Historical fiction

[Teleklos Archelaou]

There's a relatively recent novel about Pontos (that Mithridates novel - can't remember the name), but I have no idea if it is any good and even if it was it probably has very little about the actual historical kingdom of Pontos.

From the catalouge:

Kirwin, C. J.: Dawn of the Greatest Persian: The Childhood of Cyrus the Great
and
Finding the Persian Way: Cyrus the Great Travels in Ancient Persia

by the same author are classified as novels. No idea what these are.

Are you talking about "The Last King: Rome's Greatest Enemy" by Michael Curtis Ford?

Alfred Duggan´s ''He died old'' is much better. I don´t know if there´s a recent reprint of that book.

By the way...

I really dislike the cover of Ford´s book!

Thanks for the tips, I'll check out the ones about Cyrus. When you finish your book, TPC, I will surely buy it :-)
