We Spartans lined up before the Theban hoplites, and we did not fear their sharp-bladed spears nor their spindles nor their swords. Our shields formed a wall and we were as a wall, a wall of brothers. I knew that my own spear would pierce the Theban panoply in the thick of the crack and thunder of our meeting, just as I knew my brothers' would strike through to the hearts of our enemy.
