Acropolis - Philip Wooderson - Bog

'Wind of Hermes' continues the story begun in 'Curse of Athena'. Sailing with the Athenian fleet against the great city of Syracuse, Artabas has his own purpose, as well as a fateful task set him by Alcibiades. Nothing turns out as projected, leaving Artabas with no choice but to fight in the fateful battle. Surviving, he flees back to Athens, giving up on worldly ambition to help his friend Socrates. But war closes in on the city, with Plato's uncle, Critias, scheming with the Spartans to put an end to democracy and impose an 'enlightened republic'. Only by standing against him can Artabas solve the dark riddle of what began long ago, with the death of his girl back in Corinth.
