Young Theras, born an Athenian, is taken to Sparta by a relative when his father is lost at war. He is forced to live like a Spartan, a brutal life with no pity for those who are not physically perfect and totally obedient to Spartan control. After enduring rigorous training and repeated cruel incidents, he escapes with a Perioikoi boy and heads for his beloved Athens. This captures the authentic flavor of ancient Greek culture in a story of adventure and excitement that fully illustrates the differences between the Athenian and Spartan cultures.

100th Anniversary Edition. Theras was a young boy of Athens, who led an idyllic life as he began school at age seven. Several years later, under dire circumstances, Theras was left with no other choice than to leave his beloved Athens and live under the protection of a distant relative in the rival city of Sparta. While lodging in the Spartan barracks, Theras honed his athletic and military skills alongside the other boys. But after seeing the Spartans' callous disregard for human life, he made plans to leave with his new friend Abas, a Perioikoi shepherd boy. Together they fought their way toward Athens, across many dangerous miles of rugged Greek terrain, constantly on the run from Spartan soldiers and those who would sell them into slavery. Unabridged.
