Ryan Holiday mentioned Gates of fire by Steven Pressfield 3 times

There's a line in um one of Steven Pressfield's books I love. Have you ever read his stuff? [...] You would love uh the War of Art or he has this novel called Gates of Fire that's amazing

— Ryan Holiday

This is one of my absolute favorite this is the last page of the original manuscript of Steven Pressfield's Gates of Fire which i think is the most important and beautiful page in the whole book but it has the epitaph of the spartans who died at thermopylae.

I love Steven [...] his new book is incredible, uh A Man At Arms, but Steven's been a mentor of mine since I started as a writer and I reread Gates of Fire at the beginning of the pandemic and I'm very glad i did.
