I proclaim you

Phillipides of Athens

the champion of these Olympic Games

may you thank the Gods For having giving you recient the victory

4 years hence, we shall gather at the eternal flame for the

next Olympic games.

To thee, divine Athena. To thee, I consecrate the laurels

of Olympia. As thou has protected me, goddess, protect

Athens, which bears thy name.

Today is a day for celebration. Philippines has brought Athens

the laws of the Olympic games. Now he returns to his post in

the ranks of Athens sacred god. We must never forget that the

people of Athens decreed only a short year ago. The exile of

the Tyran Hippies and have forever vanished dictatorship.

To you Philippines and to your companions of the sacred god.

The Aphenians appoint you the custodians of their liberty

Alright.

I'm not afraid of death mentalities and hope we shall

never have to fight for liberty but we live in a democracy and

if there's war, then every citizen, every citizen will be

a soldier.

Bravo Philippides. You're a popular man today. I too make

you the custodian of my liberty. The I'm just a

peasant. The gods gave me strength but they gave you

something even more precious. Intelligence. Be sure you make

use of it. The sun sinks in splendor, red as blood,

bringing the fearsome blackness of the night. While the

desperate Trojans, pray to all the gods above, hoping to live

till the dawn. Go on Andrometer, read us the passage

about the great war. No, read us a story about Paris and

Helen. Read Andrometer, whatever you like. Then I shall

read you of Paris and Helen. Oh, wonderful. I always cry

when I hear it.

Is my father. I shall read it later.

Bruce is your daughter doesn't seem to love her future

husband. Every time she sees me, she frowns. No, no. You're

wrong, The Operatives. He is wrong, isn't he Andrameda? You

said it for me. you are in our meaning watch your father

farmers to the me and I will to my marriage you on people enjoy

this in my day we will parents and shows and trust are alleged

and promire

Felipe's will be a dangerous opponent for us. He's a friend

of mine and he's bull headed like all our peasants. No.

Felipe's is not to be a peasant. He is a man who love

the soil only because he doesn't know anything better.

We will show him how good life can be. And he'll be one of us.

What do you mean? If we control the sacred guard, we can easily

control the whole city of Athens. That is what Hippies

and exiles suggest that we do. Philippes has to join us.

Otherwise, it'll be done away with. The ocerative. You know I

share your ideals and those of Hippious. I promised you my

daughter. But I refuse to be involved in bloodshed. I

refuse, huh, Cruises. I don't want Felipe's revolved. I want

him with us to our ideals.

Oh, you frightened me. Is hitting me part of the game?

No. And losing a ball in a tree isn't part of the game either.

I was trying to knock the ball out of the tree.

It is not too easy to do.

Wanna try?

That wasn't so hard.

How do you play this game?

You throw the ball as far as possible like this.

Is that alright? No, that was too far.

You're as beautiful as a statue of a goddess.

Why don't you like me? I know you. You are Felipe. Felipe's

the hero of Olympia. And you? My name is. I won't tell you.

We shall never meet again. We will meet again. Do you know

the temple on the road to Perez? I know it very well.

What are you talking about? He wants to see you again. He's

just being kind.

You're wrong. I really want to.

Come on. Don't forget, she will dance with us in honor of Eve

at the temple tonight. Remember,

Are you Philippides?

Yes, I am

you are a fortunate man Philippides

I have an invitation for you from my mistress

a girl who will dance tonight?

that's right Pillippides

a girl will dance tonight. who do you know?

what's her name?

what difference does it make?

she won't be more beautiful if you know the name

- it doesn't matter

- Alright, where should I go?

follow me

Yes, Philippides, the hero of Olympia and you, Karus will

tame him. I hope he is at least a handsome man. Would I ask you

to make love to him if he would not? Well, it would hardly be

the first time you've lied to me, the occupied. Be careful of

what you say. And think about what you have to do.

Let me tell you this, win into my cause and you can name your

price. Oh, that's much better. I adore to hear you when you

talk that way.

there he is

Don't you want to see him?

well what do you think of him?

Good Night Karis

I will leave it to your work

You may go eat your expected.

Welcome to my house.

What's the matter? Are you not pleased by

what you see, Philippe?

I was expecting to see someone else.

Huh? Prettier than me? -No, different.

Who are you?

Karis

I was in Olympia the day you won

you know I think

I heard your name before

I prepared a feast in your honor

For me?

You'll see

The most wonderful dancers in Athens

the finest wines

wrestlers and music

and it is all for you

I thank you Karis,

but no today

we'll see about that

You may drink with me. It's not a love potion.

Do you really think so? I'm sure of it. When the moon is

over the Acropolis, you shall see, you'll be here. Andromeda,

Diana, come, it's time.

Oh divine , in your goodness, grant that we find

our beloved.

Oh.

They're not better than animals. Well, I thought they

were the fight. Know what I'd pay them?

I like this better

don't you like wrestling at lot?

I do

by these men are not wrestlers

they are killers

those are what they are

I thank you very much but I must leave. You are rude. You

have to leave. I'm very sorry but I must.

As you wish.

Let me pass.

Ok.

Ah

Do you expect me to believe that fantastic story?

when do you meet him again?

I never will

I had already explained to you

I'm not used to be rejected

I don't like it and I don't want anybody to know it

I don't give up so easy

I thought you understood Karis what your position was. I

decide what you do and when you do it, is that clear? This

house is mine. Everything you have is mine. This time you are

mistaken. And you too, Karis, are mine.

You wish I would leave here.

But don't ask me to do this.

I've no desire to hurt Philippides.

I pay well

what is this with Pillippides? are you in love?

he is the one in love

but with another

So that's it. Love someone else. And you love him. I will

not see him any anymore. That was to remind you that you will

see Philippines whether you want to or not. Don't obey me,

You will obey all my orders whatever I tell you to do

You have no choice. Otherwise, I will kill you.

Come back to me. You say you hate weapons. Yet even a man

like you might need them one day. You may be right but it

would be better if weapons didn't exist. But they'd do

exist Philippides. What if you were attacked by a swordsman?

You would be at a disadvantage. You have to know how to use a sword.

Here. Catch it.

Alright. hurry.

Again. Faster.

I won't your shoulders. You're fast as the wind.

Again.

You try.

now

Beautiful. Perfect

Another thing,

a sword is not used only for hand-to-hand fighting.

This way?

No like this

That was dead center. What is it? What happened to it? A

girl. He saw her chariot and rode off after her.

Why did you run from me? I have nothing to say to you.

I only what it tell you I been thinking about you

you only saw me once

you don't even know my name

Does it matter? I think that I

I love you.

Don't you believe me? It's no use. My future's been decided.

You must never see me again.

Listen, I won't give you up if you tell me one thing.

Say that you could love me.

No, you mustn't even hope

it would be useless. Please forget me.

Your name? Can't you tell me?

Do I surprise you? I know you would never have come to see

me. How did you get in? I don't have much trouble making men do

what I want them to do. But not Philippities. I'm glad you

came. I don't believe you.

Not like that. You must never kiss me like that, Philippe.

Kiss me when your anger has left you. There's no anger in

me. Have no love. Don't worry, I know you don't love me. It's

too much to ask for. I'm aware of that but I wanna make you

happy.

before I met you I had no need of love

but now I do I love you

I need you so much

all you need is to get what you want

you're cruel

Philippides, it's time to release the guard

I have to go goodbye Karis

that's enough

I invited him here so we could convince him. Convince

Philippines. Might as well try to convince Muttie's. How do

you suggest we go about it? You said you were the expert. Every

man has his price. Somewhere rather. I hate his intrigues.

Ipia is returning from exile. Soon we'll be able to act. The

people are with us but the sacred god could ruin

everything if it were against us, Crusus. Well then, you have

an idea? Of course, and it's a beautiful one. What is it The

I'll tell you later, don't worry. You sent for me, father?

Yes. We're having an important guest, my dear. I want you to

dine with us today. A very important guest, Andromeda.

Very. A friend of yours? Not yet. But he soon may be one.

What is his name? He'll tell you himself there he is.

Philippines is here.

Welcome to my home, Philippines. Your presence here

is an honor. So is your invitation.

this is my daughter

who is to become my wife

It seems you already know each other. We may have met but

without really knowing each other. As this happens in a

dream sometimes. If I had ever met you, even in a dream, I

would remember. I don't understand a word of what

you're talking about. The table is set. Be seated. Music. Music

is excellent for the digestion if you please.

find be the presents of wine. And round the sir also of line.

Fine be the placeer of company. And not a beauty health life.

What is it, Philippees? I'm afraid you're not having a very

good time. On the contrary, I'm having a wonderful time.

Councilman Session, at this hour, surprising? They must

have an important reason. I'm very sorry but I must go. For

Liberty is my house is yours and the will keep you company.

Do you know what is going on? I know what everyone knows. Our

fleet is decimated and the Persians threatened to land on

our shores guided by the traitor Hippies. Not everyone

thinks Hippies is a traitor. I'm very tired. Excuse me.

Poor Andromeda. She's so sad and I think you know why, Philippines.

What do you mean? You might as well admit that

you know her. I suspected that you knew each other and when I

saw her embarrassment on seeing you, I was certain of it. She

never broke the promise she made. The promise her father

gave to my father, you mean, our marriage was decided on

while we were still children. She doesn't love me. If you

wanna marry her, I might be able to help you. And what do

you want in exchange? I, nothing. Cruises does. You and

your sacred guard could be valuable to him. You see, they

left the two of us alone. So, we might talk plainly. You can

have Andrometer. Only if you aid us in our cause. Does

Andromeda accept this? I said that she accept this and you.

Do you accept? Tell the police I ask you a question. I am

asking the questions. Answer me. Doesn't drummer agree to

this. Oh, of course she does. Otherwise, we would hardly have

asked you here. She would do it for a father. She would do

anything for him and if necessary, she would do

anything for our cause.

Phillipides

What do you want?

I waited for you. I want to

tell you how I really feel. I love you.

So now you love me.

Now I know that you're one of them. I'll have no part of the

scheme. Goodbye. The liberty.

Anybody.

What did you tell him about me? Why does he hate me?

He will be sorry.

Since he came back from the city, he's not the same. He

doesn't talk to anyone.

Melchiades

Hey, Philippines. Welcome, little tidys. I came for some

of that fresh air you always talked about. The wind is from

the east. Dries up the land. What are you talking about? The

east wind brings rain. Belodies, bring us wine. What's

new in Athens? Let me see. Oh, they finished the new bath.

It's very expensive but to go there is a sign of distinction.

It's not for us. Well, I've never been there myself but I

hear The goes there all the time to show how rich he is to

everyone. Do you know who misses you in Athens,

Philippines? That very beautiful girl from my Cena.

And you never said a word about her

I don't know her

She might had seen you at Olympia.

she wan't the only girl who fall in love with you there

they all went out of their minds when they saw you

specially when you wrestled the Spartian

I think he is a very good man

Euros is his name

he may had won

but I had all the luck that day

your friends in the secret guard don't call it luck Phillipides

after you left Athens their heart went out of it

they need your leadership

They don't need me that much. No. We all need you now more

than we ever did.

but we understand why you wanted to leave Athens

to avoid worry and responsabilities

here you can have calm you can live pleasantly

they are wrong

there are responsabilities, here, everywhere

But I'm not going back to Athens.

I bring bad news. Person forces have begun to land at the Plane

of Marathon. You must return to Athens.

All goes well. What do you think of my army, hipus? You

will see Darius, your Persians won't even have to fight. The

Athenians and all of Greece wait for the great Darius to

liberate them from the tyranny of their rulers. You will march

into Athens in triumph. Yes, you may be right and yet you

may be wrong. I put my faith in my soldiers.

This is not the first time that our country has been invaded.

This is not the first time that our country, our cities, and

our people have been threatened with destruction. True. But

never before has the danger been so great. The Persians

have been a few hours marcher. What do you mean by that? That

we should surrender that we should welcome the Persians as

friends.

Also see that Athens alone isn't strong enough to defeat

Darius and his army. We're too few in number. At most, we

might arm 10 thousand infantry men and 5,000 cavalry. It's six

against one and we have no ships of war. We will arm

everyone. Every and fight for an ideal common to every

Athenian citizen. If we may not live in freedom, then we will

die for freedom.

Defend us from the Persians.

We are waiting Melchiaves All of Athens waits to hear from you

I'm sure you have an ingenious plan to lead us to victory

I do not possess the divine power to transform a disaster

into a triumph. The operas asks me for a miracle but he knows

full well, it cannot be. I can only say this, my men will

fight for Athens up to the end. We shall force the invader back

into the sea or he will enslave our people. Everyone of us,

every man who hates tyranny, his duty is to help fight the

enemy. Well then, why have you held back all the men of the

sacred god? These champions of the sacred god. Why do they

stay in Athens? Only 100 men. Not enough to make a decisive

difference in a war theocratist. They have been

ordered to defend the temple of Palace Athena. I do not believe

in miracles but I put faith in the will of the gods and in the

justice of our force. What good is justice? What good is

justice on the battlefield? There is no justice in war.

Only great. The number of armed men is what caused. How can we

match the Persian problem? You forget one thing, The

Operatives. When a man fights on the side of justice, he has

the strength of a giant. He who defends his home, his wife, and

his children is a tiger before the enemy. A splendid massacre.

That is what our commander proposes. We will all be

slaughtered but in glory, look at what the odds are. We are

one against six. The Light Pauls.

It is true that if we alone here in Athens attempted to

push back the Persians, there would be little hope for us.

But if we had an ally with an army as strong as ours, then

there would be hope for us. The army of Sparta, with the help

of Sparta, Athens would be saved. And what guarantees the

help of Sparta? The common peril. After Athens Sparta

would be the Persian's target and after Sparta all of Greece,

the Spartans know this. The Spartans have never trusted us.

You're right. Sparta thinks that some Athenians are

traitors ready to welcome the Persians but there is one man

in whom they would believe a man they respect an Athenian

who is above all suspicion the liberties as soon as our forces

are ready Athens will march against the Persians and will

face them on the plane of Marathon if the council

approves my plan I order you Philippines to leave for Sparta

immediately and enlist their help

May the gods ride with you. We'll meet at Marathon.

Farewell. I'm sure you will succeed.

Thank you, Karis. I will do all I can. Goodbye.

Andrometer. You love him, don't you? I should have realized

before today that he was the man for you. Yes, I love him.

But someone turned him away from me. Since the day he was

our guest, he despises me. I hate me. I've been wrong at

Ramadan. I've been so wrong in everything. The people are

against Hippies. Is a liar. Father, you shouldn't blame

yourself. no1 doubts your good faith. Maybe everything will be

alright.

why did you really come here anyway?

you said you want me to do something for you

well, what is it? tell me

I want to make sure that Phillipedes won't be harm

he loves you and I know you loves him

Protect him

Andrómeda. Phillipedes doesn't love me He loves you

He's in love with me but he never spoke about you at all.

Yet, I could see it in his eyes. I knew it when he kissed

me that he loved another. I tried. But never could I make

him forget you, Andromeda. Are you satisfied now? Are you?

Charis, listen to me. Get out of here. You dare come here

parading your precious innocence and your purity.

Phillipedes loves you. What more do you want?

Come on.

Everyone has lost his head over this Phillipedes

They expect to save Athens by sending him to Sparta. If he

manages to get the spotter, I'll be surprised. Surprised?

Why do you say that? Because we're at war and the road is

treacherous. There are some men here to see you master.

Tell me what happened. Where are the others? And

Philippines. He's still alive. He got away.

Oh, I hate you. Come on, you're coming with me. No, let me

alone. The I'm taking you with me to the camp of Paris. No, I

don't wanna go. I'm sorry, my dear. You know too much so

you're coming with me.

Athens is fighting for its life and yours eventually. The

Athenian army is facing the Persian Horse at Marathon

alone. The life of Athens depends on you. Athens asks you

to help her fight. Sparta will listen to the appeal of Athens.

But before the new moon has risen, there is nothing we can

do. Our priests forbid us to fight until then. That is the

will of the god. If the gods say that, then the gods will

the destruction of all grace. Philippines is right. We must

help Athens. When Darius has taken over Athens, then nothing

will stand in his way. He will come and take over Sparta.

You're forgetting your that for as long as we can remember,

Sparta and Athens have been bitter enemies. Wars have

divided us. How can we aid them after what we have suffered at

their hands? Athean, we distrust you

What proof do you have that this is not an Athean trick?

The word of Phillipedes I Eurus, will budge for it

Friends, I remember my encounter with Yuros at the Olympic Games.

Yuros is a great fighter and he can tell you himself that

strong arms do not win a fight. If the other parts of the body

are not working with them. Spartans, our two cities are

members of the same body and if they fight together, then it

can make all the difference. Greece shall be saved. I have

nothing more to say. Now, the fate of Greece is in your hand.

Dalius wants to strike fear in the hearts of a man with a skull.

Our men don't frighten easily motivities.

Look, they're not using their cavalry. Let us attack them on

the flanks. No, we better wait and see exactly what they're

planning. Be patient.

Opinions, listen to me. For liberty and our country's

freedom. Forward.

the carriage,

let go the catapults

No Mel.

all by the tracks

Atheneans, liberties, Atheneas Hold out

Follow Me. Attack.

Alright, The Ocratus. I'll give you the man of the thirty ships

you want. The Athenians have no fleet in any case but beware,

there better be no resistance when these men land in Pareas

Once more, I want you to arrange for the complete

surrender of the Athenian army.

You know what happens to those who betray me.

This idea of yours to attack Athens from the

rear is your last chance.

look over there. it's a woman

Come here Karis She heard all you said.

Stop Karis

Let her die in the dirt. She's a spy.

That is what will happen to all your enemies.

Hail Darius. We'll meet again at Athens.

it will soon be midnight.

The Spartan should have been here by sunset.

Eurus told me they would.

Perhaps they've changed their minds.

Perhaps they think that Darius will be

satisfied just to conquer Athens.

Today we were able to defend ourselves but tomorrow, without Sparta

we have no chance at all.

look over there

it looks like the took a woman prisioner

Phillipides, come here, quickly

Found her just outside the camp. She asked for you. She

said she had something to tell you.

Karis

- Philippides... Philippides... - What is it Karis?

I want you to listen

beloved

Karis, what happened?

Persian fleet

tomorrow

they'll attack then

Teocrito Traitor

Phillipedes

beloved

you must save Athens

you mus hurry Phillipedes

you must leave now for Athens

or Karis would had died in vain

what can we do against their fleet

I want you and the men of the sacred guard

to delay thier landing in Pareas

alright, it's the only thing to do

If Sparta men come on time we will be able to attack

we will attach before dawn

hold them as long as you can

if you don't see us by noon... save yourself

pray to the gods for her and pray for help

prepare a funeral fire for this woman and bury her ashes on the

field of battle. She fought and died as one of us.

be quiet

hide folks

We'll be back in an hour.

Father,

what is it, Andromeda? I didn't hear you go to bed.

I was worried. I couldn't get to sleep. I wanted to think a

little. Do not worry about the Andrometer. Father, why won't

you tell me? I'm not a child any longer yet you treat me

like a baby. There is something wrong. Everything is wrong in

drama. Everything. I'm sure that Philippities will succeed

in his mission.

A very touching family scene. Forgive me for interrupting you

but this is important, Cruises. And between friends, there is

no need to stand on ceremony. What do you want, The

Operatives? The time has come to show hippies how loyal we

are. I am here to hold you to your promises. What do you

mean? Your father must convince the council to surrender to

Darius. As the most vulnerable member of the council, he can

make them do whatever he want. Whatever you want, you mean.

Well, the I'm not a traitor to my country. I shall tell the

council we must resist. I will not bow to tell you again.

Convince the council or you will never see your daughter

again. No. Stop. No. When you come to your senses. Not

before.

Listen to me. You have no choice anymore. If Athens does

not surrender, it means the life of your daughter.

Take care.

Now, back to the feet.

Phillipedes, What happened?

hurry

I want you to summon a sacred guard. We've got to get to Paris.

The Persians are landing there. Attacking us from the rear.

Listen carefully. Our orders are to hold back the Persians

only as long as we can. Remember, we're only 100

against the whole fleet. We have no fear of them,

Felipeties. We will hold them back as ordered. We have a

chance if we surprise them. First, we'll set the stakes in

the water and men, we fight only if I give the signal.

Felipe's. Thank the gods you are still here for liberties.

It's my master. My master Cruises. He's been wounded.

He's dying. Won't you help him? Keep going. I'll be right back.

I has nothing to be. Let's even come with her. She loves you

for liberties. Where is Andromeda? The operatives took

her away by force but I don't know where. I will do what I

can to find her. I don't mind dying. I don't care what

happens to me. But her and Noah, she's done nothing wrong.

she is suffering

Without knowing why.
