300

by jack-jenkins

Spartan shield wall, impenetrable & fortified Persian soldiers, dying by the thousand Spears pointed outward, catching flesh & blood Persian soldiers, dying by the thousand Sun blotted out by Persian arrows Persian archers, killing them all Spartan soldiers, fight to the last Persian archers, killing them all Spartans all fallen, not one left alive Persian soldiers turn back home Spartans left immortalized, final stand Persian soldiers turn back home Spartans, three hundred strong Spartans, still standing tall
