The Persian Wars,
By
This review is from: The Persian Wars (Audio CD)
Not being an expert in translations from ancient Greek to English, I can only comment that I got what I wanted out of the MP3 CD. To learn about the Persian Wars. The narrator is easy to understand, and made a worthwhile presentation.
