A Victor of Salamis: A Tale of the Days of Xerxes, Leonidas and Themistocles

"A really moving narrative, with figures of flesh and blood in it, and a broader vitality that touches the reader's imagination. The thing is astonishingly human... and as unaffectedly dramatic as though he had drawn his material from the modern world." --- The New York Tribune "The novel reproduces Greek life, and the events of the Persian invasion brilliantly and with correctness... Mr. Davis has even surpassed his previous efforts in highly imaginative work." --- Boston Budget At the time of original publication in 1907, William Stearns Davis was Professor of Ancient History, University of Minnesota.
