Salamina

The depiction of the Battle of Salamis felt both authentic and emotionally charged. I'm curious what inspired the balance between historical accuracy and creative interpretation.

The characters' personal struggles added a layer of depth to the historical events. How did the author approach developing these personal narratives within such a grand scale?

The battle is a pivotal moment in history, but I wonder what led to its selection as the focal point for this novel. Was it the drama, the symbolism, or something else?
