An epic novel from the master of historical fiction, author of ALEXANDER: GOD OF WAR 'Brilliantly evoked' Sunday Times Arimnestos of Plataea is a man who has seen and done things that most men only dream about. Sold into slavery as a boy, he fought his way to freedom - and then to everlasting fame: standing alongside the Athenians at the Battle of Marathon where the Greeks crushed the invading Persians. Sometimes, however, a man's greatest triumph is followed by his greatest sorrow. Returning to his farm, Arimnestos finds that his wife Euphoria has died in childbirth, and in an instant his laurels turn to dust. But the gods are not finished with Arimnestos yet. With nothing left to live for, he throws himself from a cliff into the sea, only to be pulled by strong arms from death's embrace. When he awakes, he finds himself chained to an oar in a Phoenician trireme. And so begins an epic journey that will take Arimnestos and a motley crew of fellow galley slaves to the limits of their courage, and beyond the edge of the known world, in a quest for freedom, revenge - and a cargo so precious it's worth dying for.

The age of the heroes has past. Odysseus, Heracles and Theseus have all been committed to the earth. Still warmed by the embers of the Persian and Peloponnesian Wars, the world does not sit still. In Greece, the city-states manoeuvre against the Spartan hegemony. To the east, the Persians fight among themselves and to the south, the Egyptians fight for freedom. On the Italian peninsula, Rome readies itself to rise and far to the west, Carthage builds its dominant empire. Not one inch of earth is untouched by war and nowhere is more accustomed to war than Greece. It is there that war is coming again and war does not know age.Alopeias of Thebes is still but a boy. He still learns from his tutor and trains at the gymnasium and he dreams not of war, but of writing plays. Yet that boy will become first a man and then a hero. The last hero. For Alopeias, despite his age, must go to war with the Spartans and so begin his adventures across the Mediterranean, the likes of which were last seen by Odysseus on his journey back from Troy. Relying on his own talents, the men around him and on the sea-god Poseidon's favour, Alopeias will face barbarian kings, horse lords and famed generals and fight against entire cities and countries. He will face the barren wastes of African deserts and the stormy seas of the deep Mediterranean. He will have to struggle against his own limitations and inexperience to find a way to lead men. If he wishes to ever see his home again and to achieve the glories that are promised to him, Alopeias must first overcome every obstacle, physical or mental, no matter how daunting, and these journeys will transform a boy into a man, a follower into a leader and a citizen into a hero with epic tales from across the known world.'The Spears of Poseidon' is the first part of an epic series that will follow the final hero of the Ancient Greek world. Packed with action and breath-taking battle scenes while weaving sentiment and emotion into a young man's coming of age, 'The Spears of Poseidon' will see noble Alopeias, the 'Hero of Haliartus', defy his own expectations, establish himself and become the renowned general he needs to be to topple the famed Spartans and lead his city to greatness. The gods on Olympus have decided that Alopeias of Thebes should be the final hero of Ancient Greece. In 'The Spears of Poseidon', cities will rise and fall, men will live and die and a hero will be made, one that will rise to the top of the world.

In this masterly interpretation of narrative sequence in the Iliad, Keith Stanley not only sharpens the current debate over the date and creation of the poem, but also challenges the view of this work as primarily a celebration of heroic force. He begins by studying the intricate ring-composition in the verses describing Achilles' shield, then extends this analysis to reveal the Iliad as an elaborate and self-conscious formal whole. In so doing he defends the hypothesis that the poem as we know it is a massive reorganization and expansion of earlier "Homeric" material, written in response to the need for a stable text for repeated performance at the sixth-century Athenian festival for the city's patron goddess. Stanley explores the arrangement of the poem's books, all unified by theme and structure, showing how this allowed for artistically satisfying and practically feasible recitation over a period of three or four days. Taking structural emphasis as a guide to poetic discourse, the author argues that the Iliad is not a poem of "might"--as opposed to the Odyssean celebration of "guile"--but that in advocating social and personal reconciliation the poem offers a profound indictment of a warring heroic society. Originally published in 1993.

The God of the Seas doesn’t believe in soul-love. He rules his kingdom with an iron fist. When whalers try to kill his creatures he lets his anger get the best of him. Saving the woman diver unleashes a chain of events and for once in his existence Poseidon doesn’t know how to cope with the strong-willed female who doesn’t think much of him. Soki can’t believe her luck. Determined to make her way in the world by using her brain she knows she doesn’t have the looks to attract men like the man who kissed her back to the land of the living. Passion and friendship are two things Poseidon never thought to encounter in a female, let alone a mortal human woman. A taste of Soki’s love is not enough and the God of the Seas will do all he can to convince her he’s worth dying for.

Alexanor is a man who has seen too much blood. He has left the sword behind him to become a healer in the greatest sanctuary in Greece, turning his back on war. But war has followed him to his refuge at Epidauros, and now a battle to end the freedom of Greece is all around him. The Mediterranean superpowers of Rome, Egypt and Macedon are waging their proxy wars on Hellenic soil, turning Greek farmers into slaves and mercenaries. When wounded soldier Philopoemen is carried into his temple, Alexanor believes the man's wounds are mortal but that he is not destined to die. Because he knows Philopoemen will become Greece's champion. Its last hero. The new Achilles.
