Newest Book 2

So far in the book, the Spartan, identified as Xeones, has told the King that he is only an infantryman, and cannot give a full recound of the story of the Spartans. He states that yes, 300 spartan soldiers killed over 20,000 of Xerxes best troops in three days, and that yes, he knows that Sparta has lost their war, but he feels that he would like to let the people of Greece know that the Spartans didnt die in vian, and that they all were fighting for Greece as a whole, and that the fought even though no other Greeks came to help them. He is not ashamed of his heritage, but has the humility to respect that the Kings's surgeuns saved his life, when he was so sure that he would die with the rest of his comrades on the plain of battle. He lets Xerxes know that the Spartans chose this thin mountain pass as a way to keep the whole strength of the Kings army at bay, and to only allow a few at a time pass. At the time, everyone thought that this would be the best idea, but the found out the hard way the mistake that they had made.
