"We have decided that we will not join the army, " Leonidas announced. "We have seen enough of this war. We are going back to the coast. " " I don't know about that, " the captain said, scratching his head. " We are not enrolled, " Leonidas reminded him. " That is true, " said the honest fellow, "but you have been in the camp. " " Well, we are not going back, " the Spartan said delib- erately. " Are you going to try to force us ? There are thirteen of you and only three of us, but if you want a... fight, you can have it. We don't intend to risk our lives for such leaders as Arsites. Which shall it be shall we go, or shall we fight for it ? " " Let them go, " interposed one of the soldiers who had drawn near to learn what the controversy was about. "They saved us yesterday. I have half a mind to go with them myself. I would if I had my pay. " " Yes, let them go, if they wish, " others chimed in. "They are not enrolled. " "Farewell, " Leonidas said, sheathing his sword and extending his hand to the captain.
