00:00:22,731 --> 00:00:25,NARRATOR: Greece,
that hard and timeless land,

00:00:25,567 --> 00:00:28,where even the stones
speak of man's courage,

00:00:29,113 --> 00:00:32,of his endurance,
of his glory.

00:00:32,241 --> 00:00:36,And none more eloquently than this
lonely pillar in a desolate pass,

00:00:36,161 --> 00:00:39,some 200 miles north
of modern Athens.

00:00:40,249 --> 00:00:42,Across the hush
of 24 centuries,

00:00:42,793 --> 00:00:45,this is the story
of a turning point in history,

00:00:45,629 --> 00:00:50,of a blazing day when 300 Greek warriors
fought here to hold with their lives

00:00:50,843 --> 00:00:53,their freedom and ours.

00:03:48,145 --> 00:03:51,ALL: (CHANTING) Xerxes! Xerxes! Xerxes!

00:03:51,356 --> 00:03:54,Xerxes! Xerxes!

00:04:04,328 --> 00:04:06,At last we are in Europe.

00:04:06,496 --> 00:04:08,- Mardonius.
- My Lord.

00:04:08,248 --> 00:04:11,How long will it be before the whole
of our troops pass into Greece?

00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,About seven days
and seven nights, My Lord.

00:04:14,713 --> 00:04:17,Whip them on
if they are slow.

00:04:17,507 --> 00:04:20,I ** anxious to avenge
my father's defeat.

00:04:20,093 --> 00:04:24,My Lord, this army
will give you not only Greece,

00:04:24,556 --> 00:04:26,but the whole world.

00:04:26,350 --> 00:04:28,You are right.

00:04:28,352 --> 00:04:29,It was
my father's dream.

00:04:30,020 --> 00:04:33,One world. One master.

00:04:33,190 --> 00:04:36,But to Marathon 10 years ago
he sent a mere wave.

00:04:36,902 --> 00:04:39,I ** leading
an ocean!

00:05:07,057 --> 00:05:11,So this is the Spartan spy
caught trying to count my troops.

00:05:11,269 --> 00:05:15,Yes, My Lord.
All our best torture is wasted on him.

00:05:15,524 --> 00:05:19,He's worn out two of my men
without uttering a sound.

00:05:19,778 --> 00:05:22,Bring him here.

00:05:31,164 --> 00:05:32,Why do you not speak?

00:05:34,167 --> 00:05:36,I have nothing to say.

00:05:36,795 --> 00:05:38,Tell me,

00:05:38,547 --> 00:05:41,is it true that the Spartans are
the bravest warriors in all Greece?

00:05:43,385 --> 00:05:45,You will find that out
for yourself.

00:05:46,054 --> 00:05:49,Fool. You have but few men.

00:05:49,516 --> 00:05:53,Your little country is divided.
You have no single ruler.

00:05:53,645 --> 00:05:56,How can you defy me,
the master of the whole world?

00:05:57,107 --> 00:06:00,That's not for you
to understand, sir.

00:06:00,444 --> 00:06:03,For you are
the master of slavery,

00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:04,and you know nothing
of freedom.

00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,Enough!

00:06:07,367 --> 00:06:10,Let us see how insolence
meets death.

00:06:11,038 --> 00:06:13,Seize him!

00:06:19,921 --> 00:06:22,ALL: (CHANTING) Xerxes! Xerxes!

00:06:25,052 --> 00:06:26,MAN: Wait!

00:06:41,234 --> 00:06:42,Release him.

00:06:46,281 --> 00:06:48,Come here,
my friend.

00:06:52,454 --> 00:06:55,I have spared your life,
but not out of pity.

00:06:56,666 --> 00:06:59,I ** told the Greeks are holding
some sort of assembly at Corinth.

00:07:00,087 --> 00:07:04,Go there, and tell them
what you have seen here.

00:07:04,674 --> 00:07:08,A power that neither
man nor the gods can thwart.

00:07:08,595 --> 00:07:11,Go!

00:07:36,373 --> 00:07:39,- Agathon.
- Grellus.

00:07:39,668 --> 00:07:42,What evil wind has blown you
into this scorpion's nest?

00:07:42,295 --> 00:07:45,- I'm here with Demaratus.
- You are here with Xerxes.

00:07:45,382 --> 00:07:47,I ** in his camp
but not with him.

00:07:48,051 --> 00:07:52,You know, after all, Demaratus was once
our king in Sparta, before he was exiled.

00:07:52,848 --> 00:07:55,I'm not interested
in Demaratus.

00:07:55,308 --> 00:07:57,Kings have their ways,
but you...

00:07:57,769 --> 00:08:01,You are in the camp of our enemies
and therefore an enemy of Greece.

00:08:01,565 --> 00:08:03,You know my son Phylon in Sparta,
don't you?

00:08:03,108 --> 00:08:04,Yes.

00:08:04,192 --> 00:08:05,Please give him
a message from me.

00:08:06,069 --> 00:08:08,Tell him not to judge me
until he knows all the fac...

00:08:18,832 --> 00:08:22,That Greek spy this morning,
he was a brave man.

00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:25,He was a Spartan,
My Lord.

00:08:25,505 --> 00:08:28,Demaratus, you were once
king of those people.

00:08:28,842 --> 00:08:32,Tell me, do you really believe
that Sparta will fight?

00:08:32,220 --> 00:08:35,My Lord, do you wish for
a truthful answer or an agreeable one?

00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,Tell me the truth.
I shan't hold it against you.

00:08:38,101 --> 00:08:40,The Spartans will fight,
even if the rest of Greece submits.

00:08:40,812 --> 00:08:42,How can they fight,
or do anything together,

00:08:42,606 --> 00:08:44,when they even have
two kings ruling them?

00:08:44,941 --> 00:08:47,The one who stole my throne
is a mere usurper.

00:08:47,694 --> 00:08:50,But the other, Leonidas,
is a true Spartan king.

00:08:50,989 --> 00:08:53,His name means lion,
and he lives up to it.

00:08:53,992 --> 00:08:57,There is no man who can match him
in courage and skill in battle,

00:08:57,662 --> 00:08:59,nor in devotion
to his country.

00:08:59,956 --> 00:09:03,You seem to have great regard
for Spartan kings, Demaratus.

00:09:03,418 --> 00:09:05,I have, My Lord.

00:09:05,545 --> 00:09:07,I was one myself.

00:09:07,172 --> 00:09:11,Yet you do not look to me
like a formidable fighter.

00:09:11,301 --> 00:09:13,I have never yet met
the man I could not master.

00:09:14,012 --> 00:09:16,I'll give you a chance
to prove your words.

00:09:16,765 --> 00:09:20,I have in my bodyguard
a remarkable young man.

00:09:20,227 --> 00:09:23,I've seen him kill four good
swordsmen with as many thrusts

00:09:24,022 --> 00:09:27,just for displeasing me
with their bragging words.

00:09:34,407 --> 00:09:37,Now you can prove
your boast.

00:10:25,041 --> 00:10:26,Hurry. Hurry.

00:10:40,056 --> 00:10:41,(GROANS)

00:10:41,891 --> 00:10:43,(WOMAN SCREAMS)

00:11:02,954 --> 00:11:07,Once again, Demaratus,
you've succeeded in spoiling my dinner.

00:11:10,503 --> 00:11:12,(CROWD MURMURING)

00:11:15,050 --> 00:11:16,My Lord.

00:11:19,721 --> 00:11:20,Artemisia.

00:11:20,847 --> 00:11:23,May I enter
this war council?

00:11:23,183 --> 00:11:25,By all means.

00:11:29,647 --> 00:11:31,My ships have
just dropped anchor.

00:11:31,691 --> 00:11:34,Five vessels
fully fitted and manned.

00:11:35,070 --> 00:11:37,This is a pleasant
surprise, Artemisia.

00:11:37,655 --> 00:11:39,I expected your ships
but not you yourself.

00:11:40,075 --> 00:11:42,If my men fight,
I want to be with them.

00:11:42,577 --> 00:11:45,That's the least a queen can do
for her subjects.

00:11:45,163 --> 00:11:46,To watch them die for her?

00:11:46,915 --> 00:11:49,I never deny my subjects
that pleasure.

00:11:49,459 --> 00:11:53,- Come sit with me.
- Artemisia, queen of Halicarnassus.

00:11:53,630 --> 00:11:55,We visited her city
last year.

00:11:55,673 --> 00:11:59,The great king
sought her advice about the war.

00:11:59,386 --> 00:12:01,I'm glad to have you
with me, Artemisia.

00:12:01,805 --> 00:12:04,Everyone gives me
different advice.

00:12:04,682 --> 00:12:07,Artovadus
to abandon this war,

00:12:07,268 --> 00:12:10,Mardonius to conquer
the whole world,

00:12:10,814 --> 00:12:13,and Demaratus to seek peace
with the Spartans.

00:12:13,650 --> 00:12:15,Only because I know
my people well.

00:12:15,985 --> 00:12:17,I can always predict
their actions.

00:12:17,862 --> 00:12:21,Even when they choose
to discard one of their kings?

00:12:22,742 --> 00:12:24,Will you forgive me,
My Lord?

00:12:24,828 --> 00:12:26,I do not relish
the noble lady's wit.

00:12:27,914 --> 00:12:30,It has served me well,
Demaratus.

00:12:30,458 --> 00:12:36,At least I ** still with my people,
and still a queen.

00:12:38,174 --> 00:12:39,(XERXES LAUGHING)

00:12:39,426 --> 00:12:41,XERXES: Well spoken, Artemisia.

00:12:41,553 --> 00:12:44,I've tried to curb his arrogance
with the wrong weapon.

00:12:44,431 --> 00:12:47,A woman's tongue
is far deadlier than the sword.

00:12:47,183 --> 00:12:49,Why do you permit him
to remain here?

00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:51,He may serve my purpose.

00:12:51,729 --> 00:12:55,The Greeks are assembled at Corinth
to discuss my demands.

00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,Above all, I don't
want them to unite.

00:12:58,027 --> 00:13:00,But once they disagree
among themselves,

00:13:00,405 --> 00:13:03,men like Demaratus
may be of great use to me.

00:13:03,992 --> 00:13:07,To us, you mean.

00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:11,Yes. I need
your advice too.

00:13:12,083 --> 00:13:15,Come tonight,
Artemisia.

00:13:15,336 --> 00:13:17,Will you come?

00:13:17,338 --> 00:13:20,Only if you promise to limit our discussion

00:13:20,925 --> 00:13:23,to the Corinth assembly.

00:13:24,179 --> 00:13:26,As I said before,
the independence of our cities

00:13:26,890 --> 00:13:29,is...
