Helot
One could see every fiber of muscle contract and relax as he marched forward. He was more lion than man. His front showed the scars of war, while his back told the story of slavery.
At the dawn of Xerxes's Persian invasion of Greece in 481 BC, one year before the Battle of Thermopylae, an orphaned boy is adopted by Sparta. Raised as a slave, he proves his worth and turns soldier. As his destiny unfolds through perilous conflicts, he is given the unlikely honor of representing his city-state at the Olympics.
