[After Xerxes offered to make Leonidas Warlord of his Empire, if he would only kneel before him] You are generous, as you are divine, oh king of kings. Such an offer, only a madman would refuse. But the idea of kneeling, it's, uh, you see, slaughtering all those men of yours has left a nasty cramp in my leg so kneeling will be hard for me.
Spartan King Leonidas


There's no reason we can't be civil, is there?[Stated while chewing on an apple as his soldiers spear wounded enemies.]

Spartan King Leonidas


Today, no Spartan dies!
Spartan King Leonidas


At age 7, as is customary in Sparta the boy was taken from his mother and plunged into a world of violence. Manufactured by 300 years of Spartan warrior society to create the finest soldiers the world has ever known. The agoge as it's called, forces the boy to fight, starves him, forces him to steal... and if necessary, to kill.
Dilios


(as Leonidas bids farewell to his wife) "Goodbye my love." He doesn't say it. There's no room for softness, not in Sparta. No place for weakness. Only the hard and strong may call themselves Spartans. Only the hard. Only the strong.
Dilios


(regarding the Arcadians) They shout and curse, stabbing wildly, more brawlers than warriors. They make a wondrous mess of things. Brave amateurs....they do their part.
Dilios


Now, as then, a beast approaches, patient and confident, savoring the meal to come.
Dilios


It is not fear that grips him. Only a heightened sense of things.
Dilios


The old ones say we Spartans have descended from Hercules himself.
Dilios


Taught never to retreat, never to surrender. Taught that death in the battlefield in service of Sparta is the greatest glory he could achieve in his life.
Dilios


And so the boy, given up for dead, returns to his people, to sacred Sparta a king, our king, Leonidas!
Dilios


(as the Persian ships are struck by a thunderstorm) Zeus stabs the sky with thunderbolts, and batters the Persian ships with hurricane wind! Glorious. Only one among us keeps his Spartan reserve. Only he....only our King.
Dilios
