Description
Leonidas of Sparta: A Boy of the Agoge Born into a family of twins, Leonidas was considered an afterthought from birth, a fact that would shape his early life. With his eldest brother destined for greatness, Leonidas was forced to endure the harsh realities of ordinary Spartan youth. Barefoot, hungry, and subject to discipline, he struggled to survive without disgrace. These formative years would ultimately make him the most famous Spartan of all time, but they were also a time of hardship and struggle. Despite the odds against him, Leonidas persevered, laying the foundations for a future that would take him to the very limits of human endurance. This first book in a trilogy of biographical novels tells the story of Leonidas' childhood in the infamous Spartan agoge, a period that would prove pivotal in shaping his destiny.
