the giant of marathon be phillipides ( steve reef ) an olympic champion and warrior call upon to defend ancient greece against an invasion by persia from without and the treason of theocrates from within . in the course of do that and he manage to get a couple of beauty to fall in love with him and of course . in all honesty and 80 % of this movie be for the most part uninteresting and deal with romance that i really do not care about and political machination that be rather confuse to say the least . it have a cheap feel right off the top and performance that be plod and and a an italian french production and be rather poorly dub into english . i give credit for the last 20 % or so of the movie and though . the closing sea battle between athens and persia be a pretty good ride and a phillipides and theocrates finally confront one another in battle . still and though and it not a good movie . for the sake of that closing battle and it get negative .
