About this book - The Greco-Persian Wars

This is a reissue, with a new introduction and an update to the bibliography, of the original edition, published in 1970 as The Year of Salamis in England and as Xerxes at Salamis in the U.S.

The long and bitter struggle between the great Persian Empire and the fledgling Greek states reached its high point with the extraordinary Greek victory at Salamis in 480 B.C. The astonishing sea battle banished forever the specter of Persian invasion and occupation. Peter Green brilliantly retells this historic moment, evoking the whole dramatic sweep of events that the Persian offensive set in motion. The massive Greek victory, despite the Greeks' inferior numbers, opened the way for the historic evolution of the Greek states in a climate of creativity, independence, and democracy, one that provided a model and an inspiration for centuries to come.

Green's accounts of both Persian and Greek strategies are clear and persuasive; equally convincing are his everyday details regarding the lives of soldiers, statesmen, and ordinary citizens. He has first-hand knowledge of the land and sea he describes, as well as full command of original sources and modern scholarship. With a new foreword, The Greco-Persian Wars is a book that lovers of fine historical writing will greet with pleasure.

Before Memmo my notes were scattered across PDFs. Now a workspace pulls everything into one place — I see exactly what's still left to study.

Memmo's summaries are gold before exams. I don't have to re-read 800 pages two weeks before — just the important parts.

The AI chat has saved me the night before an exam more than once. I just keep asking until I get it — no waiting on a study group to reply.

The quizzes hit exactly what I need to know. Memmo tracks what I get stuck on — so I only practice what's worth it.

Flashcards with spaced repetition are magic. Memmo knows when I'm about to forget something and brings it back.

The AI podcasts are my favorite. I listen on my way to school and get a recap without sitting at a computer.
