Here's the Battle of Thermopylae, re-enacted by the Ding Players. The battle is shown in 1:100 scale, so as to fit the size of the cartoon panels. Numbers shown are scaled down to one percent of the historical figures, and both the complexity and the accuracy of events are reduced to 1:100 scale.

Oh, rats! I'm so bad with math! Yeah, I meant 24.87 years ago, thank you.

No, my mind's just too slow to have come up with that. Brilliant idea, though.

| You wrote "All the Spartans and Thebans died". Don't you mean "All the Spartans and Thespians died?" I mean, the Thebams desertrd to the Persians, no? (I can't tell a Theban from a Thespian, so it probably doesn't matter.) |

You are absolutely right. My error. I'll fix that at once, thank you.
