Paul Cartledge
Renowned classical historian Paul Cartledge looks anew at this history-altering moment and shows how its repercussions affect us even today. The invasion of Europe by Xerxes and his army redefined culture, kingdom, and class. The valiant efforts of the Greek warriors, facing a huge onrushing Persian army at the narrow pass at Thermopylae, changed the way future generations would think about combat, courage, and death.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I would have liked more detail of this battle as the great heroic event that it was rather than the description of various incidental Greek figures who were not key to the battle itself. It was more of a recitation of political events rather than a tale of perhaps the greatest heroic triumph and self-sacrifice. In short, it was disappointing.Has Thermopylae turned you off from other books in this genre?
No it has not.What three words best describe John Lee’s voice?
AuthoritativeYou didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
There was some discussion of the battle and the heroic nature of the battle but not not nearly enough.A great battle not well retold
