VASILIKI
STATHES
The stories in this collection transport the reader to the worlds of ancient Greece, the Roman era, and the Byzantine Empire. Kings and emperors, ordinary people and soldiers move through these pages, weaving tales filled with intrigue, adventure, mystery, and romance.
What most distinguishes the writers featured in this collection is their shared ability to achieve what Hugh Walpole called the “double art” — the power to erase the distance of time while simultaneously recreating an entire historical age.
