The central character of this novel is Themistokles, an Athenian statesman of the fifth century B.C. who fought for democracy and endeavoured to unite the Greeks in resistance to the might of Persia. Although sure that his own policies were right, he was anxious for the good opinion of his friend and political opponent, Aristeides "the Just".
