In 490 BC, the Athenian general Xanthippus joins the citizen army confronting a Persian landing at Marathon, while political rivalry inside Athens threatens the unity needed for survival. Ten years later Xerxes returns with a far larger invasion, forcing the Greeks into an uneasy coalition. Xanthippus must overcome exile and factional hostility as Athens prepares to abandon its city and Sparta’s Leonidas attempts to delay the Persians at Thermopylae.
