Xerxes, Persian King: It was my father's dream. One world, one master. But to Marathon ten years ago he sent a mere wave. I am leading an ocean.
The 300 Spartans (1962)
Directed by: Rudolph Mate
Starring: Ralph Richardson, Diane Baker, Richard Egan, Barry Coe
Demaratus, Exiled Spartan King: The Spartans will certainly fight, whether reinforcements arrive or not.
Xerxes, Persian King: Why, they are mad. I cannot think why you would want to be king of such an extraordinary people, Demaratus. I shall capture them alive and put them in cages and exhibit them all over Persia.
Samos: Who can understand the way of the gods? They create lovely girls and then turn them into wives.
