day no. 15,388 continued... molon labe

While reading Douglas Wilson's "Same Sex Mirage" again today, I came across a new term: "molon labe." This is reported by Plutarch as Leonidas' response o the Persians request to surrender their weapons. It is a Latinized rendering of the original Greek which essentially means, "Come and take 'em!" Reminds me of this,

1 Kings 20:11
Let not him who straps on his armor boast himself as he who takes it off.
