Molon Labe
Molon labe, meaning “come and get it”, is a classical
expression of defiance. When the Persian armies demanded
that the Greeks surrender their weapons at the Battle of
Thermopylae, King Leonidas I responded with this phrase.
Er, in the movie, I think he said “Come and take them!”
“Molon labe, meaning come and get it, is a classical
expression of defiance.”
Well, scholars have said the more accurate translation is: “Come and take (them).” But, why quibble? :)
