It is set at the Persian capital of Susa, where a chorus of Persian elders awaits news of the vast Persian army that has been sent to conquer Greece. When a messenger arrives bearing news of a disastrous defeat at the Battle of Salamis, the Persians are plunged into despair and mourning.

Through its exploration of these timeless themes, this book offers valuable insights into the human condition and the destructive power of unchecked pride.
