Good.  Then we will fight in the shade.
    —    Dienekes (a Spartan officer)
It is reported by Herodotus, in his Histories, 7.226, that Dienekes was told on the eve of battle (the Battle of Thermopylae) by a native of Trachis that the Persian archers were so numerous that, their arrows would block out the sun.  Dienekes, however, undaunted by this prospect, replied with a laugh:  (above)
