The Aegean, narrow straits, storm-dark skies: here, on decks slick with salt and blood, Greece's fate is settled. With Sparta hesitant, Athenian general Themistocles works to bind quarrelsome city-states into one fleet and sail against the vast Persian armada. Facing him is Artemisia, the ruthless naval commander driven by vengeance, serving Xerxes, the king who calls himself a god. Ferocious, choreographed sea combat, stylized carnage and a war fought as much over resolve and loyalty as over open water.
