Leonidas und die Schlacht bei den Thermopylen (174 Aufrufe)

Neben den großen Berichten bei Herodot und Diodorus Siculus gibt es auch kleinere Quellen wie diese:

Plutarch, Aussprüche von Spartanern (Moralia 225 A-D):
3.
When the Ephors said that he [sc. Leonidas] was taking but few men to Thermopylae, he said, “Too many for the enterprise on which we are going [οὐκ ἀλλὰ πλέονας, ἔφη, πρὸς ἣν βαδίζομεν πρᾶξιν].”

4.
And when again they said, “Hae ye decided to dae aught else save to keep the barbarians from getting’ by?” “Nominally that,” he said, “but actually expecting to die for the Greeks [τῷ λόγῳ, ἔφη, τῷ δ’ ἔργῳ ἀποθανούμενος ὑπὲρ τῶν Ἑλλήνων].”

6.
When someone said, “Because of the arrows of the barbarians it is impossible to see the sun,” he said, “Won’t it be nice, then, if we shall have shade in which to fight them [οὐκοῦν, ἔφη, χάριεν, εἰ ὑπὸ σκιᾷ αὐτοῖς μαχεσόμεθα].”

8.
When someone said, “Leonidas, are you here to take such a hazardous risk with so few men against so many?” he said, “If you men think that I rely on numbers, the all Greece is not sufficient, for it is but a small fraction of their numbers; but if on men’s valour, then this number will do [εἰ δὲ ταῖς ἀρεταῖς, καὶ οὗτος ὁ ἀριθμὸς ἱκανός].”

10.
Xerxes wrote to him, “It is possible for you, by not fighting against God but by ranging yourself on my side, to be the sole ruler of Greece.” But he wrote in reply, “If you had any knowledge of the noble things of life [τὰ καλλὰ τοῦ βίου], you would refrain from coveting others’ possessions; but for me to die for Greece is better than to be the sole ruler over the people of my race.”

11.
When Xerxes wrote again, “Hand over your arms,” he wrote in reply, “Come and take them [μολὼν λάβε].”

13.
He bade his soldiers eat their breakfast as if they were to eat their dinner in the other world [Τοῖς δὲ στρατιώταις παρήγγειλεν ἀριστοποιεῖσθαι ὡς ἐν Ἅιδου δειπνοποιησομένους].

[Plutarch: Moralia III. Ed. by Frank Cole Babbitt. Cambridge (Mass.)/London 72004, pp. 346-351]

Nr. 8.
Als ob Churchill es gelesen hätte:
Never was so much owed by so many to so few.
