Omschrijving

""A Victor of Salamis: A Tale of the Days of Xerxes, Leonidas and Themistocles"" is a historical fiction novel written by William Stearns Davis. The story is set in ancient Greece during the Persian Wars and follows the life of a young Athenian named Ariston who becomes a warrior and sailor. Ariston is present during the Battle of Salamis, where the Greeks defeated the Persians, and his bravery and cunning help secure the victory. Throughout the novel, Ariston encounters famous historical figures such as Xerxes, Leonidas, and Themistocles, and witnesses the political and military struggles of ancient Greece. The book provides an exciting and immersive look into the world of ancient Greece, blending historical accuracy with fictional characters and events.1944. The invasion of Greece by Xerxes, with its battles of Thermopylae, Salamis, and Plataea, forms one of the most dramatic events in history. Had Athens and Sparta succumbed to this attack of Oriental superstition and despotism, the Parthenon, the Attic Theater, the Dialogues of Plato, would have been almost as impossible as if Phidias, Sophocles, and the philosophers had never lived. Because this contest and its heroes, Leonidas and Themistocles, cast their abiding shadows across our world of today, I have attempted this piece of historical fiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
