Ephor 1
Background
Ephor 1 is an inbred priest to the old gods in Sparta, Greece.
During the events of 300 (2006) played by Greg Kramer
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 3,4 and 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. She 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.
