Thousands of years ago, Herodotus and Plutarch immortalized Spartan society in their histories; but today, little is left of the ancient city or the social structure of this momentous culture. One of the few antiquarian marks of the civilization that has survived lies scores of miles away from Sparta, at a narrow Greek mountain pass called Thermopylae. It was there that three hundred of Sparta's finest warriors held back the invading millions of the Persian empire and valiantly gave their lives in the selfless service of democracy and freedom. A simple engraved stone marks their burial ground. Inspired by this stone and intrigued by the lore of Sparta, author Steven Pressfield has brilliantly combined scholarship with storytelling. Narrated by the sole survivor of the epic battle--a squire in the Spartan heavy infantry--Gates of Fire is a mesmerizing depiction of one man's indoctrination into the Spartan way of life and death, and of the legendary men and women who gave the culture an immortal gravity. Culminating in the electrifying and horrifying epic battle, Gates of Fire weaves history, mystery, and heartbreaking romance into a literary page-turner that brings the Homeric tradition into the twenty-first century.Binding Type: Hardcover

So Pretty
Color: B
A beautiful necklace for my beautiful daughter. She is 12 years old and starting to appreciate pretty jewelry rather than fun/colorful/kid’s jewelry; BUT - she’s 12!!! No real gold or fancy jewelry just yet! Gifts like this perfectly hit the mark right now. It looks beautiful, feels fun and trendy but more mature, has held up well to the wear and tear of a 12 year old, and is the perfect size for her at this time. She loves anything with her initial on it so she, of course, adores this necklace. She wears it several times a week. She has occasionally worn this necklace to bed on accident and it has not broken or gotten damaged in any way. All in all, I recommend this cute necklace as a beautiful gift!
