«Lo scudo di Talos» is the historical novel by Valerio Massimo Manfredi, published by Mondadori in paperback (331 pages, in Italian).
In ancient Greece, Talos is a Spartan with a physical disability: abandoned by his family, he seems destined for a life as a shepherd, far from the warrior ideal of his brother Brithos. The advance of the Persians will alter that destiny, and the brothers will end up fighting side by side against the invader.
The work is part of the «I miti» collection by Mondadori; this edition is from 2002.
A read for fans of historical fiction, especially settings of ancient Greece.
Valerio Massimo Manfredi is an Italian historian, writer, essayist, archaeologist and journalist.
