Themistocles
Manage episode 292246763 series 2871272
Themistocles saved Athens in its darkest hour, yet he dies in the Persian empire, the inveterate enemy of Athens. Is Themistocles a patriot or a traitor?
Important People
- Aristides - Themistocles's main political rival and a man he has to recall from exile to help him fight Salamis. Plutarch considers Aristides to be one of the noblest Athenians who ever lived, and so their lives give us two different perspectives on almost the same time period.
- Eurybiades - The Spartan general in charge of the combined Greek forces at Artemisium and Salamis.
Important Places
- Marathon
- Artemisium
- Thermopylae
- Salamis
