Phoenix: A Father, a Son, and the Rise of Athens

Fifty years before its golden age, Athens was just another city-state in Sparta’s shadow. David Stuttard tells the story of the father and son who lifted Athens. Miltiades defeated the Persians at Marathon; Cimon drove them from Greece, revitalized the war-torn city, and moderated its foreign policy, creating the conditions for Athenian greatness.
