Golden Age. Book 2. Empire

The strongest earthquake destroyed a large part of Sparta and led to a slave-helot uprising. The rulers of the state, which found itself on the brink of destruction, had no choice but to seek help from allies. But when a... large armed convoy arrived from Athens, the Spartans put their invited guests before a choice: either return immediately or perish in an unequal battle. Astonished and humiliated Athenians left, but the political scales in their country tipped towards those who wished to use Sparta's temporary decline to rid themselves of the southern threat once and for all, and then unite the eternally warring city-states into a mighty Greek empire. These reformers were led by Pericles, the famous politician, military leader, and state builder. However, he had to fight not only against the arrogant and aggressive Sparta. In his homeland, there were plenty of those who envied the glory of the "Lion of Attica" and desired his downfall. For the first time in Russian!
