Description

Ancient Greece, 5th century BCThe age of myths and legends has given way to the world of men. In the front rank stands Pericles, Lion of Athens.Behind Pericles lies the greatest city of the ancient world. Before him, on land and at sea, stands the merciless Persian army. Both sides are spoiling for war.Though still a young man, Pericles knows one thing: to fight a war you must first win the peace.It's time for a hero to rise.For his enemies to tremble.And for Athens, a city of wisdom and warriors, to shine with glory . . .
