ATHENS, 480 B.C.

With every day that passes, tensions ratchet higher. For months the news has been apocalyptic: a vast army, rumoured to be a million men strong, assembling across the sea, drawn from every nation of the Persian Empire; troops on the march, so many they drink rivers dry; a fleet of warships, synchronised to shadow them at sea, gliding like sharks up past the coast of Asia, hugging Thracian shores, turning their prows southwards for the kill.

A delegation of Athenians has recently returned with news from Apollos oracle at Delphi that is both chilling and perplexing: Ares, god of war will shatter many high-towered citadels and torch the sanctuaries of gods, who even now stand sweating, trembling in fear as over rooftops black blood surges. Athens will fall, yet hope remains: her people have been granted one inviolable stronghold, their wooden wall; trust this and Athens will be saved.

But which wall does Apollo mean? Opinion is divided. Someolder men, the more conservativemaintain it is the stockade built around the heights of the Acropolis, Athenas sacred rock, the stony heart of Athens.
