An Epic of Ancient Greece
THE
BATTLE
— OF —
CHAMPIONS
by Mike Serna
Sparta and Argos lock horns in a battle of 300 champions. Winner takes all.
Chapter I
About the Book
"When two cities cannot agree, three hundred swords shall speak in their stead."
In the sun-scorched plains of the Peloponnese, two ancient powers stood divided by blood, pride, and the bones of forgotten kings. Rather than march full armies into ruinous war, Sparta and Argos struck a pact older than memory — three hundred of their finest sons, blade against blade, until only one side stood breathing beneath the Hellenic sun.
The Battle of Champions is Mike Serna’s roaring historical epic — a meticulously rendered descent into honor, brotherhood, and the brutal arithmetic of glory. It is Homer rewoven for the modern reader: visceral, poetic, and unforgiving.
The Chronicler
Michael Serna
Mike Serna is a historical novelist whose pen lingers in the dust of forgotten battlefields. Drawing from Herodotus, Thucydides, and a lifetime of obsession with the warrior cultures of antiquity, he writes with the cadence of an oral poet and the precision of a strategist.
“I do not write of war. I write of the men who, knowing better, walked toward it anyway.” — M.S.
