Battle of Thermopylae was a virtual representation of one of Leonidas I's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan in 2018 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.[1]
Description[edit | edit source]
Leonidas and his army prepared for the battle against the Achaemenid Empire.
Dialogue[edit | edit source]
Leonidas stood on the top of a cliff when Dienekes approached him.
- Dienekes: We are ready, my king.
- Leonidas: Tell me, Dienekes, have you ever gone fishing with your son?
- Dienekes: No, never. A soldier's life is all I've had the honor to know.
- Leonidas: I would have liked to have gone fishing with my son. But now...
Leonidas put his helmet on.
- Leonidas: Let's meet our fate, shall we?
After witnessing dozens of Persian ships deploying troops on the coast, Leonidas and Dienekes left to meet their army. Leonidas walked among his men.

- Leonidas: Spartans! Every breath that you have taken, has led you to this moment. Every drop of blood, sweat and tear, all of it, has led to where you stand right now. The Persians come to make slaves of us all. I have a better idea. I say we drench the gods with their blood. What say you Spartans?
The Spartans roared.
- Leonidas: For our sons!
The Spartans roared again.
- Leonidas: For our daughters!
The Spartans roared again.
- Leonidas: For Sparta!

The Spartans roared three times, then mounted guard for the incoming Persian attack. Amid the battle, Leonidas fought and killed a few Persians with his spear. He then killed three captains before making his way to the commander, Kurush. The two men threw themselves off a cliff and stood up on an outcropping.
- Kurush: Puny Spartan! I'll bring Xerxes your head.
- Leonidas: Xerxes send his sheep to slaughter. Come, Persian!
- Kurush: I will bring Xerxes your head, you insolent Spartan fool!
- Leonidas: Come and get it!
- Kurush: Your bloodline ends today, Spartan. I'll get drunk on your blood as the crows feed on your eyes!
- Leonidas: You will try, and you will fail.
- Kurush: Xerxes is the King of Kings! All will bow before him after I crush you!
- Leonidas: Come, fool! Enough talk. Time to die.
- Kurush: Not so tough without your army to protect you!
- Leonidas: Then why are you bleeding so much?
- Leonidas: My son is more of a warrior than you.
- Kurush: Once I'm done with you, king, all of Sparta's sons will be slaves for Xerxes!
- Leonidas: Sparta's sons would rather die!
- Kurush: That can be arranged.
Leonidas killed Kurush.
- Leonidas: No match for a Spartan!

At the end of the battle, the Spartan piled up the dead Persian bodies. A Spartan soldier brought a tied Persian soldier to Leonidas.
- Spartan Light Soldier: We are betrayed, my king. Xerxes knows of the path behind the mountain. They are coming.
- Persian Soldier: By dawn, you'll be completely surrounded!
- Leonidas: We are Spartans, when are we not.
- Persian Soldier: Spartans!
The Persian spat on Leonidas.

Leonidas stabbed the Persian on the mouth, killing him. He then addressed his men.
- Leonidas: Today was a day the Persians will never forget. Tomorrow is a day the world will remember.
