Naval Strategy Shift

Themistocles recognizes that the Greeks cannot match the Persians in traditional battles due to their superior numbers and ships. Instead, he devises a cunning strategy to level the playing field, all while navigating the distrust among city-states. Meanwhile, Eurybiades, the Spartan commander, struggles with leadership, making poor decisions as Themistocles subtly guides him. An unexpected twist comes from Artemisia, a female advisor to the Persians, who senses trouble ahead despite the odds favoring her side.
