Dilios, a hoplite in the Spartan army, narrates the story of a Spartan king named Leonidas I from childhood to kingship through the Spartan child-rearing system and the Battle of Thermopylae.

Visiting the Ephors, Leonidas proposes repelling the Persians through Thermopylae by funneling them into a narrow pass, allowing the Greeks' heavy infantry to defeat the numerically superior Persian light infantry.

The Spartans then scout out a large Persian encampment and construct a wall using the bodies of slain Persian scouts as mortar.
