## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very good read
*by P***R on 30 April 2025*

Great Greek adventure. Fast moving and full of energy. Good factual basis which gave a greater understanding of of the Persian and Greek conflicts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ not as good as his tale of Rome and Gengis Khan
*by P***R on 27 December 2024*

Always worth reading Conn Iggulden work not his best but explains Athens way of life in a way that was easy to follow will finish series’s if there is another book

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent retelling of a powerful tale - don't miss it
*by B***M on 12 May 2022*

Conn Iggulden is always to be relied on for bringing history to life, and this book is no exception. I am very familiar with the background, having read Herodotus as part of my classical studies, and there is no subsititute for going directly to the great master for a most easy and enjoyable read about everything that he ever came across during his life, as well as a detailed account of the Persian Wars. Conn brings it to life also, but in a diferent way, by providing all the dialogue that Herodotus omits (being a historian, not a novelist). Of course, he takes a few liberties with the facts as they are actually known from contemporary sources, but this is entirely legitimate in a fictionalised re-telling. We cannot now know everything that happened back then, and Conn provides a plausible explanation for some of the things about which we do not now the specific detail. He's also good at recreating a society and a political landscape which is utterly different from ours, and yet formed the basis of the democracy (well, oligarchy except for the three weeks before a general election!) in which we live today. If the Persians had won, absolutely nothing whatsoever would have been the same as it is now - that's a powerful thought worth reading about.
