While lodging in the Spartan barracks, Theras hones his athletic and military skills alongside the other boys. But after seeing the Spartans’ callous disregard for human life, he makes plans to leave with his new friend Abas, a Perioikoi shepherd boy.
Together they must fight their way toward Athens, across many dangerous miles of rugged Greek terrain, constantly on the run from Spartan soldiers and those who would sell them into slavery.
Unabridged. Numerous illustrations by Dimitris Davis. This engaging, engrossing story on ancient Greece is recommended by the Well-Educated Heart.
