5.0 out of 5 stars Persian Invasion of Greece, February 6, 2007

By	Pollyanna (Columbus, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The lion in the gateway (A Four square book)

An enthralling story, it tells of the crossing of the Hellespont by Xerxes' army and the battles fought against the invaders by the courageous Greeks; Pheidippides marathon run from Athens to Sparta and the heroic stand at Thermopylae by a handful of Spartans. The rich, detailed background of vengeful gods and venerable seers gives this brilliant version of the ancient myth a living realism.
