This book covers the long series of wars between the Classical Greeks and the Persian Empire.
This period produced the famous battles of Marathon, Thermopylae and Salamis, as well as an ill-fated attempt to overthrow the Persian king in 400 BC, which helped to inspire the conquests of Alexander the Great.
Philip de Souza's principal source is Herodotus, who tells the story of these momentous events, of the lives of great men and women, of the societies and cultures that produced them, and explains how and why they came into conflict. This compact book gives a concise overview on the account by 'the Father of History', alongside illustrations and maps.
