Publisher's Synopsis
Somewhere in the depths of Hades, a shadow fights off the abyss of the netherworld before becoming the fully formed memory of a Greek warrior. The story of history begins...
The ancient historian Herodotus was the first to narrate the events of the Persian wars, which involved Greek city-states staving off the threat of a Persian invasion. Were it not for Herodotus, the world would have never known of the sacrifice of the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae. Herodotus tells the tale of an enigmatic warrior who fights for the greatest freedom of all: to make the unknown known.
