Dienekes or Dieneces (Greek: Διηνέκης, died 480 BC) was a Spartan soldier present at the Battle of Thermopylae. He was acclaimed the bravest of all the three hundred Spartiates selected to fight in that battle. Herodotusrelated the following anecdote about Dienekes:"Although extraordinary valor was displayed by the entire corps of Spartans and Thespians, yet bravest of all was declared the Spartan Dienekes. It is said that on the eve of battle, he was told by a native of Trachisthat the Persian archers were so numerous that, their arrows would block out the sun. Dienekes, however, undaunted by this prospect, remarked with a laugh, 'Good. Then we will fight in the shade.'" - Histories, 7.226Dienekes is one of the main characters in Steven Pressfield's novel Gates of Fire. He does not appear in the 1962 film The 300 Spartans; his famous line is delivered instead by King Leonidas himself in reply to a threat from the Persian general Hydarnes (the same scene also includes Leonidas' famous phrase, Molōn labe). He also does not appear in Frank Miller's graphic novel 300 or the film based on it; his famous quip is delivered instead by the fictional character Stelios. Moreover, Stelios makes the remark in response to a Persian taunt, not the statement of a fellow Greek.
In his honor, the street on the left of the empty tomb (κενοτάφιο) of King Leonidas I in Sparta is named after him.

King Leonidas showed no mercy to the Persians, as it should be.

The real battle:

The real number was 300 Spartans + a few thousand other Greeks.

G'nite sports fans!

General Brick Top, why don't you visit the castle at TF.com as well? We are all having fun over there as well! The more, the merrier.

Clay Death · « **Reply #1477 on:** December 07, 2012, 08:01:35 PM »

great idea generalito.

general brick top it will be fun to see you there.

you just minimize this site and then pull up the other site. we are usually at both places at once.

except i am usually at 3-4 places at once. right now i am on the jets facebook page and my own facebook page.

and i am here and at TF. all at the same time.

its a good way to relax and also expand your horizons. more of a chance of meeting more people this way.

of course its slow everywhere at this time but it should be picking up right after x-mas.
