Contrasting Male roles

Persian King

He is the Empire who wants to take over Sparta and have it under his control. He is represented as a powerful man but with female features, such as make up, piercings etc, which relates to him being in touch with his inner femininity.This can link to the ‘New Man



Leonidas

He is the king of Sparta, his role is to care for his country along with his wife.
He is represented as a typical ‘breadwinner’ with pure masculinity through weaponry and physic.
