Mika Waltari
The civilization of the ancient fifth century BC Mediterranean blossoms into life in Mika Waltari's outstanding historical novel of love, war, greed, and spiritual tumult.
Beginning in Ionia in 498 BC with the burning of the Lydian capital, Sardis, the story of Lars Turms sweeps across the Mediterranean to Delphi, Athens, then Sicily, before finally ending in Rome and ancient Etruria. Along the way, we encounter Greek warriors and pirates, Carthaginian merchants and princes, strange priests and priestesses, and trading centers, great and small. It is a fascinating glimpse of a world on the verge of wrenching change. Few cultures will survive unscathed.
With Greece on the cusp of war against mighty Persia in the East and wealthy Carthage in the West, the peoples of a dozen cultures hold their breath in anticipation. The old ways will not survive the probing, skeptical minds of the Greeks, and Lars Turms' destiny is to accommodate himself and his people to altering circumstances far different from anything he could have possibly anticipated.
This exciting novel plays out on the background of actual historical events and real personalities. In order to enhance your enjoyment, we urge listeners to access the included PDF map of the ancient Mediterranean and the brief historical explanation.

narrated by Mr. Charlton Griffin whose sonorous, even flowing, fluid voice both relaxes and invites one in to listen to the story. The chapters are a bit over an hour each, so it actually does take a few days at the very least to finish it and it's not modernly action-packed in the way most of us are probably used to, but for those of us who enjoy a great story set in an ancient historical setting told by an excellent storyteller, it's worth it.
I am rather easy to please, so to me this was 5 stars across the board.
An excellent story set in ancient history

What was most disappointing about Mika Waltari’s story?
I was surprised how I felt about this book after listening to it. I loved the Roman and the Egyptian, that being said, I wasn't happy with the story line. The performance was great and as historical novels go, it was worth the credit.Any additional comments?
As a Waltari fan it's a must listen.Surprised fan......
