What if history wasn’t a list of dates, but the ultimate road trip? Join Herodotus, the original investigative journalist, as he travels the ancient world to get the scoop on the Persian Wars. He asks the big questions, records the wildest stories, and captures the larger-than-life characters who shaped empires. From the 300 Spartans at the Hot Gates to the clash of fleets at Salamis, this is the action-packed, endlessly fascinating origin story of history itself.
