br. Nella memoria collettiva degli antichi, come nella memoria riflessa dei moderni, le grandi vittorie ottenute dai Greci a Maratona, alle Termopili e a Salamina hanno assunto un enorme valore simbolico. I 300 Spartani che, seppur vinti, riescono a sconfiggere i vincitori. I nemici storici, Sparta e Atene, che si alleano in nome di un bene superiore. Ma soprattutto i barbari, i nemici della libertà e della civiltà, che si infrangono di fronte alla resistenza di una minoranza unita e determinata a difendere i propri diritti. La narrazione e la celebrazione, in esaltanti scritture poetiche, delle epiche gesta della confederazione ellenica contro la soverchiante armata di terra e di mare approntata dal Gran Re Serse hanno fornito una serie di topoi letterari che hanno influenzato e continuano a influenzare il nostro immaginario. Tanto da costituire un patrimonio che riemerge costantemente ogniqualvolta la storia lo richieda: da Lepanto a Nelson vincitore a Trafalgar, dai testi incendiari del nostro Risorgimento fino alle canzoni della Resistenza. Un libro appassionato e divertente, alla riscoperta dei mille fili che ci legano al nostro passato più remoto.
