Description
The valiant efforts of the Greek warriors against huge onrushing Persian army at the narrow pass at Thermopylae in 480 B.C. changed the way future generations would think about combat, courage, and death. Cartledge shows how the repercussions of this history-altering moment affect our culture even today.
