Herodotus tells us
that not all of the three hundred Spartan warriors died at the hands of
Xerxes, King of the Persians, in the battle of the Thermopylae: two were
saved bringing a life-saving message back to the city . . .
This is the saga of a Spartan family, torn apart by a
cruel law that forces them to abandon one of their two sons - born lame
- to the elements. The elder son, Brithos, is raised in the caste of
the warriors, while the other, Talos, is spared a cruel death and is
raised by a Helot shepherd, among the peasants.
They live out their story in a world dominated by
the clash between the Persian empire and the city-states of Greece - a
ferocious, relentless conflict - until the voice of their blood and of
human solidarity unites them in a thrilling, singular enterprise.
