Description
This historical novel tells the story of Themistocles, a Greek general whose achievements have been overlooked for too long. In 480 B.C., Themistocles led his countrymen to victory in the pivotal Battle of Salamis, preventing the Persians from taking control of Attica and shaping the course of democracy.
The outcome of this battle had far-reaching consequences, as it allowed democracy to flourish without interference. This book sheds new light on a significant figure in history, revealing his bravery, strategic thinking, and leadership that saved Greece from Persian domination.
