Dilios explains how a Spartan Baby A is inspected by Spartan Baby Inspector to see if the child has any defects, in which case he would be discarded. As Leonidas @7/8 grew he would learn to fight with a sword by Leonidas' Father as Leonidas' Mother watched. He was taught that death on the battlefield for Sparta was the greatest glory. At age 7, Leonidas was take away and taught how to fight by being pitted against other Spartan Boys at the agoge. As he grew older he was taught show no pain lash and by Spartan with Stick. His final test was to be thrown into the wild and forced to fend for himself. If survived, then he was accepted as a Spartan. Leonidas manages to do this by luring a wolf into close quarters in the cleft of a cliff. Leonidas returns and is and eventually becomes the king of Sparta. Dilios continues the tale of how a new beast is looking for a feast, but this one made of men.

Messenger (300)|Messenger rides with a group of Persians to Sparta. When he arrives he pulls a handful of crowned skulls from his saddlebag and shows them to the Spartans nearby. Captain (300)|Captain walks into the palace as Gorgo watches Leonidas training Pleistarchos. Before leaving to speak to the Messenger, Leonidas tells Pleistarchos that the true strength of a Spartan is the warrior next to him. Theron and the Messenger walk to the palace along with the Messenger's Persian bodyguards. Theron introduces the Messenger and before the Messenger speaks, Leonidas warns him that everyone, even a king's messenger is held accountable for what they say. The Messenger tells Leonidas about the greatness of Xerxes and his armies and that all that he requires from Leonidas is earth and water as a token of Sparta's submission to Xerxes. Leonidas tells the Messenger that if the philosopher Athenian's have already rejected Xerxes demands, then due to their reputation, the Spartans must also. The Messenger stops Leonidas and warns him to choose his words carefully as they might be his last as king and Leonidas looks around and glazes at Mother at Market, Daughter at Market (3/5 Years Old), Boy 1 at Market, Gorgo. He pulls out his sword, and after the Messenger tells him what Leonidas is doing is madness, Leonidas yells that "this is Sparta" and kicks the Messenger in a well, followed by his Persian bodyguards.

Leonidas climbs a cliff to speak with the Ephors. Ephor 1 welcomes Leonidas and tells him they expected him. Leonidas tells Ephor 1, Ephor 2, Ephor 3, Ephor 4 and Ephor 5 about the invading Persian army and Ephor 2 demands to see what bribe Leonidas has brought. Leonidas tell them he wishes to go to war with the Persians and Ephor 1 and Ephor 2 reminds Leonidas that the Carneia will start soon. Leonidas yells that the Spartan people will be made slaves if the Persians are allowed to attack and he tells them his plan to funnel the Persians into a pass called the Hot Gates. Ephor 1 tells Leonidas they must consult the Oracle Girl. The Oracle Girl dances and then collapses. The Oracle Girl whispers and Ephor 1 tells Leonidas that Sparta will will fall if they go to war and he must honor the Carneia. After Leonidas leaves, Theron and a Persian walk out of the shadows and give the Ephors a large sack of coins and the Persian tells the Ephors that when Sparta falls, they shall be given even more gold and new oracles delivered to them daily. During the night, Leonidas tells Gorgo that he worries that the Oracle Girl's word will cause him to lose everything and Gorgo assures him he should do what any free man would do. The next day, Leonidas walks out of the gates of Sparta and meets up with Captain and a group of 300 Spartans who all have had sons to continue their name. Leonidas inspects the men, including Dilios and Stelios yells that they are all with Leonidas, Sparta and freedom. Leonidas sees Astinos in the group and Leonidas tells Captain that Astinos is too young, but Captain tells Leonidas, he has other sons to replace Astinos. Theron walks up along with Elder Councilman and Councilman and Elder Councilman and Councilman tell Leonidas that the Oracle Girl has spoken and they shall not march into battle. Theron reminds Leonidas that the Oracle Girl's word is the law and
