"Let's go." "Hurry." "Come." "This way." "Hurry." "Sound the alarm." "Extraordinary spectacle. uncle." "Fit 101 an Oriental court." "Amuse you." "Dario?" "Spectacles always amuse me." "You like my island oi Rhodes?" "Even more than your native Greece?" "After the fatigue of war, I knew you'd like a short stay on the island of peace." "And this perfume." "What is it, uncle?" "Roses. my son." "Rhodes is also the island of flowers." "And beautiful women, from what I can see." "In Rhodes. even the women have a special fragrance." "A mixture made out oi sunshine petals oi flowers. the sea" "And ?" "esh." "At my age, that's a superfluous ingredient, Dario" "You have designed and built one oi the greatest monuments oi all time." "Carete." "You." "Carete. have made it possible tor posterity to learn of the strength and power oi King Serse." "Rhodes now dominates the seas." "Perhaps our ceremony is not to the liking oi the gods." "The monument surely seems to be a threat to their omnipotence." "I assure you both. it's not true." "I know the gods could only be delighted that a monument so imposing was built in their honor." "It is a proud day 101 the king oi Rhodes." "For you." "Apollo. god oi the sun we humbly dedicate this magnificent statue conceived and born from the divine mind oi our king and gloriously realized by the quiet labor of his loyal subjects." "May the sacred file bum always on this altar in the sky and guide those who sail in the night." "And may it strike tenor and awe in the hearts oi those who would plot against Rhodes." "Burn, oh, fire" "May your ?" "ame be as eternal as the glory oi King Serse." "Very relaxing. your island oi peace." "H only he had talked to us about it." "What could he have hoped to do all alone?" "Pool Rianos." "What a great waste." "No." "Mine." "Our fight is more important now because oi Rianos." "The people in Rhodes do not want slavery." "This Colossus was elected in blood." "They worked and labored on it 10110 years because oi the whim oi a ruler." "Our brothel hoped he could inspire a rebellion." "That's not enough." "Our people need supplies and arms." "Not only inspiration." "The Greeks." "They'd help us." "They'd be happy to aid our cause." "They don't even know our cause exists." "There's no help from them." "H only we could talk to someone who might persuade the Greeks to aid us a man the Greeks respect." "a man like that visitor." "Dario." "He's a great warrior in Greece." "I wonder ii we dale approach him?" "Brothels. ii you like." "I will go to Dario." "No." "Mathos." "We could not appeal at court." "All four of us are too well known as opponents of the regime." "I'm sorry." "Mathos." "Always fiddling with toys." "This might not be a toy at all." "Thar the splendor oi our court is pleasing." "don't you think to the ambassador oi Phoenicia?" "He seems to be enjoying it." "However. sire. your great wealth could propagate ill will. envy." "And you envy me?" "I only admire." "My profound loyalty to you only permits me one emotion, that of great admiration." "There's no doubt that you people know how to amuse yourselves." "I think my mother was right when she said this island was a wonderful place." "Your mother knows Rhodes?" "She was born here." "Diala." "It's surprising when a stranger admires the island as you do." "Oh, I'm only half a stranger" "I already know quite a few people here" "Take that man over there. 101 instance." "He's been staring at me ever since the celebration began." "There's so little opportunity to stale at great heroes here." "Nectar oi the Euphrates." "An offering from your humble palace servant" "I think you ought to reward these people." "Let us allow him the first drink in gratitude tor such devotion." "My boy you drink it." "Drink or you'll be beheaded." "Somehow I've lost my desire 101 wine." "No need to do without wine." "Dario." "Just never be the first one to drink." "Have the assassin taken away." "You seem to know Rhodes well." "Tell me something." "Is this a celebration or a massacre?" "It's not our affair." "I'm not concerned" "Well." "I think we ought to watch out." "You must be used to death." "The second in one day is too many in time oi peace." "I think." "I want to forget it" "Shall we go outside?" "Noble sir when may I speak to you?" "I'm quite busy. light now." "Tomorrow. ii you wish." "It's beautiful" "A marvelous garden." "01 course. the enchantment oi nature is always enhanced by the presence of a lovely lady." "Now you sound like a poet." "I shall have to be quite careful" "No more so than you are now." "You avoid my eye." "There." "What. you mean you haven't already succumbed to my look?" "Do all girls find you so irresistible?" "Not all of them, but some of them I commit the same error." "What?" "Well. with some I waste too much time." "Diala." "Diala?" "Diala." "The whole dynasty is here." "Diala?" "Dario." ""Emone."" ""Cleo."" "" Nestore."" ""Gerione."" "No name here." ""Artidolous."" " "Filomena--"" " Dario." "Pardon me." "Was that you?" "Have you forgotten me already?" "Well." "I followed you here." "Isn't that enough?" "Perhaps you need more proof of my ardor." "Why did you bring me here?" "To be alone with you." "To speak." "I command you to say something beautiful" "Being so close to you." "I've lost my voice even my breath." "Then you shouldn't stay here." "Your cheek is ?" "esh as the morning dew." "Your ear. a ?" "ower about to bud." "And my lips?" "Your lips" "Diala." "I'm sure you'll find some good company in there." "Good company indeed." "The proposal as it is offered does appeal to me." "As the ambassador states." "Rhodes and Phoenicia would control the sea." "But will not Greece protest an alliance between us and their enemy." "Phoenicia?" "Yes. naturally." "And we have always been a friend to Greece." "I think I should consider Rhodes before I think oi Greece." "The Colossus in our harbor makes us the strongest port in the Mediterranean tor the reason that it provides an impregnable harbor for our ships and the ships of our friends ...beginning naturally with Phoenicia." "Imagine the surprise oi the Greeks when their ships are plundered by the Phoenicians... who then take refuge in Rhodes" "What makes you think the Greeks don't already suspect us?" "Please." "I was hoping this doorway would reveal the secrets of this labyrinth." "Can you explain how you got into ii." "Dario?" "Got in?" "Well. more exactly." "I tell in." "I was standing." "leaning against the wall." "Suddenly. the wall turned around." "And there I was on the other side oi the wall." "Well. that is." "I was on this side." "I was chasing a gill." "I play your pursuit be continued." "Dario." "Thank you." "Thank you." "I hope you'll accept my" "MY apologies." "Thar. do you think that young Greek meant to spy on us?" "It's likely." "However, no need to be alarmed." "I have foreseen something like this" "So much tension on Rhodes I thought it wise to older that no one be allowed to leave the island." "Especially a soldier of Greece." " Now. shall we proceed?" " Yes. by all means." "Proceed." "Your island from this point on to the other side is impregnable" "The only spot accessible is your harbor." "Our Phoenician ships, loaded with Greek booty, will take refuge there" "The Colossus pours out molten lead on those who might pursue us here." "Your island. in its enviable position in the middle oi the sea is more precious than gold." "We Phoenicians are happy to split the booty in half." "Do you mean that?" "Good counsel." "Xenon." "In older to accept." "I must make this one condition." "The port is open to no more than three Phoenician ships at one time." "And no more than 200 men are to enter." "We would not want the Mediterranean powers to misinterpret the intentions of this pact." "They must not think we are ruled by Phoenicia." "I accept." "May this project benefit both you ...and my king." "Thiel." " Well. did you speak to Dario?" " No." "He was too concerned with a woman tonight." "I'll try again." " I'll try again in the morning." " No." "We must see him tonight." "We'll get to him somehow." "Thiel." "Now you must go." "You've risked enough already." "But" "Go." "Hurry." "Carete and his daughter are Greeks." "aren't they?" "No." "He and Diala are from Lydia." "I thought only a Greek mind could have created such a beautiful work of art." "Oh. you mean the Colossus?" "These awful storms" "I've lived on this island all my life" "You'd think I would have got used to them by now." "Are you afraid of thunder?" "My deal nephew. you don't know what a storm on this island can mean." "It can bring havoc from one moment to the next." "Here or at the center oi the sea." "Rhodes is at the mercy oi the elements." "my boy." "I've always found the best remedy 101 thunder is to sleep." "I suppose you're light." "Well. thanks to my architect." "my loom is better protected than most." "Up you go." "Blasted thunder." "As you say. sleep is indeed the remedy." "However. there are times when sleep must be helped along." "Now the end oi the world could come and I wouldn't even heal it." "I imagine soldiering is not a simple job, especially when you play the hero all day" "I don't play the hero." "In fact, talking about this thunder ...I owe a debt of gratitude to lightning." "It was at the battle oi Ipsies where I surprised Calemathos." "Just because he'd been stunned by a bolt of lightning that had struck nearby." "I shall never forget the look on his face when, with one arm, I squeezed his" " Oh" "All right, let's go." "Right now" "Who are you?" "What do you want?" "We must speak to you." "It's extremely important." "Well. talk then." "No. not here." " We have no wish to harm you." "Dario." " Come with us." "You have no choice." "Come on." "We never meant to fight you, but you forced us to fight." "It looks like we'll have to carry him back with us." "Quickly. there's no time to lose." "Someone must have seen us." "Now. let's go." "Come." "Dario." "Dario." "Dario." "What happened?" "So Rhodes is the island oi peace?" "Well, I prefer war" "Excuse me." "Who are they?" "They're Macedonian slaves, furnished to us by the Phoenicians" "King Serse probably needs the poor devils as laborers to build more monuments to his pride." "That him?" "I'm looking 101 passage to Athens." "Under orders oi the king." "no one may sail from Rhodes." "But I have to get back home." "No sailings are allowed unless properly authorized." "What ii one were willing to pay double the price?" "I don't think you heard me." "No one sails." "Thank you." " Let's go." " You stay here." " No." "I should go." " I must approach Dario alone." "A woman averts suspicion" "Gather around, my dear friends of Rhodes You are bidden to stop." "I have in my possession the most excellent gift the rarest oi jewels." "The sacred birds from the temples oi Persia." "Bird. you see. now is as precious." "my friends. as a pearl or a ruby." "It has a beak that is as hard as the best iron." "Yet it is gentle as a lamb faithful as a dog." "Since your humble servant has already trained these magnificent birds tor you they will act as guardians in your home." "Evil spirits. nay. even might..." "Ale you looking 101 someone?" "I see I wasn't too subtle." "Well, in fact I was following you" "Now what should we do?" "I can grant your most secret desire." "Which one?" "I know you wish to arrange passage from Rhodes." "I saw you at the pier attempting to obtain this passage." "I know men who own a good vessel." "And the price?" "Taking a small risk." "You'll go?" "I'd lather not risk ii possible." "I can get help through the court." "I'm a stranger here." "Let us hope." "H you find you're wasting your time go to the pier and look 101 a torch." "A man will be there as your guide." "Good day." " And good luck." " One moment." "Now I must go." "H you succeed in developing this new weapon oi yours we shall be invincible." "No one is ever that." "Our ancestors with their stone axes also believed they were invincible." "We are nothing but sand." "A good sized wave can still threaten to destroy us." "Our footprints are temporary" "The Colossus will stand." "Your genius will too." "Somehow I feel I've created nothing." " How" " Rhodes is certainly proud." "Especially Diala." "She's proud to call herself your daughter" "She's proud." "I'm sure." "Proud oi the money and honor she enjoys as a result oi my inventions." "What are you saying?" "When her mother had died I brought her to my house and took care oi her as ii she were mine." "I tried to the best oi my ability but I know I won't succeed even though you think I can accomplish anything in producing blood ties that do not exist." "Dario." "I play your youth and good spirits can dispel Carete's depression." "A little while ago." "I was prevented from leaving Rhodes." "Why?" "Well, I only thought I should further extend our hospitality to you." "Hospitality is not a prison." "At this time. it's impossible to grant you a permit to leave." "You shall have to stay in Rhodes." "Very well." "I'll do it my own way." "Dario." "The conquering hero honors us with a visit." "The visit is over." "And so is my interest in Rhodes." "Is it that your visit was too dull 101 you?" "I bole you?" "On the contrary." "My visit was brief but exciting" "It's awful that I love to play jokes on men" "I beg you to forgive it" "You don't think I'm leaving Rhodes because you forced me to explore the underground passages oi the palace. do you?" "No." "It's just that I'm anxious to breathe the all of my own country." "But" "But you can't leave the island." "So they say." "I have been waiting a long time 101 you." "Follow me." "This is the ship." "Go down." "Welcome." "Welcome aboard my ship." "Thank you." "When do we sail?" "Just as soon as I assemble my men, I'll cast off." "Who's there?" "Who are you?" "Just a woman." "Don't be afraid" "It must get lonesome here." "Who are you looking 101?" "A guard to keep me company tonight." "Just a moment." "Send them the signal." "Not too loud." " There it is. the second one." " Row." "Let's hope their soldiers sleep well." " You've spoken to Dario?" " No." "When we get out to sea." "I'll speak to him then." "Slow." "Pull in the oars." "Quickly." "Over the side." "Jump. men." "In you go." "Jump in." "Now." "Now I know why you were in a hurry to sail back to your homeland." "This document." "You wanted to deliver this document." " What is it?" " Don't tell me you've forgotten" "It's useless." "Dario." "to go on pretending." "Our enemies in Rhodes a small and vicious band bent on opposing the government... are looking for foreign aid to bolster their cause." "They hired you to bring these lies to Greece." "They'd like the Greeks to help them unleash a civil war on the island of Rhodes." "This treason shall not go unpunished." "I don't know what you're talking about." "I was only trying to get back to Athens." "The most astonishing slanders appeal in this document." "Dario." "It seems we're totally corrupt." "We're criminals." "It also states that we're plotting against Greece with Phoenicia." "What's mole. you." "Dario ale specifically named as their representative." "I hardly need more proof of your treachery." "And I tell you, I had nothing to do with this whole affair." "You know. your own accomplices may not agree with you." "You recognize your friends?" "You know who they ale?" "The sailors from the boat." "I think you could be a bit more specific." "Tell me you don't know who this is." "Surely you recognize him." "I don't know him." "He also. in his way." "is a man oi a nobility." "Peliocles." "Eldest brothel oi a family which dares pretend to the throne oi Rhodes." "This man is the leader oi traitors." "And it's apparent that you have joined his ranks." "The Athenian is innocent." "He has never seen any of us before He knows nothing." "I want to know only one thing." "You'll tell me gladly before I'm through with you." "Tell me where the lest oi your men are hiding." "You'll learn nothing." "The bell." "These vibrations, if continued would shatter his eardrums." "However, I don't want him deaf just yet" "Pull it up." "Amuse him. guard." "I command you to talk." " I'll get him to talk." " No. it's a waste oi time to try to get anything out oi these jackals." "See that they're all kept in chains." "while I go and prepare tor their execution." "Come ashore." "All light." "Move." "Move." "Another boatload oi slaves." "Serse must have great plans 101 Rhodes." "Something strange here." "Even Serse could not find use 101 so many slaves." " You go back." " You're planning to stay here?" "I'm going to follow those slaves." "Perhaps they'll be in whatever prison" " ...they're holding our brothers" " That's not likely." "We've tried everything else." "I've got to go." "I might even find Dario." "Just try to find our brothels." "Mathos." "All rise." "Warm greetings." "Sirione." "I hoped you would lead our soldiers from Phoenicia." "Sirione will take his orders from you." "He is the bravest oi our Phoenician officers." "An actor as well." "the way he winced under my whip as ii the pain were unbearable." "The pain was certainly real enough." "Mahor." "You must admit you were whipping me with all the strength you had." "Noble sire." "I would deem it the greatest of honors if you would order me to kill King Serse myself" "Your enthusiasm is commendable." "Sirione." "However. we must all be patient." "With your help. the throne oi Rhodes will soon be mine." "Let Serse take comfort while he can in the impregnability of his island." "Well. the conquerors oi his Colossus have arrived masquerading as slaves." "Only when the deed is done will it be the time to rejoice." "Here are your initial orders." "You will repair to your quarters beneath this temple until it is time to strike." "I shall instruct Sirione as to all military details... and after Serse's downfall ...you shall know the extent oi my gratitude." "Follow me." "Thiel." " Something new?" " Your brothels and all captured rebels ale going to be sacrificed to Baal this very day." "Follow me." "Dario." "Guards. you wait here." "I managed to talk with the king." "It's up to you now to save your life." "What would I have to do?" "Tell them where the lest of the rebels ale." "Tell them everything you know." "I know nothing." "I told Thar that." "And I have something else to say." "Even ii I did know." "I wouldn't speak." "But why?" "By now you must have realized they're common bandits." "Why die 101 them?" "I think it's pretty obvious who the bandits ale." "But you" "You could go ?" "ee." "Oh." "Dario." "I don't want you to die." "Goodbye." "Diala." "Guard." "Forward." "Here." "We must get away before they send reinforcements." "Back to the caves in the Stone Desert." "Come." " Uncle." " Yes." "I'm in this as deep as you." "Hurry up." "Dario." "Come." "You're sure you're not mistaken?" "Positive." "I tell you." "I saw hundreds oi Phoenicians." "The underground temple was full oi them." "Thar obviously is behind this." "He is no longer content with the power Serse stupidly bestowed upon him." "He wants this beautiful island to sell to Phoenicia then he'll be the reigning monarch." "We can't let that happen." "Surely there's something we can do." "We don't have enough men to attack them openly." "Do you have a plan?" "Yes." "I have." "To look 101 a way to enter the Colossus." "But the Colossus is impregnable" "How could we hope to get in?" "This is now a fight 101 survival. men." "Rhodes' best soldiers are imprisoned underground." "A heavy gate seals the only exit." "This gate can only be opened by a control in the Colossus." "You told me about it." "That's light." "I was working in a group that built it." "To make sure that the installation was kept secret those who worked on it were thrown into the file so they would not be able to talk about it." "But I got away." "So the control is there." "If we're lucky, we'll locate it and, what's more important, open the gate" "Once we release the prisoners." "they can help us to attack Thar." "Do You approve?" "Six oi us should be able to do it." "Let's say tomorrow." "I want each man to pick one." "That's suicide." "Colossus is a huge trap." "Every detail has been studied for years to make it impregnable." "How can you hope to break into it with a handful of men?" "Do you have a better suggestion?" "We must try this or it will be all over." "All oi us here feel the same." "And we all understand the greatness oi the risk." "Without any hope oi coming out alive?" "We'll see." "To bring peace to our people is worth more than the lives oi six men." "I was sure you'd left Rhodes." "You shouldn't be here." "Don't you have the sense to realize you're in danger?" "Who would look tor me here at this time of night?" "You certainly don't seem to lack courage." "You'll have to explain." "What is it?" "You act so foolishly just out oi a desire to see me?" "Diala I must see your father." "It's very important." "Important?" "What is ii." "Dario?" "To save Rhodes." "Thar is a traitor." "He's hidden a small army of Phoenician soldiers in the temple of Baal." "Impossible." "You must be wrong." "How could the Phoenicians enter the harbor?" "Thar is a very shrewd man." "Those Macedonian slaves that arrived here recently were soldiers in disguise." "But he couldn't." "Unfortunately. it's true." "We can still be in time to stop him." "What do you want with Father?" "The pool man couldn't be oi any help." "Your father is the only one who knows the secrets of the Colossus" "With his help." "we can turn the tide against Thar" "Father's been spending nights at the Colossus. working on some new invention." "Well can you get wold to him?" "I must speak to him." "Don't worry." "I'll bring you to see Father." "Without me. you'd probably get caught." "So we'll go together." "That might be dangerous 101 you." "I thought you said this was to save Rhodes." "Dario. everything will be all light." "You will leave me it anything goes wrong?" "The only thing I ask oi you is in case oi danger... ..warn Peliocles" "You'll find him in the caves oi the Stone Desert." "I will." "Now. you go." "I'll come back." "Dario." "Dario." "I..." "Here is the first control loom." "Amazing." "What is all this complicated machinery used tor?" "In a wold. 101 the protection oi Rhodes." "Stop" "You mustn't touch this." "It controls the door to the prisons." "Your little visit is quite a surprise." "Athenian but I'm delighted you came." "Watch out." "He eluded us." "He jumped into the water." "You fools." "Why does this Athenian outwit all our men?" "You are light to be angry." "Diala." "But... the day has not been unprofitable after all." "The Athenian will not live long nor will his new found friends." "Your bringing him here was a magnificent idea." "Diala." "I'm sure he suspected nothing." "I was afraid he would get to speak to Father" "Sentimental Father." "I know he would have helped the Athenian." "In a short time." "Rhodes will be in our hands." "Diala." "There will be no more obstacles in our way." "No, there is still one obstacle left" "Yes. this deluded old man labored so that it might benefit all humanity." "I thought I was working for the freedom oi the people not their enslavement." "But you're planning to betray Rhodes." "And I thank the gods I have found out in time to stop you." "Diala." "Diala." "It was inevitable." "Now. with his death." "Rhodes is ours to conquer." "Mine." "You must be so proud oi what you've done to us." "They were very efficient" "What do you mean?" "Thanks to your information ...Thar's soldiers were able to take us by surprise and completely wipe us out." "They took Peliocles and your uncle Lissipo." "They took all our best soldiers." "They'll hold the execution tonight so you can watch my brothels killed." " But you don't think I" " We don't think." "We know." "You were the traitor." "You told Thar precisely where our camp was." "Mine saw you in Rhodes last night at Diala's." "But now we'll play your way." "Mathos." "Everything is ready. sire." "Come." "Mine." "People oi Rhodes." "People oi Rhodes." "A terrible danger hangs over your homes and all your children." "A group of traitors has delivered the island to a foreign power." "Hundreds and hundreds oi Phoenician soldiers are in the city awaiting the older to attack." "I forbid you to go on, Athenian I forbid you." "Be careful, Serse" "The treason was prepared in your own palace." "The Colossus you built is now a nest tor the traitors and they're waiting to overthrow the throne to enrich themselves with the treasures of Rhodes and impose a reign oi tenor." "May the gods mete out to you a horrible death 101" "Over there." "Stop." "Stop." "What are you going to do without arms?" "You'll all be killed." " But the people are with us." " We need trained men." "There's a thousand of our men under the Colossus in the prison cave." "H we ?" "ee them. we still have a chance." " Peliocles." " Mine." "You're all all light?" "But how do we open this gate?" "This way." " Mathos." " Peliocles." "There's no time to lose." "To the Colossus. everyone." "You've done more than your share, Dario Now you'd better think of safety." "Safety?" "There is no safety" "I'm sure you don't know where the secret entrance is in the Colossus." "And you don't know where to open the gates to the prison." "Wait." "We will approach the prison caves by sea." "Dario will get to the control in the Colossus that opens the prison gates." "May I go with you?" "The signal." "The signal." "Send them the reply immediately." "That's plan has worked." "King Serse is dead." "Splendid." "The Colossus is in our hands." "Thar is about to assume the throne oi Rhodes." "And light now on the seas." "our proud Phoenician fleet... rapidly approaches to support his reign" "According to my information ...the sails oi the first ships will appeal on the horizon at dawn." "Thar, a masterful strategist has prepared it all." "My mission is almost over." "May I congratulate you, future queen of Rhodes?" "Up." "Guards. come with me." "Two of you, follow me" "The lest oi you guard the entrance." "Guards. form ranks." "This opens the door oi the prison." "Let's go." "Dario. look out." "Get out, men." "Get out" "Hurry." "Get out oi there. men." "Don't move." "Athenian." "Kill him." "No." "Why wait, Diala?" "It'd be too easy 101 him." "And later. we'll have more time." "Good." "With this. we'll get into the Colossus and tum it against our enemies." "What happened to Mathos and Dario?" "Forward." "Hurry." "Tie him up." "It seems your rebel friends wish to visit us." "I shall greet them very warmly." "Load the catapults." "Faster." "A few more times should do it" "Athenian, that is molten lead for your information." "Let go." "Over there." "Everyone take cover." "Again." "Peliocles." "Mathos and Dario are up there alone." " We must get them out." " No. no. no." "That would be suicide." "Half of our men have been wounded already" "We'll think of something else." "Come." "Your companions are inordinate cowards." "They're all running away in tenor." "Take the injured and carry them inside" "Peliocles. we've got to go back and try and stop those cursed catapults." "No." "We're staying light here." "All we can do is wait 101 them to come out." "And put our hope in Mathos and Dario." "Peliocles." "Peliocles." "The Phoenicians." "Phoenician ships." " The Phoenicians?" " Where are they?" "Offshore." "Over a thousand The whole Phoenician fleet" "H the wind doesn't change." "they'll be here within the hour." "Sirione. you should be proud." "I am proud that our ?" "eet serve Rhodes." "Now Rhodes and Phoenicia will be the rulers oi the world." " Earthquake." " Earthquake." "Earthquake." " Earthquake." " Earthquake." " Wait." " I older you to get back to your posts." "It's steady now." "But what ii the earthquake begins again?" "Attention." "Make way." "Make way." "Out oi my way." "Go out and you'll be killed." "Look at them run." "Imbeciles." "They forsake me when I need them most" "And you?" "You're not afraid?" "Well, Diala, why don't you forsake me too?" "I'll not forsake you, Thar" "I don't dale stay here." "They'll kill me." "I'll get to the ships." "Yes. the ships." "They can take me to Phoenicia." " Come!" " Here they ale. men." " Attack!" " After them." "Killing me makes no sense." "Diala." "You'd be left all alone" "We'd better try to get out oi here." "Diala." "Diala." "Diala." "There's no pain at all." "Funny." "I wanted so much but I die without getting anything." "I'll find some help" "I'll get you out oi here." " Dario. over here." " Creonte." "Dario." "Dario." "Peliocles." " Mine." " Dario." "Dario. we must try 101 these gates." "This way." "Hurry." "Ride to the Stone Desert." "Ales. jump on." "Hurry." "Hurry." " Dario." " Lissipo." "By Jupiter." "I never thought I'd see you again." " Ale you all light?" "Ale you hurt?" " Oh. no." "The gods were with me." "Dario." "Oh. not even an earthquake prevents you from courting a woman." "My deal uncle she's not just a woman." "She's my woman." "Congratulations." "Dario." "Will you take her to live in Athens?" "No." "We're staying in Rhodes." " In Rhodes?" " Yes." "There's a lot oi work to be done." "After all, this is the island of peace"
