But those who survive the encounter sire many, many children. The women 
reward them for their valor.

Only the hard. Only the strong.

We march.

For our lands. For our families. For our freedom.

We march.

Into the Hot Gates we march. Into that narrow corridor we march. Where 
Xerxes numbers count for nothing.

Spartans. Citizen soldiers, freed slaves, free Greeks all.

Brothers. Fathers. Sons.

We march.

For honor's sake. For duty's sake. For glory's sake.

We march.

Into Hell's mouth we march.

Just there, the barbarians huddle - sheer terror gripping tight their
hearts 
with icey fingers, knowing full well what horrors they faced at the swords

and spears of 300.

There they stare now at the face of TEN THOUSAND Spartans leading thirty 
thousand free Greeks!
