The true story behind the events in 300: Rise of an Empire, the sequel to Zack Snyder's 300

The action-filled movie 300 focused on Ancient Greece's epic battle of Thermopylae, in which King Leonidas led 300 Spartans into battle against Xerxes and his million-strong Persian forces. In the sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire, the action moves to the sea, covering ten years starting with the Battle of Marathon and ending with naval engagement the Battle of Artemisium, which occurred the same day as Thermopylae.

Rise of an Empire tells the story of the real men and events depicted in the movie, focusing on the Athenian general Themistocles, one of the world's greatest warriors. He became warlord of Greece, built their navy and, by uniting Greece to defeat Xerxes' fleet, enabled what we call western civilization. Packed with vivid detail, clashes of arms and ships, blood and glory, Rise of an Empire tells a story even bigger than the big screen could contain.

  • Both an essential read for fans of the 300 movies and the Frank Miller graphic novels they're based on
  • An insightful exploration of the leaders who feature in the film, their backgrounds, motivations, command decisions, struggles, victories and defeats, from the Battle of Marathon through the Battles of Artemisium and Salamis: Xerxes, the Persian king determined to succeed where his father failed, and Themistocles, overcoming monumental hurdles to turn Athens into Ancient Greece's greatest sea power and leading city-state of the age
  • A gripping narrative of the real-life naval battles of the first and second Persian invasions of Greece, with fascinating detail about the ships, the warriors and the tactics

Amazing value and performance — perfect everyday home printer!
Color: Black, Style: ET-2800-B, Pattern Name: Printer
After lots of research and comparing ink costs, I finally purchased the Epson EcoTank ET-2800 Wireless Color All-in-One Cartridge-Free Supertank with Scan and Copy and it has been one of the best tech investments I’ve made for my home setup. Whether I’m printing documents, photos, homework, or creative projects, this printer delivers consistently reliable results without the usual stress over ink costs. Right out of the box, setup was surprisingly easy. Epson’s app guided me through the wireless connection, and within minutes the printer was connected to my Wi-Fi and ready to go. The initial filling of the ink tanks took a few extra minutes, but the included bottles were clearly labeled and simple to use without mess. The print quality has exceeded my expectations for an all-in-one home printer: - Documents: Crisp, clean text — perfect for school assignments, work documents, letters, and recipes. - Photos: Bright, colorful prints with decent detail (especially when using good-quality paper). - Graphics & Crafts: I’ve printed worksheets, planner pages, labels, and even small art pieces — and everything looks sharp and vibrant. - The speed is solid for its class. It’s not a professional office machine, but it doesn’t feel slow for everyday use. Cartridge-Free Ink — Game Changer This is the real highlight: - Cartridge-free Supertank System: Instead of tiny cartridges that run out in no time, this printer uses large refillable ink tanks — which means massive savings on ink long-term. - Low Ink Cost: You really feel the savings after your first few refills. I used to go through cartridges quickly, but now I only refill every few months — and even then, it’s affordable. The included ink bottles provide a ton of pages, and you can easily track levels through the transparent tanks so you’re never caught off guard. The wireless setup works smoothly. I can print from: - My phone (via Epson app, AirPrint, or Google Cloud Print) - My laptop or tablet - Directly via Wi-Fi without cables No more plugging USB in every time — super convenient. The scanner is quick and easy to use: - Scan photos - Scan documents straight to email or phone - Make copies without touching a computer The scan quality is clear and accurate — ideal for digitizing receipts, forms, or school worksheets. Pros: - Huge savings on ink long-term - Excellent print quality for text and color graphics - Easy wireless setup and mobile printing - Transparent tanks — see ink levels at a glance - Scanner and copier work well for everyday tasks - Quiet operation compared to older printers Minor Notes - Initial setup takes a bit longer because of ink filling — but it’s worth it. - Photo prints are good for casual use, though super high-detail photography will still look better with dedicated photo printers or labs. - No automatic document feeder (ADF) — so multi-page scanning requires manual pages. The Epson EcoTank ET-2800 has transformed my printing experience. It’s affordable to run, produces great everyday prints, and the wireless features make it super convenient for the entire household. If you’re looking for a home printer that won’t drain your budget on ink, this one is absolutely worth it. Whether you’re printing school documents, work files, planners, photos, or craft projects, this printer does it all with ease — and saves you money over time. Highly recommended for home use — practical, efficient, and budget-friendly!

Excellent Investment!
Color: Black, Style: ET-2800-B, Pattern Name: Printer
I have had this printer for two years now. I purchased it to do invitations and signs for my Daughter's baby shower. I designed an invitation, printed more than sixty copies with address labels, return address labels, numerous signs, games and raffles tickets. I used it again for the Baby's 1st Birthday same amount of items. I have not had to fill the colored ink in over 2 years. I have filled the black. My husband also uses it for work and I've printed several other projects including pictures. Everything has always exceeded my expectations. For the price you get excellent quality. I find the software easy to use and update.

Don't wait. Just get the press.
Color: Purple
Incredibly easy to use. Heats up perfectly and I love the auto press. I wish I would have invested in this sooner.

Small, light and works SO well! I'm floored!!!
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
I am floored by this heat press! I have a more expensive brand but it's so large and heavy. I wanted something that was portable enough to take to craft shows. I thought, what the heck, worst thing is I send it back. Thank is NOT happening! HTVRONT brings it again! This press is SO light. I was worried about it easily sliding around. NOPE, they put suction cup feet on the bottom! The top handle folds back for ease of use, so you can postion your hat any way you like. It has the standard pull bar to pull the hat snug onto the press. Once you bring the top forward the bottom platen then raises up to press the hat against the top platen (when you push "play" to start the pressing. It doesn't do it untiol you want it to.) I was able to press the stanrd area of the front, but also was easily able to press the bill and the side of the hat as well. It came with two platens which is very nice as well. It also heats up quickly. Initially, the top took a bit of force to push backwards, but it loosened up very quickly. This is SO small and light as well. You can store it just about anywhere. It's not much bigger than a loaf of bread. I am THRILLED!
