51.2 His wife Gorgo inquired, at the time when he was setting forth to Thermopylae to fight the Persian, if he had any instructions to give her, and he said, To marry good men and bear good children. Cf. Moralia, 240 E (6), infra, and 866 B.

51.3 When the Ephors said that he was taking but few men to Thermopylae, he said, Too many for the enterprise on which we are going. Ibid. Cf. also 225 B (8 and 9), infra, and 866 B.

51.4 And when again they said, Hae ye decided to dae aught else save to keep the barbarians from gettin’ by? Nominally that, he said, but actually expecting to die for the Greeks.

51.5 When he had arrived at Thermopylae, he said to his comrades in arms, They say that the barbarian has come near and is comin’ on while we are wastin’ time. Truth, soon we shall either kill the barbarians, or else we are bound to be killed oursel’s.

51.6 When someone said, Because of the arrows of the barbarians it is impossible to see the sun, he said, Won’t it be nice, then, if we shall have shade in which to fight them? The remark is attributed to Dieneces by Herodotus, vii. 226. Cf. Stobaeus, Florilegium, vii. 46; Valerius Maximus, iii. 7, ext. 8; Cicero, Tusculan Disputations, i. 42 (101).

51.7 When someone else said, They are near to us, he said, Then we also are near to them. Cf. Moralia, 194 D, supra, and 234 B.

51.8 When someone said, Leonidas, are you here to take such a hazardous risk with so few men against so many? he said, If you men think that I rely on numbers, then all Greece is not sufficient, for it is but a small fraction of their numbers; but if on men’s valour, then this number will do.

51.9 When another man remarked the same thing he said, In truth I am taking many if they are all to be slain. Cf. Moralia, 225 A (3), supra, and 866 B.
