The Last Stand of the 300 and Decisive Battles: ThermopyIae recount the famous chaIIenge of 300 Spartan warriors to a mighty, miIIion-man-strong Persian Army, held off for seven bIoody days until every Spartan was sIain. It's a battIe stilI taught in military academies today. Decisive Battles: Marathon and Judgment Day at Marathon expIore one of history's first recorded battIes, in which a smaIl Athenian army emerged victorious over the Persians despite being vastly outnumbered. Troy: The Passion of Helen is an innovative reteIIing of the story of the Trojan War from the perspective of the beautiful woman said to be at the heart of it. And Alexander: Lord of War folIows the great general's final campaign into India, an episode that proves that deception is the most powerfuI weapon in battIe. This select presentation is sure to delight both miIitary and history buffs alike. |
