From Wikipedia
Molṑn labé (Greek: μολὼν λαβέ, transl. "come and take [them]") is a Greek phrase attributed to Leonidas I of Sparta during his written correspondence with Xerxes I of Persia on the eve of the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC. A classical expression of defiance, it is among the Laconic phrases reported by the Greek historian Plutarch, and is said to have been Leonidas's response to Xerxes's demand that the Spartan army lay down their weapons and surrender to the Persian army during the second Persian invasion of Greece.
