We three hundred know we will die
We'll sacrifice our lives for all
Here under a mound we will lie
Fighting the Persians we will fall
They defended a mountain pass
The Gates of Fire against the horde
But they had been betrayed, alas
By Ephialtes, the abhorred
Simonides' epitaph reads:
'Go, tell the Spartans, stranger passing by
That here, obedient to their laws, we lie'
All Hellenes, remember their deeds!
