''Le Dernier Spartiate'' (''The Last Spartan'') is a comic book by Jacques Martin. It was first published in ''Tintin'' magazine in 1966-1967. Then it was published as a comic album in 1967. This is the seventh episode of the ''ComicBook/{{Alix}}'' series.
Alix wakes up alone on a beach in Greece. He remembers that the ship that he traveled on was caught in a tempest. Soon he finds the shipwreck, but it was burned. He asks Greek villagers for help, but they are very reluctant. One of them finally gives him some food and tells him that his travel companions, including Enak, were enslaved by a group of people who deliberately make the ships run aground.
----
!!''Le Dernier Spartiate'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* AlasPoorVillain: In the end, Horatius is reluctant to attack the temple because he feels some sympathy for the Greeks. Finally, the remaining Greeks die in the fire of the temple. Alix and Horatius feel sorry for them and for Héraklion.
* AntiVillain: Queen Adréa. Her goal is the free her homeland, which is legitimate. She has slaves, but she opposes cruel treatments like cutting off the hands of one of them. She also considers Alix as a WorthyOpponent and she does not want to kill or enslave him. She only accepts to slaughter the slaves in case of extreme necessity.
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: The probable reason for the fire of the temple in the end: the Greeks prefer dying in the fire than being killed or enslaved by the Romans.
* BittersweetEnding: The slaves, including Enak, are freed. The Romans prevail, but they feel sorry for the Greeks who all died, except Héraklion. Alix also feels sorry for this young orphan.
* BondVillainStupidity: If Queen Adréa had let Alcidas kill Alix, or at least if she had jailed him, maybe she would have saved her people.
* CallBack: Alix and Enak go to Greece to visit Horatius, whom they met in ''Recap/LaGriffeNoire'' and ''Recap/LesLegionsPerdues''. In the end, Horatius and Galva besiege the Greek fort.
* TheCavalry: The Roman army under the command of Horatius shows up when the revolted slave are facing the Greeks in a last stand.
* ClothingDamage: When Alix wakes up on the seashore after the tempest, his clothes are damaged, so that he is almost shirtless.
* DistressedDude: Enak is caught and enslaved by the Greeks. Alix frees him, but he gets caught again. Alcidas threatens to cut off his hands and Alix must intervene. Later, the Greeks plan to slaughter all the slaves, including Enak.
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Adréa makes a nightmare: she is a giant Athena, she is going to crush Alix, but she hesitates and finally Alix stands up and knocks her down. This foreshadows her attitude toward Alix and her final downfall.
* FinalBattle: The slaves rebel and then the Romans attack the fort.
* {{Flashback}}: Alix and Enak's travel from Rome and the tempest is showed in a flashback.

The goal of the Greeks is first to free their homeland, which is a legitimate goal, and then to take over the world, just like the Romans do. Some Greeks, like Alcidas or Pyrenias, are scumbags, but others (Horodès, Queen Adréa, Astyanax) are decent people. The Romans also destroy the farm of innocent people.

Alix wakes up alone on a beach in Greece. He remembers that the ship that he traveled on was caught in a tempest. Soon he finds the shipwreck, but it was burned. He asks Greek villagers for help, but they are very reluctant. One of them finally gives him some food and tells him that his travel companions, including Enak, were enslaved by a group of people who deliberately make the ships run aground.
