This is the spring 480 B.C., the Persian King Xerxes, following the plan the director of his father Dariu to conquer the cities - been Hellenic, it comes to Hellas. The previous Persian invasion and the diplomatic tries tribes have already turned Hellas more north and been nearby Persian. But the people of Athens and Esparta, the biggest Hellenic power of that time, sensation completely insulted by the request of the Persian emissaries to yield to Xerxes, and so to kill them. In Esparta, King Leonidas consults the local oracle, who gives two options: a Spartan king will have to be sacrificed, or Esparta will be burned to the ground. One year earlier (481, B.C.) a consortium Panhellenic of all the cities - the state of the south had already recognized the superiority of the army Espartano (the best organized and the army trained then) and King Leonidas had declared as the supreme commander of the Hellenic combined army. It is decided then that a small force should block the way of Xerxes to Hellas of the south in the step Thermopylae. This step was, then, 12 meters wide. The big historian Herodotus, possibly exaggeration, declares that there were 1,700,000 Persian ones (his real number might have been everywhere from 100,000 to 1,000,000) against 7,000 hoplites Hellenic and slaves, even 300 men of the guard of elite of King Espartana. King Xerxes hoped four days for the Hellenes to be scared and finally to give up and he was completely surprised by the finished apathy of his opponents. The Xerxes tried to convince Leonidas to drop weapon, leave his position, not kneel down before him and I live in like a local governor under Xerxes. King Leonidas answered *quot; molon wash, *quot; the one that it means *quot; They come and obtain them. *quot; The battle of three days began, with 300 Spartans and 700 Thespians (another Hellenes where sent by Leonidas to protect steps to his flanks) slaughter of thousands of Persian with minimal losses. The Persian entire campaign would have failed if it had not been for Efialtes, who showed to Xerxes a secret step to the Hellenic flanks. After a final battle led by King Xerxes he himself, the Hellenic force was killed and his heroism and the glory was written forever in the history. From the beginning of the battle, the Hellenes buried his dead persons in the point where they fell down. Then fight signs where done for the dead persons of every Hellenic faction. For the Pelloponisians, (even 300 Spartans) the generally well-read sign (free translation) *quot; In this place 4,000 Pelloponisians it fought against 30 millions). *quot; For 300 Spartans (Lakaedaemonians), the sign reads (free translation) *quot; Ah abroad, to say to the Lakaedaemonians that we are buried here obeying his laws, *quot; meaning that they never hesitated and they never moved back from the enemy. The impact of the battle was enormous for both sides. The morality of the Persian ones fell down to the zero, and the Hellenes lost his fear of the Persian conqueror and organized his defense. After several guessed right battles, finally the Persian army defeated the Hellenes and it repelled his invasion in the Battle of Plataea in 479 B.C..

Esto es la primavera 480 A.C., el Rey persa Xerxes, siguiendo el plan director de su padre Dariu para conquistar las ciudades - estado helénicas, llega a Hellas. La invasión persa anterior y las tentativas diplomáticas han girado ya tribus Hellas más del norte y estados al lado persa. Pero la gente de Atenas y Esparta, los poderes helénicos más grandes entonces, sensación completamente insultada por la petición de los emisarios persas para rendirse a Xerxes, y tan matarlos. En Esparta, el Rey Leonidas consulta el oráculo local, quién da dos opciones: un rey espartano tendrá que ser sacrificado, o Esparta será quemada a la tierra. Un año antes (481, A.C.) un consorcio Panhellenic de todas las ciudades - estado del sur había reconocido ya la superioridad del ejército Espartano (el mejor organizado y entrenó el ejército entonces) y había declarado el Rey Leonidas como el comandante supremo del ejército helénico combinado. Es decidido entonces que una pequeña fuerza debería bloquear el camino de Xerxes a Hellas del sur en el paso Thermopylae. Este paso era, entonces, 12 metros de ancho. El gran historiador Herodotus, posiblemente exageración, declara que había 1,700,000 persas (su número verdadero podría haber estado en todas partes de 100,000 a 1,000,000) contra 7,000 hoplites helénicos y esclavos, incluso los 300 hombres de la guardia de élite de Rey Espartana. El rey Xerxes esperó cuatro días el Hellenes para ser asustado y finalmente rendirse y fue completamente sorprendido por la apatía completa de sus opositores. El Xerxes trató de convencer a Leonidas de dejar caer armas, dejar su posición, no arrodillarse antes de él y vivo en como un gobernador local bajo Xerxes. El rey Leonidas contestó "molon lave," el que significa "Vienen y los consiguen. "La batalla de tres días comenzó, con los 300 Espartanos y 700 Thespians (otro Hellenes donde enviado por Leonidas para proteger pasos a sus flancos) matanza de miles de persas con pérdidas mínimas. La campaña persa entera habría fallado si no hubiera sido para Efialtes, quién mostró a Xerxes un paso secreto a los flancos helénicos. Después de una batalla final conducida por el Rey Xerxes él mismo, la fuerza helénica fue matada y su heroísmo y la gloria fue escrita para siempre en la historia. Desde el principio de la batalla, el Hellenes sepultó sus muertos en el punto donde ellos se cayeron. Entonces combata signos donde hecho para los muertos de cada facción helénica. Para el Pelloponisians, (incluso los 300 Espartanos) el signo generalmente leído (traducción libre) "En este lugar 4,000 Pelloponisians luchó contra 30 millones). "Para los 300 Espartanos (Lakaedaemonians), el signo lee (traducción libre) "Ah al extranjero, decir al Lakaedaemonians que somos sepultados aquí obedeciendo sus leyes," significando que ellos nunca vacilaron y nunca se retiraron del enemigo. El impacto de la batalla era enorme para ambos lados. La moral de los persas se cayó al cero, y el Hellenes perdió su miedo del conquistador persa y organizó su defensa. Después de varias batallas acertadas, el Hellenes por último derrotó el ejército persa y repelió su invasión en la Batalla de Plataea en 479 A.C..

The blood-soaked fairy tale of a fight of a Scandinavian warrior against the big and murderous troll, Grendel. Heads will roll. From the loyalty to the king Hrothgar, respected a lot of man of the Danes, Beowulf makes a troop of warriors over the sea release a village of the marauding monster. The monster, Grendel, is not a being of mythical powers, but to be disadvantaged one of the meat and blood - gigantic meat and furious blood, done by a revenge of it, while Beowulf, a victorious soldier in his own right, disturbs increasingly by the heroic myth has become which rises around his feats. The willingness of Beowulf to kill by order Hrothgar sways if it becomes clear that the king is more responsible for the edge ale of the troll than it was obvious first. As a soldier Beowulf is unusual for the hesitation. His respect with the mesmerisierenden witch, Selma, creates deeper confusion. The wings of his sword in a big, stinking beast are not any more such an easy action. The history is bet in barbarian Northern Europe where the government of the Vielgötter gives way to - the southern intruder, Christ. Beowulf a man is caught between sides in this big movement, his easy Codeumwandeln and before his eyes breaking up. Revenge, loyalty and mercy strongly embrace. A history of the blood and beer and sweat which draws off the mask of the heroic myth, a raw and confused fairy tale leaving.

Das bluteingeweichte Märchen eines Kampfs eines skandinavischen Kriegers gegen den großen und mörderischen Troll, Grendel. Köpfe werden rollen. Aus der Treue dem König Hrothgar, respektierte viel Herrn der Dänen, Beowulf bringt eine Truppe von Kriegern über das Meer dazu, ein Dorf des plündernden Ungeheuers zu befreien. Das Ungeheuer, Grendel, ist nicht ein Wesen von mythischen Mächten, aber eines des Fleisches und Bluts - riesiges Fleisch und wütendes Blut, getrieben durch eine Rache davon, benachteiligt zu werden, während Beowulf, ein siegreicher Soldat in seinem eigenen Recht, zunehmend beunruhigt durch das Held-Mythos geworden ist, das sich um seine Großtaten erhebt. Die Bereitwilligkeit von Beowulf, im Auftrag Hrothgar zu töten, schwankt, wenn es klar wird, dass der König für die Randale des Trolls verantwortlicher ist, als es zuerst offenbar war. Als ein Soldat ist Beowulf zum Zögern ungewohnt. Seine Beziehung mit der mesmerisierenden Hexe, Selma, schafft tiefere Verwirrung. Das Schwingen seines Schwertes an einem großen, stinkenden Biest ist nicht mehr solch eine einfache Tat. Die Geschichte wird im barbarischen Nordeuropa gesetzt, wo die Regierung der Vielgötter zu einem - der südliche Eindringling, Christus nachgibt. Beowulf ist ein Mann gefangen zwischen Seiten in dieser großen Verschiebung, seinem einfachen Codeumwandeln und vor seinen Augen auseinander fallend. Rache, Loyalität und Gnade umschlingen stark. Eine Geschichte des Bluts und Bieres und Schweißes, der die Maske des Held-Mythos abzieht, ein rohes und verwirrtes Märchen verlassend.
