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.)

I apologise for saying it was obvious. I just reread this post, and had no idea what I was talking about until I read my explanation :)

Yes you did. You could tell that you might assume the line was modern, but it wasn't.

Yes, but now I read it, I see the point is that someone thought it was fake and a silly Hollywood bravado insert quote, whereas in fact it was a bravado original quote. I wish I could remember exactly what someone had said and where though; I must have seen several references to post this.

I can't remember where, sorry.
