About this book
Against the epic backdrop of the Greco-Persian Wars, this stirring historical novel follows a young Athenian athlete through love, betrayal, exile, and redemption, culminating in the great sea battle of Salamis where Greek freedom hung in the balance. William Stearns Davis, a historian with a gift for vivid storytelling, recreates the world of ancient Greece—its games, politics, and heroism—with scholarship and dramatic power. Rich in incident and atmosphere, the novel brings one of history's most decisive conflicts thrillingly to life. A rousing tale of courage and history, A Victor of Salamis is an absorbing journey into the golden age of ancient Greece and its fight for survival.
