I think it's Hercules.

I know who said it (Dienekes in response to a Trachian's warning) but I was looking for the wording as it was on the SDN signature.

Thanks for the help though!

Mary Jane got me. I'm pretty sure this is the dialogue I used (give or take) taken from Herodotus' Histories:

Trachian local: The Persian archers are so numerous their arrows will block out the sun.
Dienekes: Our Trachian friend brings us good news! For if what he says is true, then tomorrow we shall have our fight in the shade.

Hope I got this to you in time fro your lecture, FoughtFyr. BTW, what's the lecture topic?

12 lead ecgs. Going to use the Persian wars to break up a dry topic.

Great idea. Persian wars make a natural seque into STEMIs. 🙂

BTW, have you tried wikiquotes? I've found a lot of quotes there (and a lot of distractions!).

Take care,
