Description: "A tantalizing story . . . This is a beautifully told tale, and fans of novels about the great characters of Greek mythology will relish the story and eagerly await the final volume." - Booklist Praise for Valerio Massimo Manfredi "Remarkable . . . one of life's unalloyed pleasures." - The New York Times "Constructs his narrative with a methodical hand . . . His simple descriptions of rural life . . . capture a lost way of life." - The New Yorker "Manfredi's narration of ancient Greek history owes as much to John Ford and George Lucas as it does to Herodotus." - Kirkus Reviews "A masterful storyteller, carefully weaving in political and military history, realistically describing the brutality of hoplite warfare and vividly depicting the treachery and betrayal of kings." - Publishers Weekly
