After its victory over Leonidas' 300, the
Persian Army under the command of Xerxes marches towards the major Greek
city-states. The Democratic city of Athens, first on the path of
Xerxes' army, bases its strength on its fleet, led by admiral
Themistocles. Themistocles is forced to an unwilling alliance with the
traditional rival of Athens, oligarchic Sparta whose might lies with its
superior infantry troops. But Xerxes still reigns supreme in numbers
over sea and land.
