Having betrayed King Darius, Miltiades a duplicitous Athenian
renegade on the run from the Persian Empire, is forced to make for
the churning instability of new democratic Athens. He has to
convince the hostile, frightened Athenians that if they don't fight
the Persians then, like him, they are doomed. Athens seethes with
enemies who want him dead and the only person he can trust is his
Luck Bringer the ungovernable teenaged Mandrocles. Against a
background of treachery and violence Miltiades fights his battles
in the courts and councils while Mandrocles fights his in the
streets, theatre, bars and brothels. As the Persian threat grows
and the danger within threatens Miltiades chooses to fight at
marathon where the ragged citizen army, including some of the
greatest figures in the ancient world faces the overwhelming might
of the Persian Immortals in 24 hours that changed history.
