Publisher's Summary

Aristides was the one true enemy of Themosticles the Great. His story is almost like that of Icarus, seeking to fly higher than his skill or status would allow. 

Listen as he climbs and falls and somehow - despite dying in charge of the treasury of Greece - does so in poverty.
