'The armies met on the plain of Marathon. In later years, it was said the sound of ghostly fighting men could still be heard.'Ancient Greece was a land of heroes, gods, warriors and philosophers. But there was a darker side, too - an underworld of mythical beasts, where the dreaded Minotaur lurked in the shadows of a labyrinth, from which there was no escape . . . Ancient Greece is one instalment in an exciting series by award-winning author Peter Ackroyd.
