Additional Notes         :

     This is my first map. I decided to create it due to the fact that the
     setting, ancient Greece, hasn´t been much covered yet. Two
     basically identical temples, though one the ugly face of the
     other, the beautiful one, two twins, good and evil ...
    
     Created this map using GtkRadiant 1.4.0, the flag skins were
     done with Photoshop 7.0. By the way, the music is part of the
     original SoF 2-soundtrack!
    
     Don´t be afraid of the two ghost voices in the catacombs,
     they won´t harm you. And don´t get too close to the fire and
     the waterfall ;-) .

     The citizens of Sparta (950 - 192 B.C.) in the south of ancient Greece
     were well known for their military power. At the age of seven, the boys
     were put in camps to learn sword and spear fighting as well as the tactics
     of warfare. All Sparta was aiming at was having a strong, well equipped
     army that made it valuable to its allies and frightening to its enemies.

     Under Xerxes the Persians invaded Greece. In August 480 B.C. they attacked
     the Greeks at the narrow pass at Thermopylae. The Greek army, consisting of
     some 7000 men, was led by 300 Spartans and faced the Persian forces of perhaps
     some forty times its size. After two days, a traitor led the Persians around
     the  pass behind the Greek lines. The Spartan general Leonidas fought to the
     death. On the spot, a marble lion was set by the Greeks in honour of Leonidas
     and his men, together with two other monuments nearby. On one of them, the
     memorable words were written:
          
           "Oh stranger tell the Lacedaemonians, that we lie here,
            obedient to their laws".
