De valk van Sparta van Conn Iggulden toont een van de meest epische avonturen uit de geschiedenis tussen Perzische krijgers en Spartanen, vol heldhaftigheid, wreedheid en bloedvergieten. 401 BC. De Perzische Koning Artaxerxes regeert over het rijk van de Egeïsche zee tot Noord-India. Wanneer zijn zoon Cyrus, de jongere broer van de troonopvolger, aanspraak maakt op de troon, doet hij dat met een eliteleger van Spartanen aan zijn zijde. Ze werken als huursoldaten voor Perzische prinsen die graag willen vechten. Maar in de strijd worden de Spartanen omringd door hun vijanden, zonder steun, voedsel en water, en is het aan de jonge soldaat Xenophon om ze te leiden tegen de legendarische Perzische krijgers. ‘Iggulden vertelt een schitterend verhaal. Het tempo is zenuwslopend en het decor prachtig.’ The Times ‘Iggulden is een klasse apart wat betreft epische, historische fictie.’ Daily Mirror

Based on one of history’s most epic stories of adventure, The Falcon of Sparta masterfully depicts the ferocity, heroism, and savage bloodshed of the ancient world. Conn Iggulden, the New York Times bestselling author of the Emperor, Conqueror, and Wars of the Roses series, returns to the ancient world with a ferociously violent epic. 401 BC. In the ancient world, one army was feared above all others. The Persian king Artaxerxes rules an empire stretching from the Aegean to northern India. As many as fifty million people are his subjects. His rule is absolute. Though the sons of Sparta are eager to play the game of thrones . . . Yet battles can be won—or lost—with a single blow. Princes fall. And when the dust of civil war settles, the Spartans are left stranded in the heart of an enemy’s empire, without support, without food, and without water. Far from home, surrounded by foes, it falls to the young soldier Xenophon to lead the survivors against Artaxerxes’s legendary Persian warriors.

The commentary addresses linguistic as well as historical problems.

Despite the relevance of Eustathios to both Classical and Byzantine studies, no monograph and no collective volume in English has yet been devoted to his figure. This book attempts to fill in this gap by addressing the various facets of his output - above all his commentaries on Homer, Dionysius the Periegete, Pindar, and the Iambic Canon on the Pentecost; but also his historiographical work, his speeches and his theological production receive due attention. The book also tackles several aspects of Eustathios‘ style (proverbs, allusions, etc.), and the meaning of his work in the context of his historical moment. Addressed at specialists but also at graduate students with an interest in the reception of Classical antiquity and in Byzantine civilisation, the volume gathers papers by leading scholars from various countries, and it opens up new paths of research in several areas of philology and history, above all by interweaving and juxtaposing Eustathios‘ dimension as an Homerist and an immensely learned classical scholar with his capacities as an orator, a highly praised teacher, a rhetorically refined writer of Greek prose, an historian of his own turbulent times, and an archbishop who had to fulfil his everyday duties.

This volume explores a complex period in Byzantine history, the thirteenth century, from the Fourth Crusade to the recapture of Constantinople by exiled leaders from Nicaea. Here, specialist historians of the Byzantine successor states of the period, and of their key neighbours, examine the self-projection and interactions of these states, combining military history and diplomacy, commercial and theological contacts, and the experiences and self-description of individuals. This wide-ranging series of articles uses a great diversity of sources - Arabic, Armenian, Bulgarian, Greek, Latin, Persian and Serbian - to exploit the potential of the novel methodology employed and of prosopography as an additional historical tool of analysis.
