A Persian king stands in the ruins of Athens A Spartan king lies dead at Thermopylae Xerxes has come

In their home waters, Athenians will face a vast fleet. On sacred land, a Persian host waits for them to move.

Outnumbered, outmatched, the Greeks must stand side by side to have any hope at all. For the Spartans, it is a chance to show who they truly are. For the Athenians, it is about surviving the storm.
