"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."
