My surprise was total and zero. I am a very large percent… coming from the Spartacus tribe. Take that, you haters.

“Our DNA is unique to each of us; tiny changes in letters of the genetic code help to explain why we are different from others.”

“Gil Brodsky -age 68- wrested with these questions [of his true identity] after taking a DNA test and learning in June 2018 that the man who raised him was not his biological father. Testing companies allow members who give permission to be contacted to send messages to one another within the site, and Dr. Brodsky soon received several notes who pointed out that they were relatives and offered to share more information.”

“Consumer DNA testing has taken off in recent years. Millions of people have spit in a tube or swabbed their cheeks, enticed by prices under $100 and marketing campaigns that focus on the recreational aspect of finding out about your family history, like the man in the ad for AncestryDNA who “switched my lederhosen for a kilt” after the test revealed that his family’s lineage was Scottish, not German. The emphasis is often on self-exploration; the companies MyHeritage and 23andMe (for the 23 pairs of human chromosomes) embody the idea in their very names.”

People discovered their half-brothers and half-sisters this way. Give it a try.

“A man must embrace his faith or be destroyed by it.”-Batiatus

This is a quote from Spartacus: Blood and Sand, Sacramentum Gladiatorum [1.02]

This is the complete exchange in that scene:

What is faith, but an ebb and flow,

a membrane of sorth.

“You press beyond position. You fight. Win. Until then, we’re done” -Batiatus to Spartacus when this asked about his wife
Legends [1.03]

Your success depends on your

Discipline

Focus. How narrow can you make your focus in a shitty world, full of distractions and inanities.

How obsessed you are with your personal development.

How you stack up against your peers. If you’re reading this lines, you are way, way ahead of the others.

Unfortunately, the scumbags who despise my courage have removed most of my Spartacus videos from years past.

The crowd fancies our Thracian, doesn't it ? -Batiatus

Is Spartacus moving fate when he fights Crixus at the Romans reception or what ?
