Shades of Artemis recounts the life of Brasidas, Spartaas most audacious commander, from his upbringing in the Spartan military school called the Agoge to his induction into the ranks of the ancient worldas finest warriors. Overcoming petty jealousies and the politics of his own country, he finally rises to the rank of general and embarks on a daring mission to bring Athens to its knees and an end to the Peloponnesian War. With the death of Pericles, the politician Kleon becomes the architect of war policy in Athens, directing the strategy against Sparta.

In the last quarter of the fifth century BC, these three men would meet in battle on the plains of northern Greece and determine the course of Western Civilizationas first world war.
