Queen Gorgo of Sparta tells her men about the Battle of Marathon, in which King Darius of Persia was killed by General
Themistocles of Athens ten years earlier. Darius's son, Xerxes, witnesses his father's death, and is advised to not
continue the war, since only "the gods can defeat the Greeks". Darius's naval commander, Artemisia, claims that Darius'
last words were in fact a challenge and sends Xerxes on a journey through the desert. Xerxes finally reaches a cave and
bathes in an otherworldly liquid, emerging as the 8-foot tall "God-King". He returns to Persia and declares war on
Greece to avenge his father. As Xerxes's forces advance towards Thermopylae, Themistocles meets with the council and
convinces them to provide him with a fleet to engage the Persians at the sea. Themistocles then travels to Sparta to ask
King Leonidas for help, but is informed by Dilios that Leonidas is consulting the Oracle, and Gorgo is reluctant to side
with Athens. Themistocles later reunites with his old friend Scyllas, who infiltrated the Persian troops and learned Artemisia
was born Greek, but defected to Persia as her family was raped and murdered by Greek hoplites and she was taken as a sex slave,
and subsequently left for dead in the streets. She was rescued and adopted by a Persian emissary. Her lust for vengeance gained
the attention of King Darius and he made her a naval commander after she killed many of his enemies. Themistocles also learns
that Leonidas has marched to fight the Persians with only 300 men.
Themistocles leads his fleet of fifty warships and several thousand men, which include Scyllas, Scyllas's son Calisto
and Themistocles' right-hand man Aeskylos to the Aegean Sea, starting the Battle of Artemisium. They ram their ships
into the Persian ships, charge them, slaughtering several soldiers before retreating from the sinking Persian ships.
The following day, the Greeks feign a retreat and lead a group of Persian ships into a crevice, where they become
stuck. The Greeks charge the Persian ships from the cliffs above and kill more Persians. Impressed with Themistocles'
skills, Artemisia brings him onto her ship where she seduces him, in an attempt to lure him to the Persian side as
her second-in-command. He refuses, causing her to push him aside and swear revenge on him. The Persians spill tar into
the sea and send suicide bombers to swim to and board the Greek ships with their flame bombs. Artemisia and her men fire
flaming arrows and torches to ignite the tar, but an Athenian manages to kill one of the Persians, who falls into the tar
carrying a torch, causing ships from both sides to explode. Themistocles is thrown into the sea by an explosion and nearly
drowns before being rescued by Aeskylos, and stands by Scyllas's side as he succumbs to his injuries. Believing Themistocles
to be dead, Artemisia and her forces withdraw. After recovering from his injuries, Themistocles learns that only a few hundred
of his warriors and six of his ships survived the disastrous attack executed by Artemisia.
Daxos, an Arcadian general, tells Themistocles that Leonidas and his 300 men were killed after Ephialtes betrayed
the Greeks to Xerxes. Themistocles returns to Athens and confronts Ephialtes. The deformed Spartan traitor reveals
that Xerxes plans to attack and burn Athens to the ground. Ephialtes is regretful of his actions, and welcomes
death. Themistocles spares him instead, so he can warn Xerxes that the Greek forces are gathering at Salamis. He
then visits Gorgo in Sparta while she is mourning Leonidas's death to ask for her help, but she is too overcome
with grief. Before leaving, Themistocles returns Leonidas's sword, which had been delivered to him by Ephialtes
under Xerxes's orders, and urges Gorgo to avenge Leonidas. In Athens, Xerxes's army is laying waste when Ephialtes
arrives to deliver Themistocles' message. Upon learning he is alive, Artemisia leaves to ready her entire navy for
battle. Xerxes suggests a more cautious plan but she still leaves for battle, ignoring Xerxes's advice. The remaining
Greek ships charge into the Persians ships, and the two armies battle, beginning the decisive Battle of Salamis.
Themistocles and Artemisia engage in a duel, which ends in a stalemate with both receiving severe injuries.
At this moment Gorgo, who had been narrating the tale to the Spartans, arrives at the battle along with ships
from numerous Greek city states including Delphi, Thebes, Olympia, Arcadia, and Sparta, all of them uniting
against the surrounded Persians. Daxos leads the Arcadian army while Themistocles urges Artemisia to surrender.
Xerxes, watching the battle from a cliff, turns his back on her, acknowledging his naval defeat and continuing
the march of his army. Artemisia tries to kill Themistocles one last time but is killed as he stabs her through
the stomach. While Dilios leads the Greek assault, Themistocles and Gorgo take a moment to silently acknowledge
one another's alliance as the remaining Persians attempt a counter-attack. The three then charge at the opposing
Persians with the whole Greek army.
