It's prononced Molon Labe' (mo lon la bay) It means "come and take it."
Famous saying from a standoff. (france?)
Here ya go guys. It was Greece and Persia at the Battle of Thermopylae. Apparently the Persians (led by Xerxes) offered to spare the lives of the Greeks (led by King Leonidas), if they would lay down their weapons. This was their response. Kinda like an ancient Alamo standoff!

There is also a link from this page for more info on the actual battle.
