King Leonidas (muscular, bearded, wearing a red cape over his bronze armor, holding his Dory spear) stands proudly in the center. Around him are his 300 Spartans and 700 Thespians, resolute. In the background, other Greek allied forces are visibly retreating in disarray. Lighting: Heroic, strong backlight silhouetting the retreating troops. Style: Leadership, Sacrifice. No 3D, No CGI.
