THE GOLDEN AGE OF ATHENS: THE JEWEL IN THE GREEK EMPIRE

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?**
