Description:
Stripped of its helmet, Leonidas' head is framed
by his long hair. The lean skin of the warrior's
face, its color gone, stands out all the more
against a short and pointed beard. The dirt of
battle is probably still upon Leonidas, and there
is a dark purple bruise on his chin from the pooling
of what little blood is left. Ragged bits of tissue
and bone hang from his severed neck, and flies
and beetles have landed on his skin. If the dead
Spartan king's eyes could see, they might look
140 miles to the south -- all the way to Athens,
the road to which now lies open for Persia.
