Acerca de esta escucha
On a warm September night in 490 BC, Kalliope slips out of the city of Sparta and begins a journey to Athens under cover of night. She’s being hunted. She’s escaping the onerous Spartan marriage custom of young men kidnapping their intended brides. Neither Kalliope nor her widowed father, legendary Spartan fighter Andronicus, approve of this custom.
She sets off with a sword and provisions, headed, she hopes, to freedom. After an eventful journey, Kalliope arrives in Athens just in time to witness the mobilization of Athens’ citizen army to meet the overwhelmingly superior forces of the of the Medo-Persian empire, which will face Athenian hoplites on the plain of Marathon.
What role will Kalliope play in this battle? And what of the young man who hunts her? And of a second man, an Athenian mercenary, with whom she has fallen in love?
The Spartan’s daughter is a thoroughly researched historical novel in which the complex world of Ancient Athens -her customs, her religious sensibilities, her budding artistic brilliance- spring to life in spare, vivid prose which propels the story forward to its stunning conclusion.
