The height of Athens' splendor, the Age of Pericles, begins to fade, and Alexias, a prototype of the young man of his time, becomes a witness to the events that will lead to the Peloponnesian War. This novel places us in the final years of this long series of battles between Athenians and Spartans, offering a broad overview of the origins and causes of the decline of Hellenic civilization. With an agile and elegant style, Mary Renault provides a superb recreation of daily life in 5th-century BC Greece, featuring historical figures such as Socrates, Xenophon, Alcibiades, and Plato.
