So well do I love you, I go to my god singing your praises. When I meet my father, I will tell him I fought beside you.

For me, myth is the 'common' language of us all.

I want to live like a man.

Ask yourselves if the gods are angry, you who have seen Harmony come among us, walk among us, touch us, look kindly upon us. We are the Sacred Band of Thebes. We fight in the forefront, therefore we bleed first. We live, therefore we die.

Honorable battle sustains a Sacred Band.

Fury from the heavens; fury at the gods - inseparable.

It is upon each soul to recognize its limit.
