Book Summary
Thousands of years ago, Herodotus and Plutarch immortalized Spartan society in
their histories; but today, little is left of the ancient city or the social
structure of this momentous culture. One of the few antiquarian marks of the
civilization that has survived lies scores of miles away from Sparta, at a
narrow Greek mountain pass called Thermopylae. It was there that three hundred
of Sparta's finest warriors held back the invading millions of the Persian
empire and valiantly gave their lives in the selfless service of democracy and
freedom. A simple engraved stone marks their burial ground.
Inspired by this stone and intrigued by the lore
