"Remember us." As simple an order as a king can give. "Remember why we died." For he did not wish tribute, nor song, nor monuments nor poems of war and valor. His wish was simple. "Remember us," he said to me. That was his hope, should any free soul come across that place, in all the countless centuries yet to be. May all our voices whisper to you from the ageless stones, "Go tell the Spartans, passerby, that here by Spartan law, we lie." -Dilios The "300"

I agree with gfa... the photo is great without the story. It was in my top ten for the week.
This is a nice photo and a great history/story, so much so that the story over shadows the photo, (IMHO).
This is one of my favorites for the week.
Cool shot my vote
Thanks for the comment
This is really a great photo. I'm surprised at the lack of comments to this point. Here is another instance where the size of the shot on the entry page just doesn't do it justice. Zoom in on it. Imagine its on the wall of a gallery and your are standing inches away... and you'll see what I mean.
