Comments

W 480 r. p.n.e. Grecy pod dowództwem Leonidasa, króla Sparty, próbowali powstrzymać natarcie ogromnej armii perskiej w wąskim przesmyku Termopile. Poświęcenie Greków, po odmowie oddania broni przez Leonidasa ze słynną wyzywającą ripostą "Chodź i weź je" ("Μολών λαβέ"), jest ponadczasową inspiracją dla każdego narodu walczącego o wolność.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

In 480 BC, the Greeks, under the command of Leonidas, king of Sparta, tried to halt the advance of the vast Persian army at the narrow pass of Thermopylae. The Greeks’ self-sacrifice, following Leonidas’s refusal to surrender his arms with the famously defiant retort “Come and take them” («Μολών λαβέ»), is a timeless inspiration for every nation fighting for freedom.
