Which character in "300" said...

So you think you are a fan of "300." Let's see how well you know it. Match the following lines with the characters that spoke them. Can you get them all right?

  1. Your gods were cruel to shape you so, Ephialtes. But I am kind.

  2. [To Gorgo] It would take more than the words of a drunken adolescent girl to rob me of my desire for you.

  3. Embrace me as your king and as your god.

  4. We march. For our lands, for our families, for our freedoms, we march.

  5. The Immortals. They failed our king's test, and a man who fancies himself a god feels a very human chill crawl up his spine.

  6. Either your glorious towns will be taken by the sons of Persia, or all Laconians

  7. Come back with your shield … or on it. [Last words to her husband, Leonidas, before he and the 300 march off to the Hot Gates, reference to the Spartan saying "Εί τάν εί επί τάς" (Doric Greek: "Either it or on it") in reference to the shield]

  8. They have served the dark will of Persian kings for five hundred years. Eyes as dark as night, teeth filed to fangs. Soulless. The personal guard to King Xerxes himself. The Persian warrior elite. The deadliest fighting force in all of Asia: the Immortals.

  9. Councilmen, I stand before you not only as your queen. I come to you as a mother. I come to you as a wife. I come to you as a Spartan woman. I come to you with great humility. I am not here to represent Leonidas â€" his actions speak louder than my words ever could. I am here for all those voices which cannot be heard: mothers, daughters, fathers, sons â€" three hundred families that bleed for our rights, and for the very principles this room was built upon. We are at war, gentlemen. We must send the entire Spartan army to aid our king in the preservation of not just ourselves, but of our children. Send the army for the preservation of liberty. Send it for justice. Send it for law and order. Send it for reason. But most importantly, send our army for hope â€" hope that a king and his men have not been wasted to the pages of history â€" that their courage bonds us together, that we are made stronger by their actions, and that your choices today reflect their bravery.

  10. The old ones say we Spartans are descended from Hercules himself. Bold Leonidas gives testament to our bloodline. His roar is long and loud …

  11. Spartans! Ready your breakfast and eat hearty, for tonight, we dine in hell!

  12. Madness? This is Sparta!!! [kicks the Persian messenger into a well]
