00:16Never has Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer presented more spectacular excitement
00:20than the thundering thrills of the Giant of Marathon.
00:23Steve Reeves, the star you cheered as Hercules and as Goliath,
00:27now heroically portrays the first great champion of the Olympic Games,
00:31whose race from Marathon to Athens not only saved his country from destruction,
00:35but set the pattern for the great Marathon race which has crowned the Olympics ever since.
00:40Men envied and feared his superhuman feats of strength and endurance.
00:44Women hungered for the powerful embrace of his naked arms.
00:48There was the provocative pagan princess Andromeda.
00:51Her fiery spirit was a freaking match for the Giant of Marathon.
00:55And there was the wanton Charis, who thought she knew all about men.
00:59No, not like that.
01:01You must never kiss me like that, Philippides.
01:04But when repulsed, turned to treachery.
01:07Are you satisfied now?
01:08Are you?
01:10Charis, listen to me.
01:11Get out of here.
01:12You dare come here parading your precious innocence and your purity.
01:15In alliance, he stood almost alone against an invader sworn to kill all the men and enslave all the women.
01:23Storming from history's most violent pages, the screen rages with reckless realities to such daring sights as
01:30underwater swimmers versus fighting ships.
01:32The first frogmen, warriors armed only with spears, fighting off an entire navy.
01:40The side-wheeled chariots ripping a path of agony.
01:44War galleys with their murderous jagged crowns.
