Synopsis

The world was shuddering. The course of history was reaching a deadly confrontation between the most powerful Empire that the world had ever known (the Great Persian Empire), and the fledgling Democracy that was hatching in Athens.

The enigmatic King of Kings of the Persian Empire, Xerxes, was bent on revenge against the Greeks, and Athens in particular. He could taste the blood and could smell the burning of his hated rivals. He promised to lay waste to the Greek peninsula.

Xerxes, although secure in his power, still decided to send a delegation to consult the great Oracle at Delphi. It was thought that the predictions of the Oracle came directly from the Greek God, Apollo. Both Athens and Sparta also send delegations to Delphi to consult with the God.

Would this lead to war, or would compromise rule the day? What were Apollo’s predictions?

This novel is the third in the Great Persian Saga. The first book “Persia- Pride and Power,” explores the great King and the Empire that ruled most of the known world. The second book, “ Greece- the Rise of Democracy” outlines the parallel occurrences being born in Attica.
