(at around 1h 45 mins) The couplet narrated by Dilios when Leonidas and his men are shown dead ("Go tell the Spartans, passerby, that here by Spartan law, we lie") is a translation of the epigram, usually attributed to Simonides, that ancient scribes recorded was carved on a monument at the site of the final skirmish. The original monument is long lost, but a plaque was erected at the modern site in 1955 with the epitaph.
