Molon Labe (Μολὼν λαβέ)

Translated as “Come and take [them],” these legendary words are attributed to King Leonidas of Sparta at the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC, when he refused to surrender his weapons to the Persian army. Today, Molon Labe stands as a powerful symbol of courage in the face of adversity, representing the spirit of standing firm, defending what matters, and never yielding under pressure.
