Peace. It doesn't mean to be in a place where there's no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
We Spartans are descended form Hercules himself. Taught never to retreat, never to surrender. Taught that death on the battlefield is the greatest glory he could achieve in his life. Spartans. The finest soldiers the world has ever known. It’s quiet now. They came with the blackness. Be afraid Sparta will burn to the ground. A thousand nations of the Persian Empire descend upon you.
- What must a king do to save his world? - Instead, ask yourself what should a free man do?
- You threaten my people with slavery and death! - This is madness! - Madness? This is Sparta!
We will stand and fight! A new Age has begun. An Age of Freedom. And all will know that 300 Spartans gave their last breath to defend it! Spartans! Tonight we dine in hell! Give them nothing! But take from them everything! We’re in for one wild night.
