardly manner,
:46:41
and who is this great King Darius who
enslaves his own men to fight?

:46:47
Who is this king, but a king of air?
:46:50
These men do not fight for their homes.
:46:54
They fight because this king tells them they must.
