In the Ancient World, one army was feared above all others.
401 BC. The Persian king Artaxerxes rules an empire stretching from the Aegean
to northern India.
As many as fifty million people are his subjects.
His rule is absolute.
But the sons of Sparta are eager to play the game of thrones . . .
Battles can be won - or lost - with a single blow.
Princes fall. And when the dust of civil war settles, the Spartans are left
stranded in the heart of an enemy's empire, without support, without food and
without water.
Far from home, surrounded by foes, it falls to the young soldier Xenophon to
lead the survivors against Artaxerxes' legendary Persian warriors.
Based on one of history's most epic stories of adventure The Falcon of Sparta
masterfully depicts the ferocity and heroism that was the Ancient World.
