Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, which the author began writing in Athens, Greece in 429 BC, tells the story of a young woman from Miletus named Daphne. When a plague devastates her city, a mysterious group of Egyptians offer her safe passage to their unknown country. Despite their leader's oath to return her to Greece should she wish it, Daphne quickly finds that the Egyptians have sinister intentions for her and her fellow travelers. Her narrative explores the conflicts between Greek and Egyptian culture, as well as the complicated role of gender in ancient civilizations. This fictionalized account sets the stage for real-world historical events, as the Peloponnesian War is waged between Athens and Sparta, and the glory days of Ancient Greece give way to a changing world order.
