Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the last day of the siege of Thebes. In the heat of the night, Thiodamas leads a group of Greek warriors into the camp of the Thebans, who are under orders to remain calm and watchful under the influence of a god, the brother of their leader. Thiodamas and his men catch them completely off guard and indulge in a killing spree. However, they begin to grow exhausted and the advantage swings back to the Thebans, who are now awake and ready to attack. Amidst the carnage, two of Thiodamas's men are captured and killed. In their hands are the bodies of their leaders. Moved by the sight, Amphion, the leader of the Thebans, grants his enemies a truce to mourn and bury their dead. Despite the brutality and tragedy, the book also focuses on the tragedy of the lives lost on both sides of the battle.
