Τ Η Ε R M O P I L A E BY KAVAFIS


Honor to those who in their lives
Swore to guard Thermopiles.
Never motivated by greed or selfishness.
Just and fair in all their actions,
with mercy and empathy as well.
Brave in their state of wealth ,
Brave in their time of poverty too,
partaking as much as possible.
With honesty in their hearts,
And no hatred towards the deceivers.
More so revere those who
With Ephialtes`betrayal in mind
Still fought with valor and glory,
Till the Persians`inevitable victory.
