5.0 out of 5 stars The Persian Wars, August 18, 2006

By	Dr. William J. Lahl (Cuddebackville, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
