Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the twentieth year of the first Messenian war. The war was fought between the Lakedaemonians and the Messenians over two pretexts: the killing of their King Teleklos and the refusal to give up Poluchares, who had slain some Spartans. The book begins with the Lakedaemonians crossing the border and surprising the town of Ampheia, whose gates were open and unguarded, as not expecting attack, and massacring the inhabitants in their beds or at their altars. The Messenians were not trained to war like the Lakedaemonians, and being unprepared, could not keep the field against them, but had to allow their country to be overrun and laid waste while they kept within the towns which the Lakedaemonians could not take from their want of skill in siege operations. The author of this book provides a gripping account of the war, and astutely explores the themes of Revenge, Patriotism, Faith, Betrayal, Honor, Freedom, Loss, War, Belief, Heroism, and Grief. The text has particular relevance to those interested in ancient Greek history, mythology, and warfare. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330442463_0
