Public Service Annoucnement "Then we will fight in the shade"

[jack]

Public service announcement:

* Whether you like the line or not, "Then we will fight in the shade!" was not made up by Zack Snyder.
* Nor was it made up by Frank Miller.
* It could have been made up by Herodotus. (According to wikipedia, according to Herodotus, according to rumour, Dienekes said it.)

There's not really anything *to* go over your head. You know the quote. You can deduce it was in 300. You can deduce that was directed by Zack, and based on a comic book by Miller. You know that it was an old quote, and can deduce from my post someone accused it of being recent.

And then I ironically point out that even if someone recent didn't make it up, we can't know for sure if Herodotus was right, he probably wasn't actually *there*, so for all we know someone made it up between the battle and the histories.
