****************
the battle of Thermopylae - a coast in mainland Greece - in August 480 B.C. - the most famous "last stand" in history - the battle that determined the course of western civilization and the fate of democracy.
- The Battle of Thermopylae ( Greek: Μάχη τῶν Θερμοπυλῶν, Machē tōn Thermopylōn) was fought between an alliance of Greek city-states, led by King Leonidas of Sparta, and the Persian Empire of Xerxes I over the course of three days, during the second Persian invasion of Greece. It took place simultaneously with the naval battle at Artemisium, in August or September 480 BC, at the pass of Thermopylae ('The Hot Gates'). The Persian invasion was a delayed response to the defeat of the first Persian invasion of Greece, which had been ended by the Athenian victory at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC. Xerxes had amassed a huge army and navy, and set out to conquer all of Greece. The Athenian general Themistocles had proposed that the allied Greeks block the advance of the Persian army at the pass of Thermopylae, and simultaneously block the Persian navy at the Straits of Artemisium.

Go, tell the Spartans, stranger passing by
That here, obedient to their laws, we lie.

Of Those Who Died at Thermopylae…. Simonides of Ceos on Leonidas king of Sparta
Of those who died
at Thermopylae,
glorious is the fortune,
fair is the fate.
Their grave is an altar.
Instead of lamentation,
they have remembrance,
for pity they have praise.
Such a shroud
neither mold
nor all-subduing time
can make obscure.
This shrine of noble men
chose the good reputation
of Greece
as its inhabitant.
Leonidas also bears witness,
king of Sparta,
who left behind a great adornment
of valor and ever-flowing fame.
==========
C. P. Cavafy
Let honour be to those in whose life
it was set to guard Thermopylae.
Never moving away from duty;
Just and equals in all of their acts
But with sadness and compassion
Brave once they are rich and when
They are poor, again brave
Coming to aid as much as they can;
Always speaking the truth
But without hate for those who lie.
And even more honour they deserve
When its predicted (and many predict)
That Ephialtes will appear in the end
And the Medes will finally pass through
===
Nikos Kazantzakis
Stern was the law we made that it should test
Our thinking; nor with hope do we bestride
The pass of Life. And each and all we ride
On horseback towards our dream, at the behest
Of mind the lawgiver. No rampart's breast
Do we require; we know we shall confide
To Death our bodies; the barbarian tide
We cannot break apart, whose foaming crest
Assails our Country. Yet our mind, its wing
Freely outstretched, does victory here below
Renounce. The two-head eagle, broidering The stuff of dreams, adorns his glorious piece;
And 'midst the dread barbarian darkness, lo!
White flower, there blossoms the defeated Greece.

Arryan Path are a metal band from Cyprus that have so far realeased 3 albums and have recently changed their name to Arrayan Path. The song "Molon Lave" is taken from their 2nd killer album "Terra Incognita". If you're looking for high quality epic power metal then check out any of their albums! The scenes I've used have been taken by a great film, 300, closely related to the theme of the song. I hope you enjoy it!
Lyrics:
Why warriors die?
Is it their fate?
Tonight I feel their eyes upon me
As my soul descends to Hades
A glorious task
Left to defend
These are the men who tasted fire
Endless pain
Molon lave
Down on their knees, our hearts won't let you pass
You shall not pass!
300 lions, 300 men
300 soldiers with ideals to defend
Remember us, the fallen ones
The only reason you have pride now
Is because we are now dust
Molon Lave
Down on their knees, our hearts won't let you pass
You shall not pass!
We'll never be the same,
We have no-one to blame
We'll never be the same,
We have no-one to blame

Ode to Leonidas
„I, Leonidas, Son of the lion Keeper of the gates of fire To all the noble souls of this land If you spill your blood with me I shall tend to your wounds If you thirst from battle Then I shall give you my cup If you follow me I shall lead you to Sparta Under the stars of the gods themselves Together we shall rid this world of the Persian beast And to you, thy enemy of this land I say: molon labe, molon labe… Come and take it" I'll dominate you, and sacrifice too My army will destroy your plans No competition, or indecision You're coming to your end – And my war's begun Those mortals can't defend you A suicide rendezvous I'll have you running like a child – away It's not so complicated 300 terminated No choice to choose, you're on my own. Who's gonna save you? They know the consequences Endure the pain The blood they try to save Will be only split in vain No sleep – for Leonidas Got to rise against Immortals and the Kingdom of the East No sleep – for Leonidas From a deadlock to distraction Will there be satisfaction when they're gone? Under the pass awaits you Our flanks of pride and virtue Your missile shadows will not bound this cause Like us there are no others A troop of warrior brothers Even in battle we defend our dead They know the consequences Endure the pain The blood they try to save Will be only split in vain No sleep – for Leonidas Got to rise against Immortals and the Kingdom of the East No sleep – for Leonidas From a deadlock to distraction Will there be satisfaction when they're gone?

Molon Labe
Onward we march
Our throats cracked and dry
If we fall upon their blades
With honor we shall die
Suffer unto me
Xerxes the God-king
Threatening all we love
Sparta is our home
Come and take it!
Bring it on!
In defiance of your tyranny
Sparta will stand strong
To the mouth of hell
The phalanx will deny
Tell your king these men are free
With honor we shall die
With eyes black as night
The Immortals arrive
Behind the wall of Persian dead
The Spartans did deny
[Chorus]
I see the signs
A tyrant on the rise
Will you stand free?
Will you defy?
I see the signs
A tyrant on the rise
Will you fall to your knees?
Will you stand and fight?
[Battle / guitar solo]
Come and take it!
Bring it on!
In defiance of your tyranny
Sparta will stand strong
Wave after wave
Bloodlust in our eyes
We?ve been betrayed
We?ve been outflanked
We dine in hell tonight
No surrender, no retreat
This is the Spartan way
I?d rather die on my feet
Than grovel on my knees
[Chorus]
I see the signs
A tyrant on the rise
Will you stand free?
Will you defy?
I see the signs
A tyrant on the rise
Will you fall to your knees?
Will you stand and fight?
Come and take it!
Bring it on!
In defiance of your tyranny
Sparta will stand strong

Cavafy Poems: 7. Last Stand (Thermopylae)
cavafyinenglish
Published on Dec 3, 2008
7. LAST STAND (THERMOPYLAE)
If life should be a battlefield, as it can be,
we should becomingly praise and celebrate
those who defend, against an overwhelming host,
the final fort on the frontier, knowing it will fall.
They see and do their duty and are faithful,
are sympathetic and compassionate;
generous when wealthy; and when poor
ready to share with others what they have;
straight-dealing, truthful,
not hating those who lie and cheat
(they know that hate's a self-consuming sickness).
And even more should we admire them
when we see what they foresee:
that the traitor who shares the little they possess
will sell them to the enemy;
and the enemy will conquer in the end.

Alexandros Hatzis sings the poem of Constantine Cavafy "Thermopylae".
Music: Yiannis Petritsis
Ο Αλέξανδρος Χατζής τραγουδά το ποίημα του Κωνσταντίνου Καβάφη "Θερμοπύλες".
Μουσική: Γιάννης Πετρίτσης
Thermopylae
Honour to those who in the life they lead, define and guard a Thermopylae.
Never stirring from duty,
consistent and just in all they do,
but showing pity also, and compassion;
generous when they're rich, and when they're poor,
still generous in small ways,
still helping as much as they can;
always speaking the truth,
yet without hating those who lie.
And even more honour is due to them
when they foresee (as many do foresee)
that Ephialtes will turn up in the end,
that the Medes will break through after all.
Constantine P. Cavafy (1903)
Θερμοπύλες
Τιμή σ' εκείνους όπου στην ζωή των
όρισαν και φυλάγουν Θερμοπύλες.
Ποτέ από το χρέος μη κινούντες•
δίκαιοι κ' ίσιοι σ' όλες των τες πράξεις,
αλλά με λύπη κιόλας κ' ευσπλαχνία•
γενναίοι οσάκις είναι πλούσιοι, κι όταν
είναι πτωχοί, πάλ' εις μικρόν γενναίοι,
πάλι συντρέχοντες όσο μπορούνε•
πάντοτε την αλήθεια ομιλούντες,
πλην χωρίς μίσος για τους ψευδομένους.
Και περισσότερη τιμή τους πρέπει
όταν προβλέπουν (και πολλοί προβλέπουν)
πως ο Εφιάλτης θα φανεί στο τέλος,
κ' οι Μήδοι επι τέλους θα διαβούνε.
Κωνσταντίνος Π. Καβάφης (1903)
Notes:
In 480 BC, Xerxes led the Persians (Medes) and invaded Greece. The Spartan king Leonidas, in charge of 7000 Greeks, was ordered to cut the advance of the Persian army at Thermopylae (in central Greece), a narrow strip of land between the sea and impassable mountains. The Persian army, 250,000 strong, attacked twice and was forced to retreat, due to the fact that the passage was so narrow that they could not fully deploy their force. However, an avaricious local farmer, Ephialtes, led a force of Persian infantry through a mountain passage and next morning they appeared behind the Greek lines. Leonidas ordered the rest of the army withdraw, and held the passage with 300 Spartans. As a true Spartan, he chose death over retreat; all 300 Spartans, including Leonidas, died, but held the Persians long enough to ensure the safe withdrawal of the rest of the Greek army.

The Battle of Thermopylae (The Histories of Herodotus Excerpt)
Ancient Recitations
Published on Dec 5, 2015
The Battle of Thermopylae was the initial engagement between the Persian Empire and the confederation of Greek city-states led by Sparta during the Second Persian Invasion of Greece in 480 BC.
The vast Persian army first encounters significant Greek resistance at the narrow pass of Thermopylae (the Hot Gates), where he found an advance force of approximately 4,000 troops from various Greek city-states.
Unable to break through the Greek line, Persian King-of-Kings Xerxes was confounded until a local man named Ephialtes betrayed the Greek confederacy by informing him of a hidden trail over the mountains.
Xerxes sent a force around to the back of the Greek army holding the narrow pass of Thermopylae, outflanking and eventually overwhelming them.
Although this battle was not especially significant other than a delaying action against the Persian invasion, the story of the events is so compelling, combined with the sheer heroism displayed by the hugely-outnumbered Greek troops, that it has become the most famous last stand in history.
