Jane’s Reviews > Leonidas of Sparta: A Peerless Peer > Status Update

Grain convoy. Sea battle w/ Phoenician triremes.

Impressions of Athens by Leonidas and a fellow Spartan soldier. Gorgo, his niece, a tomboy. Unhappy marriage.

Leonidas's first command: a small group. Story is concentrating on his personal life.

Baptism of blood -- first combat experience for Leonidas. Good description of his inner state while facing Argives. "Farm of Horrors".

Leonidas on active duty.
