      <image:caption>Miltiades the Younger (right) - the son of a renowned Athenian Olympic chariot-racer Cimon, and a powerful tyran of the Thracian town Chersonese (Gallipoli Peninsula). After most of Ionia became subject to Darius I, he was forced to acknowledge Persian rule. However, as soon as the Ionian Revolt broke out in 499, he change sides and became one of the key Greek leaders of the conflict. He survived the disastrous battle at Lade and in 493 fled to Athens, where he became one of the ten strategoi. As such, he was tasked to lead the Athenians, along nine of his fellow generals. It was he who devised and led the victorious charge at Marathon. No, not Themistocles, as some movies would like us to believe... Aristides the Just (left) - the ancient historian Herodotus cited Aristides as "the best and most honourable man in Athens", and he received similarly reverent treatment in Plato's Socratic dialogues. He was an Athenian statesman representing the aristocratic party, one of the most fervent rivals to Themistocles. At the Battle of Marathon, he was one of the strategoi, leading the Antiochis tribe , and as such, commanding Nikephoros and his oikos.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The two Persian brothers, Arynam and Behnam, stand at the opposing side of the Greek characters I presented in the previous posts. These are fictional characters, so no historical evidence is now involved. Arynam (left) - the older of the two, distinguished himself in the Scythian campaign (513 BC), where his superior horse riding and archery skills brought him the attention of not only lord Artaphernes but also Darius, the King of kings himself. As such, he was rewarded with large estates in Lydia and also the role of a personal bodyguard to Artapherenes, the satrap of that region. Constantly at his lord's side, he watches first hand the events of the Ionian Revolt unfold. Arynam is also a friend to Nikephoros, having great respect for the Athenian from their trade dealings. The ultimate clash of the two at the Battle of Marathon will be the focus of the Heroes of Bronze story. Behnam (right) - brother to Arynam and a former part of the Immortals, he is an elite warrior, skilled with all kinds of weaponry. He specializes in archery, but when arrows fail, he does not hesitate to get close and personal. Upon his brother's promotion to the role of Artaphernes' bodyguard, he was called to join him in the service and given part of Arynam's estates in Lydia. Wherever their lord goes, they follow - and that will bring them not only to the battlefields of Naxos, Sardis and Ephesus, but also to the bay of Marathon.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Darius the Great (front), the third king of the Achaemenid line, ruled the Persian empire at the time when the story of Heroes of Bronze takes place (around 500 BC). He was not just a great conqueror but also an able ruler, organizing the multi-cultural empire in effectively governed provinces (satrapies). He placed skilled governors in charge of the many satrapies and administered unified coinage, allowing his lands to flourish. For almost 40 years he led Persia with strength and wisdom, the only specs on his unblemished record being the indecisive Scythian campaign (513 BC) and the failed invasion of Greece (490 BC) leading to the events of the Battle of Marathon. Darius the Great died soon after his return from this campaign. Artaphernes (back) was a Persian prince, a brother to Darius the Great, and as such, he was given great administrative powers. He ruled over Lydia as a satrap, overseeing most of the region, where the Ionian revolt broke out. Up until that point, he was lenient with the Greeks, trying to reach a settlement and mutual friendship. After the sacking of Sardis (498 BC), the capital city of his own satrapy, the rebels finally invoked his wrath. From that point on, he moved against the Greeks with merciless efficiency, pacifying the uprising in a matter of few years.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Heroes of Bronze: Journeys Teaser - Philippos</image:title>
      <image:caption>494 BC They carried grave news to Athens. The alliance of Ionians has fallen. Miletus was lost, burnt to the ground, its people killed or enslaved by the Persians. The great naval battle of Lade ended up in a disaster, ending the Ionian revolt. Philippos took what ships he could save and headed back to mainland Greece, to join Nikephoros. With heavy heart, he watched the approaching shores of Attika. How long before the Persians get here too? How long before Athens burn?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Heroes of Bronze: Journeys Teaser - Nikephoros</image:title>
      <image:caption>491 BC Before the sacrifices began, he allowed himself a short private moment with the god. He knelt beneath Zeus’ stern bronze gaze. The thoughts of prayer faded from his mind, replaced once again by the worries of impending war. The Persian beast was finally moving. One by one, the cities of Ionia either fell or submitted to Darius’ might. ‘Give us strength, in the days to come,’ was all that his worried thoughts were able to repeat, over and over. ‘Give us strength, to stop what’s coming.’</image:caption>

      <image:caption>490 BC ‘Look!’ came a hopeful shout from the front of the line. ‘The ships have come!’ After a few moments, even Behnam could now spot the magnificent sails towering above the dunes. With that view came a gust of wind, with an unmistakable smell of sea. His heart soared. Traversing the desert for many days, he and his Persian company finally reached the shores of Cilicia. There, part of his majesty’s magnificent fleet already awaited them, ready to load warriors and horses alike. Under the scorching sun they prepared to set sail. First, to punish the rich Rhodians, then onward, across the islands of the Aegean, towards the distant shores of Greece. The great campaign to bring the defiant Greeks to heel was about to begin.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Heroes of Bronze: Journeys Teaser - Penelope</image:title>
      <image:caption>September, 490 BC They left the gates of Athens on the 10th day of Metageitnion, marching towards Marathon as fast as they could. Ten thousand warriors, almost the whole armed might of the Athenians joined the march, along with a thousand loyal Plateans. They headed East, towards the smokes rising above Attika. Chalkis and Eretria has already been destroyed. Now it was Athens’ turn. Penelope watched them disappear in the distance, covered by the dust raised by thousands of bronze-clad feet. Her husband Nikephoros and the whole fighting oikos, marching to meet their uncertain fate on the plains of Marathon. ‘Come now, my lady,’ she heard the voice of old Leukas, bidding her to return to the city. ‘Just a little longer, Leukas,’ she shook her head. At that moment, she felt like a little girl again, being left alone by the whole world. ‘Just a while longer.’</image:caption>

      <image:title>Heroes of Bronze: Journeys Teaser - Arynam</image:title>
      <image:caption>September, 490 BC The mighty fleet anchored in the shadow of the cape Kynosura, in the seeming safety of Marathon. Safety from sea storms, at least. Unloading the mass of his Majesty’s forces took several days and new triremes kept coming. A wealth of nations joined the King of kings’ call. Chief among them, the Medes, the Sakai, and a noble cavalry of the Persians. The result was a ever-present chaos and confusion. A growing unease settled in Arynam’s heart. The Athenians weren’t what he expected. Unlike the other Greeks he met, these did not turn tail and run, to hide behind their walls. They marched out to meet them, right there, on the fields of Marathon. ‘Quickly! Get off the ships!’ he shouted impatiently to a group of Sakai, constantly eyeing the western horizon. He knew they could arrive at any hour now. And his lord Datis would not be pleased, if the troops failed to muster before the enemy got here.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Heroes of Bronze: Journeys Teaser - Arrival</image:title>
      <image:caption>September, 490 BC They marched through the night, desperate to cut off the Persians from the main road to Athens. With a sigh or relief, on the first light of a new day, they arrived above the vast fields of Marathon. There, they found the gathered masses of the enemy, still unprepared to meet them. ‘Look at them,’ gasped Philippos, scowling at the sheer number of Persians. ‘Like an angry beehive.’ ‘Good. More of them for me to plough,’ came Hermogenes’ rough voice from the slits of his heavy Corinthian helmet. ‘I always suspected you were crazy, Herm,’ Chalcon chuckled, trying to hide signs of fear in his voice. ‘Now I know.’ ‘We’re going to need a lot of crazy to fight this,’ growled Aegeus. ‘Save it for the Persians.’ They succeeded. They barred the way to the city, stranding the enemy army on the beach. Now, all they had to do was hold their ground - and wait for Datis to accept their challenge.</image:caption>

On behalf of his sick father, an up-and-coming Athenian trierarch sails the Aegean Sea to gain much-needed experience and to represent his family in their many trade dealings. His name is Nikephoros, and at 28 years of age, he is eager to make a name for himself in Ionia. Soon, however, he finds the world of the Aegean islands to be more complicated than he ever imagined...</image:caption>

Its effects can still be felt across the entirety of Greece. The city itself is in turmoil, encroached upon on all sides by enemies.

      <image:caption>Beyond the borders of the Persian empire, in the wild plains of the Balkans, the Scythians roamed, fierce nomads who answered to no king. By 513 BC, Darius, the King of Kings, could tolerate them no longer. With an army of 80,000 at his command, he marched north, subduing Thrace and pressing into Scythia, determined to bring these free warriors to heel. Among the gathered host, two young men were destined to meet—an encounter that would shape the fate of nations.</image:caption>
