The Battle of Marathon started the Greek Persian Wars and could be the most decisive battle in world history. My novel Race to Marathon released Spring 2018.

What is petteia? It’s an ancient game similar to chess and checkers. Homer wrote that the Greek warriors Achilles and Ajax became so engrossed in a game of petteia during the Trojan War that they failed to notice the battle around them”. #racetomarathon #ancientgreecepersia

#racetomarathon From one reviewer: “This #novel is a vivid reminder of what can happen when tyranny and freedom collide, and how individual decisions can take on huge significance, either in defense of freedom, or against it.” A gem of a find for book clubs. #ancientgreecepersia

@Ritterton @greecepodcast @muttslikeme Battle of Salamis, arguably the most significant and decisive sea battle of all time and, also arguable, the greatest of all battles of all types in all of history.

The reference is to Artemisia, a female warship captain who fought for Xerxes. The answer to the question is that both the Athenians AND Xerxes were WRONG. In order to save herself and her ship from being rammed by the Greeks, Artemisia rammed a ship in her own (Persian) fleet...

@DClark_World I ended up going with #Ingramspark and honestly, it was for the ability to print hardcovers. I’m a sucker for a hardcover (even if no one is interested in purchasing one anymore!)
