Entre los años 499 y 449 a.C. se vivieron en Europa uno de los grandes conflictos entre Occidente y Oriente: las Guerras Médicas. Muchas de sus batallas, como la de Maratón o la valiente batalla de las Termópilas han pasado a la historia. Siglos después, en 2010, un escritor de novelas históricas, Christian Cameron, publica Killer of Men, primera novela de una saga centrada en el personaje histórico de Arimnesto de Platea que recrea las Guerras Médicas desde un punto de vista totalmente histórico y verídico. Este artículo pretende demostrar la gran labor de documentación, análisis y conocimiento detrás de la obra de Cameron y cómo, a día de hoy, las Guerras Médicas siguen teniendo una importancia vital.
(EN) During the years 499 and 449 B.C. took place in Europe one of the greatest conflicts between the oriental and the occidental world: the Greco-Persian Wars. Many of its battles, like Marathon or the brave battle of Thermopylae, have gone down in history. Centuries later, in 2010, a historical novels writer, Christian Cameron, publishes Killer of Men, the first title within a saga based on the historical character Arimnestos of Plateae that reproduces the Greco-Persian Wars from a completely historical and true point of view. This article aims to demonstrate the great work of documentation, analysis and knowledge behind the saga and how, nowadays, these wars are vitally important.
