I am not sure about Xerxes, but his father's name (Darius) is mentioned in the bible. For some info on Xerxes visit : http://www.herodotuswebsite.co.uk/xerxes.htm

Plato also gives an account of Xerxes, who is defeated by Themistocles in the Battle of Salamis

@ Lancy interesting to note that History interests you too and not just contemporary works :)

@Ajay, what a movie man!! Superb..!! Since i am an action movie fan, i luved it..! cant say the same abt my friends..couple of them couldnt even watch the whole thing. But truly excellent cinematography! :)
Ajay have u seen Departed??? If ur expecting fast paced, thrill with a bit of frill..n a gud storyline, u gotta catch martin scorcese's classic..!!

@MAD Besides History, Geography and the Arts. We have to develop the Left and the Right Brain

@Lancy, they mention Darius in the movie, because it was Darius who actually started expanding his kingdom. Xerses carried on his father's work.

@Thilak, so have you watched it yet?

@MAD, Well, you can always watch the movie and give me your inputs :P

@Luna, I watched Departed long back... I still can't believe it's the same Leo who acted in Titanic!

@hthth, thank you... and I guess MAD will be happy with this feedback.

Long list!

I got about half the movies on that list to watch.

Watched it - was a great flick. Went with my Dad and a buddy... great visual movie. A bit shallow on plot depth & character development, but that is just one man's opinion. Otherwise - the visuals were stunning!

Luna · 2 years ago

@ajay..!! for me, half the list is pending..

Ajay · 2 years ago

Aren't you saying the same thing I said Luna?

Luna · 2 years ago

The movie is yet to come out here in Germany but if any of you are interested in a good read about the subject I suggest you take a look at the excellent book called Gates of Fire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gates_of_Fire)

Ajay · 2 years ago

Nice suggestion Martin, now all we got to do is get our hands on it...

My sister says it's great. But in Malaysia, they rated this movie as 18PL, and as I'm only 16, I can't go for it. Is it only Malaysia rate it as 18PL?

Ajay · 2 years ago

I'm not sure what the rating was out here. Haven't bothered looking at them for a long long time ;)

It's given me a great idea for a Halloween costume:

Speedos, a cape, and scream, "FOR SPARTA!!!"
