Twenty-five hundred years ago a small Mediterranean community
devised a new civic order; the community was Athens and the civic
order became democracy. Over almost two centuries Athens struggled
to keep its democracy. Previous novels, The Demos at Dawn and The
Children of Marathon, have described the early portions of this
struggle.
The present novel carries the struggle to a close. During the
course of this final period, Athenians desperately fought foreign
foes and each other, won, lost and suffered through strife, created
a thriving commerce and an empire, only to have them lost and then
regained and lost again, and produced architecture, art, drama and
philosophy unrivaled then or now.
This is a story of some men and women of that time, as well as
the story of ancient Athenian democracy.
