The '300' in historical novels

Join Steven Pressfield for a discussion about the ‘300’ at Thermopylae

The sacrifice of the 300 at Thermopylae has gripped the imagination of writers and artists - and audiences! - for centuries. This session will discuss popular representations in historical fiction. Join us to find out how the story inspired Steven Pressfield to write the best-seller ‘Gates of Fire’, ‘a triumph in historical fiction’ (Kirkus Reviews). 

Discussants:

• Mr Steven Pressfield (author of ‘Gates of Fire’, ‘Tides of War’, ‘The Virtues of War’, ‘The Last of the Amazons’)
• Dr Petros Doukas (Mayor of Sparti)
• Dr Chrysanthi Gallou (University of Nottingham)
• Dr Lynn Fotheringham (University of Nottingham)
