Pericles is nineteen, and the author writes like a nineteen year old would act and think. As Pericles ages, I expect the author will write likewise. I could be fooled thinking like this, but in past experiences reading Mr. Iggulden this is the tack he uses. To say the main character is not flat would have saved my words.

Athens and Sparta and lesser city states would fight each other until the Persians came to conquer as much of Greece as possible, then Sparta and Athens would join in routing out the Persians.

Pericles was injured in hand to hand combat, but the author kept the action going. When he felt a sword hit bone and a hit to his leg caused his blood to spurt, the mother in me wanted to stop the fighting so that I could asses his injuries. Am I alone with this emotional reading?
Being physically fit paid off for Pericles. He could run rings around the other combatants and never tire.
