Summary "A Victor of Salamis" by William Stearns Davis is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set in ancient Greece during the dramatic days of Xerxes' invasion, featuring notable historical figures such as Leonidas and Themistocles. The central storyline likely follows Glaucon, a beautiful and athletic young Athenian, as he contends with personal and external challenges amidst the brewing conflict with Persia. At the start of the story, the setting is established during the Isthmian Games, where Glaucon is a contender. The opening scenes vividly depict the excitement of the games and the public's anticipation of the competitions, particularly the pentathlon where Glaucon seeks to prove himself not only as an athlete but also to win back his father's affection. The narrative introduces a range of characters, including admirers and rivals, as well as hints of political tension, foreshadowing the larger conflict with the Persian forces. The atmosphere is filled with a blend of both competitive enthusiasm and the undercurrents of loyalty, honor, and the high stakes involved in both athletic and military contests.
