Books set in Ancient Greece
Books set in Ancient Greece
Books are like time machines when you can head back to Ancient Greece at the turn of a page. Five to take a look at:
Babylonia
Ancient Assyria, 9th century BC: The Queen who rose from nothing – and changed everything .
Atalanta
The heroic story of the only female Argonaut.
Atalanta leaves her forest to join Jason’s band of Argonauts. But can she carve out her own place in the legends in a world made for men?
Elektra
The House of Atreus is cursed. A bloodline tainted by a generational cycle of violence and vengeance. This is the story of three women, their fates inextricably tied to this curse, and the fickle nature of men and gods.
There’s Clytemnestra – the sister of Helen, wife of Agamemnon, Cassandra the Princess of Troy and Elektra, the youngest daughter of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon.
Ariadne
A mesmerising retelling of the ancient Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur.
And whilst not exactly Ancient Greece, this is historical Greece harking back to earlier times
The Island
1950s/60s: A fictional yet vivid account of events surrounding the lives of those suffering from leprosy in Crete during the Second World War.
