Molon Labe! [Come and get them!]
The reply to the Persians from the Spartan King at
the Battle of Thermopylae (480 B.C.) following a demand from the
Persians to surrender their weapons. Even though the Spartans were outnumbered
2,000,000 to 300, the Spartans held the pass at Thermopylae for seven days against the
invading Persian armies.
