Summary
"Set in Ancient Greece, this inspiring story tells of a slave girl who became champion in the Heraean Games (the girls' and women's version of the Olympic Games) in the great stadium at Olympia. Born in Corinth, abandoned as a baby, she becomes a nameless slave until her strength and skill are noticed by her owner, a famous athlete. Her spirit and courage take her to victory in the Games, to freedom and to fame."--Provided by publisher
