In 480 B.C., Xerxes I, king of the Persian Empire, led a vast and
uncountable army intent on the domination of Europe. Only a tiny
collection of Greek city-states stood in his path. At Thermopylae
the Persians annihilated a small holding force commanded by King
Leonidas of Sparta, then quickly marched on to Athens, reducing the
city to ruins. Outnumbered and beset by treachery, Sparta, Athens
and their allies gathered near the town of Plataea for one final
battle. The future of Western civilization hung on the outcome. "In
Kithairon's Shadow" is the story of five men from ancient Greece
and the parts they would play in determining their future, and
ours.
