Adrift, rudderless and surrounded by enemies, Sparta is a third-rate backwater, the glorious stand of the 300 little more than a legend shrouded in the mists of the centuries. Her corrupt leaders are ruthless in attacking any perceived threat, as their murder of Agiatis' reformist-minded husband, all too clearly demonstrates. Forced to marry the killer's son, Agiatis is silenced, or so it seems, but her enemies are wrong. Biding her time, she opens Cleomenes' eyes to the desperateness of the situation. After becoming king and trying to convince the powerful council chief Damochares of the need for change, he is instead threatened with death. Too weak to challenge him, Cleomenes is forced to take action after learning that Damochares is about to conclude a deal with a foreign warlord that will trade five centuries as a sovereign nation for "protection."
