A shocking historical novel about women's emancipation against the backdrop of ancient Sparta
The Spartan's Daughter ignores the Medo-Persian advance. Will Calliope have a role, perhaps, at this turning point in world history? The adventure of eighteen-year-old Calliope, daughter of the brave Spartan warrior Andronikos, who raised her after the death of her mother. The teachings on battle and the art of war perfectly suited her competitive nature. Together they devise a plan to leave Sparta at dawn to avoid her marriage to someone who has the right, according to local custom, to abduct her from her home to make her his wife, away from the happy life she has with her dignified and manly father. Thanks to her Spartan training, she will hike at night so she doesn't get caught. Her destination is Athens, where an elderly relative has agreed to take care of her. However, Athens has its own, much bigger problem to deal with; the vast army of Darius, the fear and terror of the ancient world, is moving against Greece. At Marathon, the conflict that will decide the continuation of Western Civilization will be decided.
A shocking one historical novel unfolds through the story of a young Spartan woman. Against the stereotypes, the standards of the time, he draws a new line while the threat of the Persians is just around the corner!
