Leonidas, the legendary king of Sparta, is famously quoted as saying some inspiring and defiant phrases in ancient Greek. Here are a few:
1. "Μολὼν λαβέ" (Molon labe) - This phrase, often translated to "Come and take them!", is one of the most famous quotes attributed to Leonidas. It's said he uttered this when the Persians offered him wealth and power if he would surrender.
Original Greek: Μολὼν λαβέ
2. "Ἀλλὰ καὶ σὺ, Πέρσης, φρενὸς ἔχῃς" (Alla kai su, Pérsey, phrenòs echeis) - This quote is often translated to "You too, Persian, have a share of courage!" It's said Leonidas shouted this when the Persians asked him to surrender.

It's worth noting that while these quotes are attributed to Leonidas, some historians and scholars question their authenticity. The ancient sources we have today are often fragmented and biased, making it difficult to verify the accuracy of specific quotes.
Still, the spirit of defiance and patriotism embodied in these phrases is undeniable, and they continue to inspire people around the world to this day!
