The young leaders of Thebes retook their city from Sparta, but aimed for more. Nearby Athens had recovered much of the strength that enabled them to rule a Mediterranean empire. It is at this stage where our 3 powerful city states all aim for supremacy at the same time. Power seeks power, and advantageous alliances were to be forged with kingdoms to the north and east. But the rulers of those kingdoms had plans of their own. We’ll see a new generation of heroes emerge whose deeds live on 2400 years later. They had to contend with the likes of Agesilaus and Artaxerxes, the kings of Sparta and Persia who, like Walder Frey, stubbornly refused to die.
