will take your breakfast elsewhere." But in that little
band there was not one man that feared to die; for a
soldier's death was counted an honorable, and not a
terrible thing, among the Greeks. When night came,
out marched the Greeks against the army of Xerxes.
Wherever they went, they carried death and terror with
them; they overturned the tent of Xerxes and slew his
guards. The proud king was forced to flee for his life;
and, if the night could have lasted for a night and a day,
perhaps they might have destroyed the whole of that
vast host. But, when day began to dawn, the enemy
discovered the small number of the Greeks, and took
courage. The Greeks were weary with slaying their
thousands, the Persians were fresh; the Greeks were
three hundred men, the Persians were more than three
hundred thousand. So the Persians gathered round the
Greeks, attacking them with slings and darts and spears,
because they did not dare to attack them in close fight.
When the Greeks charged, the Persians fledfiom them;
when the Greeks retired, the Persians approached them.
First one and then another of the Greeks fell beneath the
shower of darts, others were wounded and could scarcely
stand; but none would surrender. Before sunset, every
Greek was slain, and the Persian army had gained
the victory. But, from that day to the present (day),
all men have honored the names of Leonidas and his
brave Greeks, who hare left for us and for all men an
example teaching us not to be afraid of dying honorably.
