Themistocles, the instrumental political and military figure of the ancient world, best known for his role in the defeat of the Persians at the Battle of Salamis, which cemented him as an icon of the age. However, Michael Scott’s new history of Themistocles explores the man behind the legend. This new history of one of Greece’s greatest heroes charts his complicated life by exploring a life at the dawn of democracy and in midst of war.Price: £20.00 (plus £2 booking fee per transaction)
