THE GOLDEN AGE OF ATHENS: THE JEWEL IN THE GREEK EMPIRE

Standing like a colossus over the city is Pericles: politician, general, architect of the city’s fortunes. Yet some look on jewels with envy. Forever a threat from the south, Sparta will not kneel to its rival. From their ranks rises a young boy – ruthless, courageous, hungry. Soon he will lead them...

Pericles is no longer young. His city is divided – against the Spartan threat, against him. Can Athens’ most famous son rouse its citizens to war? Will the Lion of Athens roar one final time?
