THE GOLDEN AGE OF ATHENS:
THE JEWEL IN THE GREEK EMPIRE
Standing like a colossus over the city is Pericles:
politician, general, architect of the city’s fortunes.
Yet some look on jewels with envy.
Forever a threat from the south,
Sparta will not kneel to its rival.
From their ranks rises a young boy
– ruthless, courageous, hungry.
Soon he will lead them . . .
Pericles is no longer young.
His city is divided – against the Spartan threat, against him.
Can Athens’ most famous son rouse its citizens to war?
Will the Lion of Athens roar one final time?
