Sparta, 432 b.C. Aretes, an elder lacaedemonia, is going to remember the deeds that have marked her life. It will be her voice, calm and impassioned, what will describe the history of his family —that against his will, will see inside the intrigues of the period— and, through her, the way the spartans used to think and live, his laws and his habits, and will reveal the internal problems and the treasons in the city, the increasing enmity with Athens and the destruction of the earthquake that destroyed the city. She will write about the events that marked the future of her people: the mythical battle of the Termopilae and the definitive battle of Platea, when the Persians were finally expelled from Greece. Everything in an introspective, tender and critical story, in what we will find out stories of love and value, honour and loss. A history that talks about the bravest men that never have lived on the earth, immortalized by the memory of a woman.
