March 26 SPARTANS 300, 狭路相逢勇者胜
In the Battle of Thermopylae of 480 BC, an alliance of Greek city-states fought the invading Persian Empire at the pass of Thermopylae in central Greece. Vastly outnumbered, the Greeks held back the Persians for three days in one of history's most famous last stands. A small force led by King Leonidas of Sparta blocked the only road through which the massive army of Xerxes I could pass. After three days of battle, a local resident named Ephialtes betrayed the Greeks by revealing a mountain path that led behind the Greek lines. Dismissing the rest of the army, King Leonidas stayed behind with 300 Spartans and 700 Thespian volunteers. The Persians succeeded in taking the pass but sustained heavy losses, extremely disproportionate to those of the Greeks. The fierce resistance of the Spartan-led army offered Athens the invaluable time to prepare for a decisive naval battle that would come to determine the outcome of the war.The subsequent Greek victory at the Battle of Salamis left much of the Persian Empire's navy destroyed and Xerxes I was forced to retreat back to Asia, leaving his army in Greece under Mardonius, who was to meet the Greeks in battle one last time. The Spartans assembled at full strength and led a pan-Greek army that defeated the Persians decisively at the Battle of Plataea, ending the Greco-Persian War and with it the expansion of the Persian Empire into Europe. The performance of the defenders at the battle of Thermopylae is often used as an example of the advantages of training, equipment, and good use of terrain to maximize an army's potential, and has become a symbol of courage against overwhelming odds. 塞莫皮莱之战的背景就是这样的了,有兴趣的比如我自己,可以仔细的看一看啊. 电影<THE SPARTANS 300>是这样描绘这场战争的. 第一天的战事,波斯王薛西斯不可一世,派了几千步兵,打算冲垮斯巴达人的防线,结果被斯巴达勇士一场漂亮的防御战彻底击溃。随即是波斯骑兵战团,弯刀快马,可惜在狭窄的栈道里全部成了肉靶。当夜,波斯王大怒,谴出特种部队,忍者打扮的怪物军团(汗啊,确实是忍者,确实是怪物,参照指环王…)双方硬碰硬,斯巴达又是完胜,没辙,路太窄,几千人的人者军团冲过来,只能几十几十的往上送…. 在史书上这样描述塞莫皮莱(Thermopylae):希腊东部一多岩石平原,古时曾是一山口,更有创意的译法是温泉关. 今天以波斯后裔为主体的伊朗和伊拉克,混的那叫一个惨哪,打到家门都无还手之力,看看他们的祖先,千帆万舰征雅典,何等壮观!

March 12 流 (三)真诚的逻辑 从当下的一点出发,到达有限的远处,再回到出发的原点,通常被示为一个完整的“流”。 譬如生活,从虚无开始延续,越过最好的那段时光再垂垂老去,最终归于虚无;譬如人心道德,从“真、善”起始,经历现世的“虚、伪”,到达理想国的“诚,强”。都是完美的“流”且不能被人所驱动。在生命之河中,人只是一粒粒的沙,能做的就是随着命理的流动,滚滚东入海了。海水蒸发形成天上的云,云飘摇西去,被高山所挡积成了雨,雨落人间,汇成了河,河殇河殇,再复流去。 试想,你是尘,被山风吹的到处都是,亦或于山上远望东逝的河;或者,你是一柳河泥留在水底不曾移动,看着河沙被动的流走。静止的气氛中,充斥的可是永亡? 在这场可以周全的流动中,人留下的惟有外力不能带走的光芒中那一点真诚。 March 05 白袍 (四)
