480 B.C. the Persian armies were marching out for their fourth campaign in Europe
The first time they were drawn back by Scythian tribes from the north
In their second attempt, Poseidon the mighty god of sea sank their entire fleet
On their third march, Persian armies were humiliated by brave Athenian forces
Now! For one more time destiny called the brave ones
to stand united like brothers
Their Gods, their Fatherland, their Ancestors
commanded them to serve their glorious land and to be united under one banner
Seven hundred fearless Thespians
Three hundred Spartan royal guards
All with souls crafted in freedom against the dark serpent from the east
Blinded by the blaze of glory, raising their swords and their fists
You could see them preparing for the battle to come..
You could feel the fire burning in Sparta's warriors.
You could sense the aura of the battle rising..
You could hear them praying to the gods
However, no one could conceive the size of the bravery to come..
Almighty ZEUS of eternal Olympus! Send your thunderbolts to your sons!
Carniun Apollon! Grant us with wrath to eradicate our enemies!
Crimson eyed God Ares! Clang your sword on your shield, and let us hear your roar!
The one of a thousand lions.
Plouton! Open the mystic gates of Hades and accept our gallant souls among,
with the pitiful barbarians we bring to feed you!
This is your home good for those who call
The Defenders of Thermopylae
