00:01:30I proclaim you, Philippines of Athens, the champion of these Olympic Games.
00:01:58May you thank the gods for having given you the laurel wreath of victory.
00:02:08For years hence, we shall gather at the eternal flame for the next Olympic Games.
00:02:13To thee, divine Athena, to thee I consecrate the laurels of Olympia, as thou hast protected me, goddess. Protect Athens, which bears thy name.
00:02:33Today is a day for celebration.
00:02:41Philippides has brought Athens the laurels of the Olympic Games.
00:02:45Now he returns to his post in the ranks of Athens' sacred god.
00:02:49We must never forget that the people of Athens decreed only a short year ago the exile of the tyrant Hippias and her forever banished dictatorship.
00:02:59To you, valorous Philippides, and to your companions of the sacred god, the Athenians appoint you the custodians of their liberty.
00:03:13I'm not afraid of death, Miltiades, and hope we shall never have to fight for liberty.
00:03:18But we live in a democracy, and if there's war, then every citizen, every citizen will be a soldier.
00:03:27Miltiades, to you, sir, commander of the military forces of our city, and to you, Crusus, our beloved leading citizen and head of the council of Athens,
00:03:39I ask in the name of all my companions that Philippides be made commander of the sacred god.
00:03:46Bravo, Philippides.
00:03:49You're a popular man today.
00:03:52I, too, make you the custodian of my liberty.
00:03:56Theocritus, I'm just a peasant.
00:03:59The gods gave me strength, but they gave you something even more precious, intelligence.
00:04:06Be sure you make use of it.
00:04:08The sun sinks in splendor, red as blood, bringing the fearsome blackness of the night,
00:04:14while the desperate Trojans pray to all the gods above, hoping to live till the dawn.
00:04:22Go on, Andromeda, read us the passage about the great war.
00:04:26No, read us a story about Paris and Helen.
00:04:29Read, Andromeda, whatever you like.
00:04:31Then I shall read you of Paris and Helen.
00:04:33Oh, wonderful. I always cry when I hear it.
00:04:38Here's my father. I shall read it later.
00:04:45Crusus, your daughter doesn't seem to love her future husband.
00:04:48Every time she sees me, she frowns.
00:04:50No, no, you're wrong, Philippides.
00:04:53She loves me.
00:04:54Crusus, your daughter doesn't seem to love her future husband.
00:04:57Every time she sees me, she frowns.
00:04:59No, no, you're wrong, Theocritus.
00:05:02He is wrong, isn't he, Andromeda?
00:05:04You said it for me.
00:05:07You already know the use of double meanings, Andromeda.
00:05:10Perhaps your father should not have promised you to me when we were children.
00:05:15You might want to marry someone else.
00:05:17You young people have strange ideas.
00:05:19In my day, we wouldn't have dared to argue about whom our parents had chosen for us to marry.
00:05:24But with that, I leave you.
00:05:26Andromeda, think over what your father said.
00:05:34Philippides will be a dangerous opponent for us.
00:05:37He's a friend of Miltiades and he's bullheaded like all our peasants.
00:05:40No, Philippides is not a mere peasant.
00:05:42He is a man who loves the soil only because he doesn't know anything better.
00:05:48We will show him how good life can be.
00:05:50And he'll be one of us.
00:05:51What do you mean?
00:05:53If we control the Sacred Guard, we could easily control the whole city of Athens.
00:05:57That is what Hippias in exile suggests that we do.
00:06:00Philippides has to join us.
00:06:02Otherwise, he'll be done away with.
00:06:04Theocritus.
00:06:07You know I share your ideals and those of Hippias.
00:06:11I promised you my daughter.
00:06:13But I refuse to be involved in bloodshed. I refuse.
00:06:16Oh, Crusus.
00:06:18I don't want Philippides removed.
00:06:19I want him with us.
00:06:21To our ideals.
00:06:32Oh.
00:06:34You frightened me.
00:06:36Is hitting me part of the game?
00:06:38No.
00:06:40And losing a ball in a tree isn't part of the game either.
00:06:44It's there.
00:06:46I was trying to knock the ball out of the tree.
00:06:48It is not too easy to do.
00:06:53Want to try?
00:07:05That wasn't so hard.
00:07:11How do you play this game?
00:07:17You throw the ball as far as possible.
00:07:20Like this.
00:07:25Was that all right?
00:07:27No, that was too far.
00:07:32You're as beautiful as a statue of a goddess.
00:07:41Why don't you like me?
00:07:43I know you. You're Philippides.
00:07:45Philippides, the hero of Olympia.
00:07:47And you?
00:07:49My name is... I won't tell you.
00:07:52We shall never meet again.
00:07:54We will meet again.
00:07:56Do you know the temple on the road to Piraeus?
00:07:58I know it very well.
00:08:00What are you talking about?
00:08:02He wants to see you again.
00:08:04He is just being kind.
00:08:06You're wrong. I really want to.
00:08:11Come on.
00:08:13Don't forget.
00:08:14She will dance with us in honor of Venus at the temple tonight.
00:08:18Remember.
00:08:45Are you Philippides?
00:08:47Yes, I am.
00:08:49You are a fortunate man, Philippides.
00:08:51I have an invitation for you from my mistress.
00:08:54A girl who will dance tonight?
00:08:56That's right, Philippides.
00:08:58A girl who will dance tonight.
00:09:00How did you know?
00:09:02What's her name?
00:09:04What difference does that make?
00:09:06She will be no more beautiful if you know her name.
00:09:08It doesn't matter.
00:09:10I don't care.
00:09:11Where do I go?
00:09:13Follow me.
00:09:17Yes, Philippides.
00:09:19The hero of Olympia.
00:09:21And you, Kairos, will tame him.
00:09:23I hope he is at least a handsome man.
00:09:26Would I ask you to make love to him if he were not?
00:09:29It would hardly be the first time you've lied to me, Theocritus.
00:09:32Be careful of what you say.
00:09:34And think about what you have to do.
00:09:35Let me tell you this.
00:09:37Win him to my cause and you can name your price.
00:09:41Oh, that's much better.
00:09:43I adore to hear you when you talk that way.
00:09:47Here he is.
00:09:49Don't you want to see him?
00:09:57Well, what do you think of him?
00:10:00Hm?
00:10:01Good night, Kairos.
00:10:03I will leave you to your work.
00:10:08You may go in.
00:10:10You're expected.
00:10:16Welcome to my house.
00:10:20What's the matter?
00:10:22Are you not pleased by what you see, Philippides?
00:10:25I was expecting to see someone else.
00:10:28Ah?
00:10:29Prettier than me?
00:10:31Oh, different.
00:10:33Who are you?
00:10:35Kairos.
00:10:37I was at Olympia the day you won.
00:10:39You know, I think I've heard your name before.
00:10:42I've prepared a feast in your honor.
00:10:45For me?
00:10:47You'll see.
00:10:49The most wonderful dancer in Athens.
00:10:51The finest wine, wrestlers and music.
00:10:53And it's all for you.
00:10:55I thank you, Kairos.
00:10:57But not tonight.
00:10:59You'll see about that.
00:11:30You may drink with me.
00:11:32It's not a love potion.
00:11:59I'm sorry, Kairos.
00:12:01I'm sorry, Kairos.
00:12:02Do you really think so?
00:12:30I'm sure of it.
00:12:32Go to the Acropolis.
00:12:33You shall see.
00:12:34He'll be here.
00:12:35Andromeda, Diana, come.
00:12:36It's time.
00:12:43Oh, divine Venus, in your goodness,
00:12:45grant that we find our beloved.
00:13:02Oh, God.
00:13:33They're no better than animals.
00:13:35Well, I thought they were the finest.
00:13:37Know what I'd pay them?
00:13:51Well, I like this better.
00:13:53Don't you like wrestling, Kairos?
00:13:55No, I don't.
00:13:57I don't like wrestling.
00:13:59I like dancing.
00:14:00I like this better.
00:14:02Don't you like wrestling at all?
00:14:04I do.
00:14:05But these men are not wrestlers.
00:14:07They're killers.
00:14:09Rudes are what they are.
00:14:20I thank you very much.
00:14:22But I must leave.
00:14:24You are rude.
00:14:25You have to leave.
00:14:27I'm very sorry.
00:14:28But I must.
00:14:30As you wish.
00:14:32Let me pass.
00:14:38Stop it at once.
00:15:00Oh, God.
00:15:30Oh, God.
00:16:00Oh, God.
00:16:20Do you expect me to believe that fantastic story?
00:16:23When do you meet him again?
00:16:25I doubt if I ever will.
00:16:27Why do you insist on it?
00:16:28I have already explained it to you as eloquently as I could.
00:16:32I'm not used to being rejected, Theocritus.
00:16:34I don't like it.
00:16:36And I don't want anyone to know about it.
00:16:37Kairos, I don't give up so easily.
00:16:41I thought you understood, Kairos, what your position was.
00:16:45I decide what you do and when you do it.
00:16:47Is that clear?
00:16:48This house is mine.
00:16:49Everything you have is mine.
00:16:51This time you are mistaken.
00:16:53And you too, Kairos, are mine.
00:16:55You wish I would leave here.
00:16:56Don't ask me to do this.
00:16:58I have no desire to hurt Filippides.
00:17:00I pay well to be served.
00:17:02What is this with Filippides?
00:17:04Are you in love?
00:17:06He is the one who is in love.
00:17:08But with another.
00:17:10Ah, so that's it.
00:17:12Filippides loves someone else.
00:17:15And you love him.
00:17:17I will not see him anymore.
00:17:20That was to remind you that you will see Filippides whether you want to or not.
00:17:24Obey me, Kairos.
00:17:27You will obey all my orders, whatever I tell you to do.
00:17:30You have no choice.
00:17:32Understand?
00:17:34Otherwise I will kill you.
00:17:56A man like you might need them one day.
00:17:58You may be right.
00:18:00But it would be better if weapons didn't exist.
00:18:06What if you were attacked by a swordsman?
00:18:08You would be at a disadvantage.
00:18:10You have to know how to use a sword.
00:18:12Here.
00:18:13Catch it.
00:18:15All right.
00:18:17Parry.
00:18:19Again.
00:18:21I'm sorry.
00:18:23I'm sorry.
00:18:25Again.
00:18:27Faster.
00:18:29Watch your shoulders.
00:18:31Militaries, you're fast as the wind.
00:18:34Again.
00:18:36You try.
00:18:38Now.
00:18:42Beautiful.
00:18:44Perfect.
00:18:46Another thing.
00:18:48A sword is not used only for hand-to-hand fighting.
00:18:55This way?
00:18:57No, that's it.
00:18:59Aim.
00:19:12That was dead center.
00:19:15What is it? What happened to him?
00:19:17A girl.
00:19:19He saw her chariot and rode off after her.
00:19:54Why did you run away from me?
00:19:56I have nothing to say to you.
00:20:25I just want to tell you that I've been thinking about you.
00:20:28You only saw me once.
00:20:30You don't even know my name.
00:20:34Does it matter?
00:20:36I think that I love you.
00:20:42Don't you believe me?
00:20:44It's no use.
00:20:46My future has been decided.
00:20:48You must never see me again.
00:20:50Listen.
00:20:52I won't give you up.
00:20:54One thing.
00:20:56Say that you could love me.
00:21:01No.
00:21:03You mustn't even hope it would be useless.
00:21:05Please forget me.
00:21:25Your name.
00:21:27Can't you tell me?
00:21:54Do I surprise you?
00:21:56I know you would never have come to see me.
00:21:58How did you get in?
00:22:00I don't have much trouble making men do
00:22:02what I want them to do.
00:22:04But not Filippides.
00:22:06You're wrong.
00:22:08I'm glad you came.
00:22:10I'm glad you came.
00:22:12I'm glad you came.
00:22:14I'm glad you came.
00:22:16I'm glad you came.
00:22:18I'm glad you came.
00:22:20I'm glad you came.
00:22:22I'm glad you came.
00:22:24I don't believe you.
00:22:31No.
00:22:33Not like that.
00:22:35You must never kiss me like that, Filippides.
00:22:37Kiss me when your anger has left you.
00:22:39There's no anger in me.
00:22:41And no love.
00:22:43Don't worry. I know you don't love me.
00:22:45It's too much to ask for.
00:22:47I'm aware of that.
00:22:49But I want to make you happy.
00:22:51I wish it were as easy as you seem to think.
00:22:52Before I met you, I had no need of love.
00:22:54But now I do.
00:22:56I love you.
00:22:58I need you so much.
00:23:00All you need is to get what you want.
00:23:03You're cruel.
00:23:05Filippides, time to relieve the guard.
00:23:07I have to go.
00:23:09Goodbye, Caris.
00:23:23That's enough.
00:23:27I invited him here so we could convince him.
00:23:29Convince Filippides.
00:23:31Might as well try to convince Miltiades.
00:23:33How do you suggest we go about it?
00:23:35You said you were the expert.
00:23:37Every man has his price.
00:23:39Some way or other.
00:23:41I have my price.
00:23:43I have my price.
00:23:45I have my price.
00:23:47I have my price.
00:23:49I have my price.
00:23:50I have my price.
00:23:52I hate these intrigues.
00:23:54Hippias is returning from exile.
00:23:56Soon we'll be able to act.
00:23:58The people are with us.
00:24:00But the sacred guard could ruin everything
00:24:02if it were against us, Crusus.
00:24:04Well then?
00:24:06You have an idea?
00:24:08Of course.
00:24:10And it's a beautiful one.
00:24:12What is it, Theocrates?
00:24:14I'll tell you later.
00:24:16Don't worry.
00:24:18You sent for me, Father?
00:24:20I'm having an important guest, my dear.
00:24:22I want you to dine with us today.
00:24:24A very important guest, Andromeda.
00:24:28Very.
00:24:30A friend of yours?
00:24:32Not yet.
00:24:34But he soon may be one.
00:24:36What is his name?
00:24:38He'll tell you himself.
00:24:40There he is.
00:24:42Filippides is here.
00:24:51Welcome to my home, Filippides.
00:24:53Your presence here is an honor.
00:24:55So is your invitation.
00:24:58This is my daughter,
00:25:00who is to become my wife.
00:25:07It seems you already know each other.
00:25:10Yes.
00:25:12We may have met,
00:25:14but without really knowing each other,
00:25:16as it happens in a dream sometimes.
00:25:18If I had ever met you,
00:25:20even in a dream,
00:25:22I would remember.
00:25:24The table is set. Be seated.
00:25:26Music!
00:25:28Music is excellent for the digestion.
00:25:30If you please.
00:25:36Find thee the pleasures of wine,
00:25:39and drown the sorrows of life.
00:25:42Find thee the pleasure of company,
00:25:45and know the beauty of life.
00:25:47What is it, Filippides?
00:25:49I'm afraid you're not having a very good time.
00:25:52On the contrary.
00:25:54I'm having a wonderful time.
00:25:58Counsel and session?
00:26:00At this hour?
00:26:02Surprising.
00:26:04They must have an important reason.
00:26:06I'm very sorry, but I must go.
00:26:08Filippides, my house is yours.
00:26:10Andromeda and Theocritus will keep you company.
00:26:12Do you know what is going on?
00:26:14I know whatever it is.
00:26:16Not everyone knows.
00:26:18Our fleet is decimated,
00:26:20and the Persians threaten to land on our shores,
00:26:22guided by the traitor Hippias.
00:26:24Not everyone thinks Hippias is a traitor.
00:26:27I'm very tired.
00:26:29Excuse me.
00:26:35Poor Andromeda.
00:26:37She's so sad.
00:26:39And I think you know why, Filippides.
00:26:41What do you mean?
00:26:43You might as well admit that you know her.
00:26:44I suspected that you knew each other.
00:26:46And when I saw her embarrassment on seeing you,
00:26:48I was certain of it.
00:26:50She never broke the promise she made.
00:26:53The promise her father gave to my father, you mean.
00:26:56Our marriage was decided on while we were still children.
00:26:59She doesn't love me.
00:27:02If you want to marry her,
00:27:04I might be able to help you.
00:27:06And what do you want in exchange?
00:27:08I?
00:27:10Nothing.
00:27:11You and your sacred guard could be valuable to him.
00:27:14You see, they left the two of us alone,
00:27:16so we might talk plainly.
00:27:18You can have Andromeda,
00:27:20only if you aid us in our cause.
00:27:22Does Andromeda accept this?
00:27:25I said, does she accept this?
00:27:27And you, do you accept?
00:27:29Filippides, I asked you a question.
00:27:31I am asking the questions.
00:27:33Answer me. Does Andromeda agree to this?
00:27:35Why, of course she does.
00:27:37Otherwise, we would hardly have asked you here.
00:27:39She would do it for her father.
00:27:41And if necessary, she would do anything for our cause.
00:27:50Filippides.
00:27:53What do you want?
00:27:56I waited for you.
00:27:59I want to tell you how I really feel.
00:28:04I love you.
00:28:06So now you love me.
00:28:08Now I know that you're one of them.
00:28:09I'll have no part of this scheme.
00:28:11Goodbye.
00:28:13Filippides.
00:28:17Filippides.
00:28:21What did you tell him about me?
00:28:23Why does he hate me?
00:28:25He will be sorry.
00:28:40Since he came back from the city, he's not the same.
00:28:43He doesn't talk to anyone.
00:29:10Miltiades.
00:29:14Hail, Filippides.
00:29:17Welcome, Miltiades.
00:29:19I came for some of that fresh air you always talked about.
00:29:22Ah, the wind is from the east.
00:29:25Dries up the land.
00:29:27What are you talking about?
00:29:29The east wind brings rain.
00:29:31Pallides, bring us wine.
00:29:34What's new in Athens?
00:29:36Let me see.
00:29:37Oh, they finished the new baths.
00:29:39It's very expensive, but to go there is a sign of distinction.
00:29:42It's not for us.
00:29:43Well, I've never been there myself.
00:29:45But I hear Theocrates goes there all the time to show how rich he is to everyone.
00:29:49Do you know who misses you in Athens, Filippides?
00:29:53That very beautiful girl from Mycena.
00:29:57Charis.
00:29:59And you never said a word about her.
00:30:02I don't know her.
00:30:04She might have seen you at Olympia.
00:30:07She wasn't the only girl who fell in love with you then.
00:30:10They all went out of their minds when they saw you.
00:30:12Especially when you wrestled the Spartan.
00:30:14I think he's a very good man.
00:30:16Eurus is his name.
00:30:18He might have won.
00:30:20But I had all the luck that day.
00:30:22Your friends in the sacred guard don't call it luck, Filippides.
00:30:26After you left Athens, the heart went out of them.
00:30:29They need your leadership.
00:30:30They don't need me that much.
00:30:32No.
00:30:34They all need you now more than we ever did.
00:30:36But we can understand why you wanted to leave Athens.
00:30:39To avoid worries, responsibilities.
00:30:42Here you have calm and you can live pleasantly.
00:30:46You're wrong.
00:30:48There are responsibilities.
00:30:50Here.
00:30:52Everywhere.
00:30:54But I'm not going back to Athens.
00:30:55Miltiades.
00:30:57I bring bad news.
00:30:59Persian forces have begun to land at the plain of Marathon.
00:31:02You must return to Athens.
00:32:56All goes well.
00:32:59What do you think of my army, Hippias?
00:33:01You will see, Darius.
00:33:03Your Persians won't even have to fight.
00:33:05The Athenians and all of Greece wait for the great Darius
00:33:08to liberate them from the tyranny of their rulers.
00:33:11You will march into Athens in triumph.
00:33:14Yes, you may be right, Hippias.
00:33:16And yet you may be wrong.
00:33:18I put my faith in my soldiers.
00:33:26This is not the first time that our country has been invaded.
00:33:30This is not the first time that our country,
00:33:33our cities and our people have been threatened with destruction.
00:33:36True.
00:33:38But never before has the danger been so great.
00:33:40The Persians are but a few hours' march away.
00:33:42What do you mean by that?
00:33:44That we should surrender?
00:33:46That we should welcome the Persians as friends?
00:33:48No!
00:33:50No!
00:33:52Don't you see that I'm not afraid of you?
00:33:54Don't you see that Athens alone isn't strong enough
00:33:57to defeat Darius and his army?
00:33:59We're too few in number.
00:34:01At most we might arm 10,000 infantrymen and 5,000 cavalry.
00:34:05It's six against one.
00:34:07And we have no ships of war.
00:34:09We will arm everyone.
00:34:11Everyone!
00:34:13And fight for an ideal common to every Athenian citizen.
00:34:15If we may not live in freedom,
00:34:17then we will die for freedom.
00:34:19Miltiades!
00:34:21Hail, Miltiades!
00:34:23Defend us from the Persians!
00:34:25Save us, Miltiades!
00:34:27Throw the Persians back into the sea!
00:34:30May God be with you, Miltiades!
00:34:39Come, we are waiting, Miltiades.
00:34:41All of Athens waits to hear from you.
00:34:43I am sure you have an ingenious plan to lead us to victory.
00:34:47I do not possess the divine power
00:34:50to transform a disaster into a triumph.
00:34:53Theocritus asks me for a miracle,
00:34:56but he knows full well it cannot be.
00:34:59I can only say this.
00:35:01My men will fight for Athens up to the end.
00:35:04We shall force the invader back into the sea
00:35:07or he will enslave our people.
00:35:09Every one of us,
00:35:11every man who hates tyranny,
00:35:13is due to die.
00:35:14Every man who hates tyranny,
00:35:16his duty is to help fight the enemy.
00:35:18Well then,
00:35:20why have you held back all the men of the sacred guard?
00:35:22These champions of the sacred guard,
00:35:24why do they stay in Athens?
00:35:26Only a hundred men.
00:35:28Not enough to make a decisive difference in a war, Theocritus.
00:35:31They have been ordered to defend the temple of Pallas Athena.
00:35:35I do not believe in miracles,
00:35:37but I put faith in the will of the gods
00:35:39and in the justice of our cause.
00:35:41What good is justice?
00:35:42What good is justice on the battlefield?
00:35:45There is no justice in war.
00:35:47Only strength and the number of armed men is what counts.
00:35:51Sword against sword.
00:35:53How can we match the Persian power?
00:35:55You forget one thing, Theocritus.
00:35:57When a man fights on the side of justice,
00:35:59he has the strength of a giant.
00:36:01He who defends his home,
00:36:03his wife and his children
00:36:05is a tiger before the enemy.
00:36:07A splendid massacre.
00:36:09That is what our commander proposes.
00:36:10We will all be slaughtered.
00:36:13But in glory.
00:36:15Look at what the odds are.
00:36:17We are one against six.
00:36:20So I propose
00:36:22that we surrender to Darius.
00:36:24It is true that if we alone here in Athens
00:36:27attempted to push back the Persians,
00:36:29there would be little hope for us.
00:36:31But if we had an ally with an army as strong as ours,
00:36:35then there would be hope for us.
00:36:37The army of Sparta
00:36:38With the help of Sparta,
00:36:40Athens would be saved.
00:36:42And what guarantees the help of Sparta?
00:36:45The common peril.
00:36:47After Athens, Sparta would be the Persians' target.
00:36:50And after Sparta, all of Greece.
00:36:52The Spartans know this.
00:36:54The Spartans have never trusted us.
00:36:56You're right.
00:36:58Sparta thinks that some Athenians are traitors
00:37:00ready to welcome the Persians.
00:37:02But there is one man in whom they would believe.
00:37:04A man they respect.
00:37:05An Athenian who is above all suspicion.
00:37:08Philippides!
00:37:10As soon as our forces are ready,
00:37:12Athens will march against the Persians
00:37:14and will face them on the plain of Marathon.
00:37:17If the council approves my plan,
00:37:19I order you, Philippides,
00:37:21to leave for Sparta immediately
00:37:23and enlist their help.
00:37:36May the gods ride with you.
00:37:38We'll meet at Marathon.
00:38:06Farewell.
00:38:08I'm sure you will succeed.
00:38:13Thank you, Caris.
00:38:15I will do all I can.
00:38:17Goodbye.
00:38:35Andromeda!
00:38:37You love him, don't you?
00:38:39I should have realized before today
00:38:41that he was the man for you.
00:38:43Yes, I love him.
00:38:45But someone turned him away from me.
00:38:47I love him.
00:38:49I love him.
00:38:51I love him.
00:38:53I love him.
00:38:55I love him.
00:38:57I love him.
00:38:59I love him.
00:39:01I love him.
00:39:03I love him.
00:39:05Since the day he was our guest,
00:39:07he despises me, hates me.
00:39:09I've been wrong, Andromeda.
00:39:11I've been so wrong in everything.
00:39:14The people are against Hippias.
00:39:17Diocritus is a liar.
00:39:19Father, you shouldn't blame yourself.
00:39:21No one doubts your good faith.
00:39:24Maybe everything will be all right.
00:39:36Why did you come here?
00:39:38Why?
00:39:40You said you wanted to do something for you.
00:39:42What is it?
00:39:44I want to make sure that Filippides won't be harmed.
00:39:46He loves you, and I know you love him.
00:39:49Protect him from Diocritus.
00:39:52Andromeda, Filippides doesn't love me.
00:39:54He's in love with you.
00:40:00He's in love with me?
00:40:02Yes.
00:40:03He's in love with me?
00:40:05But he never spoke about you at all.
00:40:07Yet I could see it in his eyes.
00:40:09I knew it when he kissed me,
00:40:11that he loved another.
00:40:13I tried.
00:40:15But never could I make him forget you, Andromeda.
00:40:17Are you satisfied now?
00:40:19Are you?
00:40:21Charis, listen to me.
00:40:23Get out of here.
00:40:25You dare come here parading your precious innocence
00:40:27and your purity.
00:40:29Filippides loves you.
00:40:31What more do you want?
00:40:33Get out of here.
00:41:03Get out of here.
00:41:33Get out of here.
00:42:04Oh!
00:42:06Oh!
00:42:12Oh!
00:42:34Oh!
00:42:52Everyone has lost his head over this Filippides.
00:42:56They expect to save Athens by sending him to Sparta.
00:42:58If he manages to get to Sparta,
00:43:00I'll be surprised.
00:43:02Surprised?
00:43:03Why do you say that?
00:43:05Because we are at war,
00:43:07and the road is treacherous.
00:43:09There are some men here to see you, master.
00:43:18Tell me what happened.
00:43:20Where are the others?
00:43:22And Filippides?
00:43:24He's still alive.
00:43:25He got away.
00:43:35Ah!
00:43:37How I hate you.
00:43:39Come on, you're coming with me.
00:43:41No, leave me alone, Theocritus.
00:43:43I'm taking you with me to the camp of Darius.
00:43:45No, I don't want to go.
00:43:47I'm sorry, my dear.
00:43:49You know too much, so you're coming with me.
00:43:55Come on.
00:44:12Athens is fighting for its life,
00:44:14and yours eventually.
00:44:16The Athenian army is facing the Persian hordes
00:44:18at Marathon alone.
00:44:20The life of Athens depends on you.
00:44:22Athens asks you to help her fight.
00:44:23Sparta will listen to the appeal of Athens,
00:44:26but before the new moon has risen,
00:44:28there is nothing we can do.
00:44:30Our priests forbid us to fight until then.
00:44:33That is the will of the gods.
00:44:35If the gods say that,
00:44:37then the gods will the destruction of all Greece.
00:44:39Filippides is right.
00:44:41We must help Athens.
00:44:43When Darius has taken over Athens,
00:44:45then nothing will stand in his way.
00:44:47He will come and take over Sparta.
00:44:49You're forgetting, Joris,
00:44:51that for as long as we can remember,
00:44:53Sparta and Athens have been bitter enemies.
00:44:55Wars have divided us.
00:44:57How can we aid them
00:44:59after what we have suffered at their hands?
00:45:01Athenian, we suspect and mistrust you.
00:45:04What proof do you have
00:45:06that this is not an Athenian trick?
00:45:08The word of Filippides.
00:45:10I, Eurus, will vouch for it.
00:45:12Friends, I remember my encounter with Eurus
00:45:14at the Olympic Games.
00:45:16Eurus is a great fighter,
00:45:18and he can tell you himself
00:45:20that strong arms do not win a fight.
00:45:21If the other parts of the body
00:45:23are not working with them.
00:45:25Spartans, our two cities
00:45:27are members of the same body,
00:45:29and if they fight together...
00:45:52The Black Sea
00:46:14Darius wants to strike fear
00:46:16in the hearts of the men.
00:46:18With a skull.
00:46:19Our men don't frighten easily, Miltiades.

00:52:37All right, Theocritus.
00:52:38I'll give you the men of the 30 ships you want.
00:52:41The Athenians have no fleet in any case.
00:52:43But beware.
00:52:44There'd better be no resistance when these men land at Piraeus.
00:52:47What's more, I want you to arrange for the complete surrender of the Athenian army.
00:52:51You know what happens to those who betray me.
00:52:54This idea of yours to attack Athens from the rear is your last chance.
00:52:59Look over there!
00:53:00It's a woman!
00:53:04Come here, Caris.
00:53:05He heard all you said.

00:53:25Let her die on the dirt.

00:53:37Hail, Darius.
00:53:38We'll meet again in Athens.
00:53:39We'll meet again in Athens.
00:54:09♪♪
00:54:24It will soon be midnight.
00:54:26The Spartans should have been here by sunset.
00:54:29Eurus told me they would.
00:54:31Perhaps they've changed their minds.
00:54:34Perhaps they think that Darius will be satisfied just to conquer Athens.
00:54:40The day we were able to defend ourselves.
00:54:43But tomorrow,
00:54:45without Sparta,
00:54:47we have no chance at all.
00:54:49♪♪
00:54:57Get up! Let us through!
00:54:59Look over there!
00:55:04It looks like they've taken a woman prisoner.
00:55:06Philippides, come here, quickly!
00:55:15We found her just outside the camp.
00:55:17She asked for you.
00:55:18She said she had something to tell you.
00:55:20Caris.
00:55:24Philippides.
00:55:27Philippides.
00:55:28What is it?
00:55:31I want you to listen.
00:55:33Beloved,
00:55:34Beloved.
00:55:35Caris, what happened?
00:55:40The Persian fleet will land at Piraeus.
00:55:46Tomorrow,
00:55:48they will attack Athens.
00:55:52Led by
00:55:54the Ocrages,
00:55:56Trajan,
00:55:57Philippides.
00:56:00Beloved,
00:56:01you must save Athens.
00:56:04Huh?
00:56:09♪♪
00:56:25You must hurry, Philippides.
00:56:27You must leave now for Athens.
00:56:30Or else Caris will have died in vain.
00:56:33What can we do against a fleet?
00:56:35I want you and the men of the Sacred Guard
00:56:38with a landing at Piraeus.
00:56:40All right.
00:56:41It's the only thing to do.
00:56:43Listen, if the Spartan army comes in time,
00:56:45we will be able to attack.
00:56:47And we will attack before dawn.
00:56:49Hold out as long as you can.
00:56:51You do not see us by noon.
00:56:53Save yourselves.
00:56:57Pray to the gods for her, Miltiades.
00:57:00And pray for help.
00:57:03♪♪
00:57:16Prepare a funeral pyre for this woman
00:57:18and bury her ashes on the field of battle.
00:57:20She fought and died as one of us.
00:57:22♪♪
00:57:51♪♪
00:58:06♪♪
00:58:26♪♪
00:58:46♪♪
00:59:06♪♪
00:59:26♪♪
00:59:57Be quiet.
00:59:59Hide the boats.
01:00:11We'll be back in an hour.
01:00:13We'll be back in an hour.
01:00:14We'll be back in an hour.
01:00:44♪♪
01:01:12♪♪
01:01:19♪♪
01:01:39♪♪
01:02:09Father.
01:02:11What is it, Andromeda?
01:02:13I didn't hear you go to bed.
01:02:15I was worried.
01:02:17I couldn't get to sleep.
01:02:20I wanted to think a little.
01:02:22Do not worry about me, Andromeda.
01:02:25I'll be back in an hour.
01:02:27I'll be back in an hour.
01:02:29I'll be back in an hour.
01:02:31I'll be back in an hour.
01:02:33I'll be back in an hour.
01:02:35I'll be back in an hour.
01:02:37I'll be back in an hour.
01:02:40Father, why won't you tell me?
01:02:43I'm not a child any longer,
01:02:46yet you treat me like a baby.
01:02:49There is something wrong.
01:02:52Everything is wrong, Andromeda.
01:02:54Everything.
01:02:56No.
01:02:57I'm sure that Philippides will succeed in his mission.
01:03:03A very touching family scene.
01:03:06Forgive me for interrupting you,
01:03:07but this is important, Cruces.
01:03:09And between friends, there is no need to stand on ceremony.
01:03:12What do you want, Theocritus?
01:03:14The time has come to show Hippias how loyal we are.
01:03:16I am here to hold you to your promises.
01:03:19What do you mean?
01:03:21Your father must convince the council to surrender to Darius.
01:03:23As the most venerable member of the council,
01:03:25he can make them do whatever he wants.
01:03:27Whatever you want, you mean.
01:03:29Well, Theocritus, I'm not a traitor to my country.
01:03:32I shall tell the council we must resist.
01:03:34I will not bother to tell you again.
01:03:36Convince the council,
01:03:37or you will never see your daughter again.
01:03:39No!
01:03:41Let me go!
01:03:43When you come to your senses.
01:03:45Not before.
01:03:55Listen to me.
01:03:57You have no choice anymore.
01:03:59If Athens does not surrender,
01:04:01it means the life of your daughter.
01:04:07No!
01:04:37Here, take her.
01:04:43Now, back to the fleet.
01:04:57Olympides!
01:04:59What happened?
01:05:01The ship sank.
01:05:03What?
01:05:05The ship sank.
01:05:07What happened?
01:05:09Hurry.
01:05:11I want you to summon the sacred guard.
01:05:14We have to get to Piraeus.
01:05:16The Persians are landing there.
01:05:19They are attacking us from the rear.
01:05:38Listen carefully.
01:05:40Our orders
01:05:42are to hold back the Persians
01:05:44only as long as we can.
01:05:46Remember,
01:05:48we're only a hundred against a whole fleet.
01:05:50We have no fear of them, Olympides.
01:05:52We will hold them back as ordered.
01:05:54We have a chance if we surprise them.
01:05:56First, we'll set the stakes in the water.
01:05:58And men,
01:06:00we fight over our lives.
01:06:02We fight over our lives.
01:06:04We fight over our lives.
01:06:05And men,
01:06:07we fight only if I give the signal.
01:06:09Olympides!
01:06:11Thank the gods you are still here, Olympides.
01:06:13It's my master.
01:06:15My master, Crusus.
01:06:17He's been wounded. He's dying.
01:06:19Won't you help him?
01:06:21Keep going. I'll be right back.
01:06:24I asked nothing for me.
01:06:26But say, Andromeda,
01:06:28she loves you, Olympides.
01:06:30Where is Andromeda?
01:06:32Theocritus took her away by force.
01:06:34But I don't know where.
01:06:37I will do what I can to find her.
01:06:40I don't mind dying.
01:06:42I don't care what happens to me.
01:06:46But her, no.
01:06:48She's done nothing wrong.
01:06:51She's suffering
01:06:53without knowing why.
01:06:56Save her.
01:06:58Save her, Olympides.
01:07:03I can only say this.
01:07:05If the gods are just,
01:07:07they will help.
01:07:17All right, let's get started.
01:07:19Follow me.
01:07:33Olympides.
01:08:03Olympides.
01:08:33Olympides.
01:09:03They're in a hurry, of course.
01:09:06But you will get to Athens
01:09:08in my chariot.
01:09:10Don't be too sure.
01:09:34Ghost of Piraeus!
01:09:36Too much to pour!
01:09:38Want your help.
01:10:03Piraeus, 1 mile to the head!
01:10:06I've the 1 mile signal!
01:10:12Today, you will share my triumph.
01:10:15As your slave.
01:10:16Or as my queen.
01:10:17You have your choice.
01:10:18I will be the queen.
01:10:20I will be the queen.
01:10:22I will be the queen.
01:10:23I will be the queen.
01:10:25I will be the queen.
01:10:27I will be the queen.
01:10:28I will be the queen.
01:10:30I will be the queen.
01:10:31Or as my queen.
01:10:32You have your choice.
01:10:34Today, I will have Athens at my feet.
01:10:37Impossible.
01:10:38The gods will defeat you.
01:10:40You're wrong, Andromeda.
01:10:42Even Zeus would not be able to stop this feat.
01:11:02What happened over there?
01:11:04I can't understand it.
01:11:05I know this coast.
01:11:07The water is deep enough.
01:11:31Don't let go!
01:11:33Hold on!
01:11:55Hoist the sail!
01:11:57Stand by.
01:12:02Stand by!
01:12:05We will attack their center.
01:12:07They will attack the flank.
01:12:12They're mad, the Aquagis.
01:12:14They're attacking.
01:12:16Let the fools try to attack us.
01:12:32Let's go!
01:12:52It's full of them.
01:12:53I know where they are.
01:13:01Let's go!
01:13:31Let's go!
01:13:47The Aquagis.
01:13:48Now what about your triumph?
01:13:49You are afraid.
01:13:51Tie her to the prop.
01:13:54Andromeda, you will regret that.
01:14:02Let's go!
01:14:20We are being made fools of by a handful of men.
01:14:22Forward!
01:14:23Pull on those oars, men!
01:14:25Don't let them get away!
01:14:27Open the jaws!
01:14:31Open the jaws!
01:15:02Attention!
01:15:03Here they come!
01:15:31They've got another boat.
01:15:33Let's board them!
01:15:41Good work.
01:15:42This one is done for.
01:15:44Now for the second one, too.
01:15:46Everyone in the water, follow me!
01:15:52They're attacking underwater.

01:20:28It's the end, Andromeda.
01:20:31Sparta didn't come in time. Miltiades must have been defeated.
01:20:37I'm not afraid. I've found you again.
01:20:42Man the oars!
01:20:45Head for the coast!
01:20:54Attention!
