Nearly 2,500 years ago, in 480 BC, at a bleak pass in a far-
flung corner of eastern Greece, three hundred Spartan warriors faced the army of King Xerxes of Persia, a massive
force rumoured to be over a millión strong. Their orders were simple: to delay the enemy for as long»as possible while
the main Greek armies mobilized.
For six days the Spartans held the invaders at bay. In the final hours, their shields broken, swords and spears shattered,
they fought with their bare hands and teeth before being overwhelmed. It was a battle that would become synonymous with extraordinary courage, heroism and self-sacrifice.
Its name was Thermopylae.
Gates ofFire telis the epic story of those legendary Spartans: the men and women who helped shape our history and have themselves become as immortal as their gods.
^Breathtakingly brilliant a work of rare genius. Savour it!'
