The battle of Thermopylae was at its broadest a clash of civilizations. This work re-examines a crucial act in one of the greatest dramas in middle eastern history: the invasion of Europe from the 'east' by Great King Xerxes of Persia, 150 years before Alexander the Great famously invaded the Asiatic Persian empire.
