Gates of Fire
by

It was a great fictionalized account of the Battle of Thermopylae but
I have to say that the last 100-150 pages could definitely have been
shortened. Though the first part was engaging and I loved it the last
third dragged on a bit.
The story is of Xeo a Greek whose polis was attacked and destroyed and
him going to Sparta to become a servant there. In the process we learn
about what Sparta was like in terms of their men, women, children and
the politics.
