Moment From 300

This Is Sparta
Leonidas declines peace with the Persians by saying this line and kicking the messenger into a hole.
Based on Frank Miller's graphic novel, "300" is very loosely based the 480 B.C. Battle of Thermopylae, where the King of Sparta led his army against the advancing Persians; the battle is said to have inspired all of Greece to band together against the Persians, and helped usher in the world's first democracy.
