"The Sea, the Sea" by Xenophon
Only one man can lead the Greek army home. Trying to help a prince overthrow the king of Persia, the Greek army have been betrayed. Now the surviving soldiers are trapped in a hostile country as unforgiving enemies attack from all sides. Enter Xenophon, a tough and brilliant leader. He must guide the retreating Greeks across the treacherous mountains and rivers that stand in their way. But, can he lead them to freedom and to the great sea that will take them home?
Xenophon was born c.430BC, an Athenian gentleman. Whilst fighting for Greece, he was finally banished due to his devotion to Socrates and support for Sparta. Settling near Olympia under Spartan protection, he began to write his treatises, histories and biographies.
