The Spartans have fallen, and Athens will burn. King Xerxes has one wish: to kill democracy in the cradle. General Themistocles knows that Athens is plagued by tyranny, and he knows that the voice of the people must prevail. The time for war calls for Sparta and Athens to unite... The three-hundred Spartans sacrificed themselves at Thermopylae so that the rest of Greece could muster the military resolve to face the advancing Persian hordes. Xerxes' military advisor, Artemisia, is ready to face the Greeks, but she knows that the Athenians have a strategic advantage at sea. Themistocles and Gorgo must join forces in order to unite Greece in the face of a common enemy, an enemy who threatens to destroy the foundation of freedom. A united Greece takes a stand against the might of the Persian empire.
