Movie Poster Inspiration: 300: Rise of an Empire

written by Houke de Kwant on December 22, 2013

After its victory over Leonidas’ 300, the Persian Army under the command of Xerxes marches south towards the major Greek city-states. The Democratic city of Athens, first on the path of Xerxes’ army, bases its strength on its fleet, led by admiral Themistocles. Themistocles is forced to an unwilling alliance with the traditional rival of Athens, oligarchic Sparta whose might lies with its superior infantry troops. But Xerxes still reigns supreme in numbers over sea and land.

That is, in short, the story of 300: Rise of an Empire, a movie I am really looking forward to see and of which you can see the posters below. Enjoy!
