Molon Labe web site

[RTFM]

Anyone know who runs/owns this site?
I'm looking for a window sticker for my truck, found this site, but it has no contact info.

http://www.molonlabe.com/forsale.htm

Or, does anyone have another web site that sells these?
Thanks.

RTFM

Doug is affiliated with Cavalry Arms, though I heard he's not doing much with them lately. E-mail the Cav guys and see if they can get in touch with him.

While we are on the subject, I have seen those two magic words on many a forum, but have never figured out what they mean. For give my ignorance, but what do they mean?

Molon Labe

(mo-lone lah-veh)


Two little words. With these two words, two concepts were verbalized that have lived for nearly two and a half Millennia. They signify and characterize both the heart of the Warrior, and the indomitable spirit of mankind.

In 480 B.C. the forces of the Persian Empire under King Xerxes, numbering, according to Herodotus, two million men, bridged the Hellespont and marched in their myriads to invade and enslave Greece.

King Leonidas of Sparta and another Greek city-state agreed to help stop the invading Persians, and marched with 300 hand-picked troops to Thermopylae on the north coast of Greece. Thermopylae was the best of three possible defensive areas in which Xerxes' invading army had to advance. This mountain gap along the coast was about 60 feet wide, and was the best location for a blocking action. The confines between mountains and sea were so narrow that the Persian multitudes and their cavalry would be at least partially neutralized. Since the 300 knew they were going to die fighting against overwhelming force the first requirement was that each man had to have a son left behind.

When Leonidas was preparing to make his stand, a Persian envoy arrived. The envoy explained to Leonidas the futility of trying to resist the advance of the huge Persian army and demanded that the Spartans lay down their arms. Leonidas told Xerxes "MOLON LABE", or "Come And Get Them."

"Our archers are so numerous," said the envoy, "that the flight of their arrows darkens the sun."

"So much the better," replied Dienekes, a Spartan warrior, "for we shall fight them in the shade."

After days of fighting and having killed countless numbers of Xerxes' elite troops, they were finally overrun after being betrayed by a traitor who showed the enemy another pass behind the defenders. King Leonidas, his Spartans and their Thespian allies died to the last man. Xerxes marched on and destroyed Athens. The standard of valor set by this sacrifice inspired the Greeks to rally and, in that fall and spring, defeat the Persians at Salamis and Plataea and preserve the beginnings of Western democracy and freedom from perishing in the cradle.

Two memorials remain today at Thermopylae. Upon the modern one, called the Leonidas Monument in honor of the Spartan king who fell there, is engraved his response to Xerxes' demand that the Spartans lay down their arms. Leonidas' reply was two words:

Molon labe

" 'Come and get them.' "

The second monument is a plaque dedicated to those heroes at the site. It reads: "Go tell the Spartans, travelers passing by, that here, obedient to their laws we lie." The point of this true story is when anybody demands you to give up your guns, tell them "MOLON LABE". You may fall in the first fight, but many more will step into your place and a determined and organized people can do anything.

Molon Labe! (mo-lone lah-veh)

They mean, “Come and get them!†They live on today as the most notable quote in military history. And so began the classic example of courage and valor in its dismissal of overwhelming superiority of numbers, wherein the heart and spirit of brave men overcame insuperable odds.

We have adopted this defiant utterance as a battle cry in our war against oppression because it says so clearly and simply towards those who would take our arms.

It signifies our determination to not strike the first blow, but also to not stand mute and allow our loved ones, and all that we believe in and stand for, to be trampled by men who would deprive us of our God-given – or natural, if you will – rights to suit their own ends.

I emailed that guy a while back about having one made with the omicron in the right spot, and he said he could after his vacation IIRC, but never got back to me...
I.e. this spelling:

Which is from the modern statue at Thermopylae:
Leonidas statue at Thermopylae


Edit: I mean the truck sticker guy. Life, Liberty, Etc has it right.

 

[T.Stahl]

Yes, isn't the spelling in the picture in the first post wrong?
The spelling on the caps I got from Correia has an Omikron and an Omega instead of two Omegas.

 

[BluesBear]

Yeah the bumper sticker pictured above is spelled incorrectly.
