A fantastic historical fiction of the life and times of the great Alcibiades.
Sparta and Athens. The Peloponnesian War. The precipitation of the fall of what might have been a true Grecian Empire to rival Rome.
And it all ends with Pressfield's usual poignant style of conclusion that leaves you wistful for a different age:
“I, too, was held by this apparition, unable to turn apart until he had vanished along the avenue of holm oak, whose blossom yields that scarlet dye which ever colors the soldier’s cloak of war.”
