Theron (300)

Theron is an antagonist in 300. He is played by Dominic West. A corrupt Spartan politician, Theron wants all that Queen Gorgo controls. His most treacherous act was when Gorgo reluctantly submitted sexually to him in exchange for help in persuading the Spartan council to send reinforcements to Leonidas. He then violently raped her and gloatingly maintained that her words would fall on deaf ears. When Theron arrogantly betrayed Gorgo and accused her of voluntary adultery in front of the Council, she killed him out of rage, which spills open a bag of Xerxes' gold from Theron's robe. Marking his treachery, the Council united against Persia.
