Gifts of
the Gods: Iron and Bronze
Five men and women in
Ancient Greece are set on a dangerous journey of self-discovery during the
bitter conflict of the Peloponnesian War.
Fifty years after King
Leonidas of Sparta and his brave 300 fought to the death against Xerxes'
Persian hordes at Thermopylae, a long and bloody rivalry erupted between the
new superpowers of the era. The world of Ancient Greece in 480 B.C. was
evolving into a new landscape. The isolated, socialist regime that grew from
their king's sacrifice soon found itself at a vital crossroads with the
democratic empire of Athens. The Peloponnesian War was not just a battle for
political ideology but a brutal military campaign pitting the world's strongest
army against the most powerful navy that ever sailed the seas. The fallout from
this consummate struggle would change the course of human history forever.
Amidst the battlefields,
ordinary men and women continue to work together behind walled cities and open
farmland in order to survive. The Olympic festivals honor the gods with their
renowned athletic contests and one woman finds herself in a deadly gamble when
she must make an agonizing choice. A young helot slave longs for freedom while
a new wife imperils herself to stand by her husband and home. When a wealthy
aristocrat finds his world turned upside down, he must learn what true
sacrifice and honor are all about. A Spartan officer who has lived by a strict
code of tradition must discover new ways to cope in an unconventional war.
Five people from
different walks of life must adapt to their changing world while remaining true
to themselves. Who will survive the war and what will their lives be like when
it's over?
