A very low budget peplum epic from Italy, quite unknown today which may be down to the lack of familiar faces in it; no imported muscleman stars from the USA here, just second tier actors doing their bit. It's a Greek tale about a city rising up against its Spartan oppressors in the form of a minor revolution; what we get is tiresome romance, cheap action and a few stock battle sequences which fail to impress too. Below par for the industry.
