In the Ancient World, one army was feared above all others • 401 BC. The Persian king Artaxerxes rules an empire stretching from the Aegean to northern India • As many as fifty million people are his subjects • His rule is absolute • But the sons of Sparta are eager to play the game of thrones • Battles can be won - or lost - with a single blow • Princes fall. And when the dust of civil war settles, the Spartans are left stranded in the heart of an enemy's empire, without support, without food and without water • Far from home, surrounded by foes, it falls to the young soldier Xenophon to lead the survivors against Artaxerxes' legendary Persian warriors • The Falcon of Sparta masterfully depicts the ferocity and heroism that was the Ancient World
