Reviews
Makes an excellent companion with their Famous Greeks book.





Epaminondas
Well written; More like a story than history.





A LibriVox Listener
This was a fun piece to listen to. Although it was historical it read more like fiction than anything. Most readers were pleasant. Good lessons to follow.

I want to be able to listen to the book but it won’t listen let me listen to it until I review it. Hard to review it if I can’t listen.
great for the nle!

These stories sounds like fairy tales. Not a historian so not sure how accurate they are.
Only Caesar and Nero are interesting

Greece is much more interesting.

I enjoyed the information. It left me wanting more though.
I love Roman history and ancient warfare.
