Description
Blending fiction, history, and classical Greek mythology, this debut novel demonstrates that the wisdom of the ancients is central to the modern search for personal and universal truths. When the ghost of Archimedes, the Greek mathematician, breaks the silence of the night, a lone figure of the modern era listens with rapt attention and is pulled into an adventure of discovery and exploration. From ancient symbolism to pilgrimages through worlds both ancient and modern to visions of the goddess as Nature, this remarkable tale shows how mankind continually seeks connection with its origin.
