ACT TWO SCENE ONE Weeks later: outside the Acropolis: dusk. The armies have pitched camp side by side. Far (audience) left, NICO, in his tent: far right, LEONIDAS, in his. KINESIAS leads the ATHENIANS in drill: BION leads the SPARTANS. Each army is icily respectful of the other's area. None are happy: most are painfully erect:* the sanction is taking its toll. KINESIAS and BION pointedly aim the drill at their respective superiors, who pretend---sort of---not to hear.
