Description
A highly illustrated account of the most important naval campaign of the ancient era, in which an outnumbered and fragile Greek alliance secured the glorious future of 5th-century Athens.
In 480 BC, the Greek and Persian fleets met in a battle in the strait between Attica and the island of Salamis. Although outnumbered, the Greeks delivered a crushing victory that ended the Persian threat to Greece.
Salamis 480 BC draws on the findings of archaeological, technological, and naval research, as well as on original historical sources to vividly recreate one of the most significant maritime campaigns in world history.
