The elderly Persian ambassador Cyrus Spitama, settled in Pericles' Athens, recalls in his memory the fifth century BC and the encounters he had with decisive figures of the ancient world. Love, war, philosophy and adventure are interwoven in this recreation of an era that established physical and philosophical principles with lasting influence on Western thought.

For readers of historical fiction interested in classical antiquity and the philosophical thought of Greece and Persia.
Eugene Luther Gore Vidal was an American writer and public intellectual known for his cynical epigrammatic wit. His novels and essays criticized the social and sexual norms he perceived as driving American life. Vidal was heavily involved in politics, and unsuccessfully sought office twice as a Democratic Party candidate, first in 1960 to the United States House of Representatives, and later in 1982 to the United States Senate.
