HERODOTUS: Histories (The) - The Persian War (Abridged)
In this, the first prose history in European civilization, Herodotus tells the heroic tale of the Greeks’ resistance to the vast invading force assembled by Xerxes, King of Persia, as currently retold in the feature film 300. Here are not only the great battles—Marathon, Thermopylae, Salamis—but also penetrating human insight and a powerful sense of epic destiny at work.
