Beautiful and Good - Paperback

by Alexei Mironov (Author)

Swirling around the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BCE-where the Thebans ended Spartan power forever-
Beautiful and Good tells the story of two historical figures:

Epaminondas, the great general-philosopher, and Asopichos, a gifted athlete and warrior of the Sacred Band.

This is not the tale of a single hero's triumph.
It is a braided song of downfall and transfiguration, of divine justice and sacred union.

One will break himself through arrogance.
One will save himself through love.

For readers of Mary Renault, it offers:
- The psychological cost of pride
- And the redemptive journey toward true love
