He whipped the sea for disobeying him, and then he lost. Jacob Abbott tells the life of the Persian king who inherited the largest empire on earth and threw it at Greece: the bridge of boats across the Hellespont, the vast army, Thermopylae, Salamis, and the long humiliating road home. You will discover Abbott's clear, vivid narrative style at its best, moral without being preachy. Absolute power, meeting its limit. Press play and cross the strait.
