| Description: | Select Guide Rating Describes how a small and quarrelsome band of Greek city states united to repel the might of the Persian empire. Frequently giving rise to colorful digressions, this book blends fact and legend to offer a compelling Greek view of the world of the fifth century BC. ''The first example of non-fiction, the text that underlies the entire discipline of history ... it is above all a treasure trove'' Tom Holland |
