Leontes Hestamen (We Are Lions – Archaic Gr)
…if Mr. Gerard Butler could hear this, he would smile : )
480 BCE at Thermopylae, a battle between the Achaemenid Persian Empire under Xerxes I, and an alliance of Greek city-states led by Sparta under Leonidas I, he is about to attack with 300 lions, so he calls “Spartan sons! This phalanx… is my home! Today… we fight in the shadow! A-OO! A-OO! A-OO! COME AND GET THEM! When death… when glory! Sparta wins! We are lions!
***
Paides Spartan!
Tode phalanx… emon oikos!
Simeron… en tē skia machoumetha!
A-OO! A-OO! A-OO!
MOLON LABE!
Pote thanatos… pote doxa!
Sparta nika!
Leontes hestamen!
ELEUTHERIA!
