MERCENARY OF THE GODS
Memoirs of a Greek in Service to Judah and Egypt
A
friendly introduction to the complexities of the Archiac period in
Greece, Egypt, the kingdoms of Isreal and Judah, and the successive
empires of Assyria and Babylonia, set within a "first person narrative"
fleshed out with plausible personal details of one lifetime--the life
of a Greek mercenary"borrowed" from a well-known inscription at Abu
Simbel in Lower Nubia. The reader is prefectly free to treat this
book as a "historical novel" simply by reading the text and ignoring
the endnotes and other editorial material.
