Description
Specifications
In the pre-Homeric times, the mythical king of Athens, Theseus, embarks on a sea journey that will take him to the land of the Tal Kirt, the "free people," a nation of proud and heroic women whom the Greeks called Amazons.
The Amazons, fearless in battle and united like a fist, harbored distrust for the Greeks and their arrogant civilization. Thus, when, according to one version of the myth, Queen Hippolyta falls in love with Theseus and leaves with him, the entire nation of Amazons rises up in anger.
In a stunning epic inspired by the mythical nation of the Amazons, Pressfield once again brings to life a world lost in the depths of time, conveying to the reader the fire and terror of war. Equally impressive is the way he reconstructs the nation of the Amazons, its people, rituals, and myths, its grandeur and "barbarism," through the frontal clash with "civilization" and the conflicting human instincts.
