The Oar of Odysseus by Richard M Bank Pdf

Penelope Bauer sips on a margarita, celebrating her acceptance into the graduate Classics program at Boston University, unaware that she will soon become the central player in a bold scheme to save Western Civilization from itself. Of course, like any intelligent young woman in the dark days of 2018, she sees the symptoms of decay all around her, and the waning of the original values of ancient Greece. The good life for most Americans has become synonymous with the individual drive for wealth and status, acquisitiveness displacing the quest for the classical virtues of wisdom, courage, justice, and the like. Indeed, the small liberal arts college from which she will graduate in a week has fallen victim to the money-grubbing paws of a shady for-profit educational corporation.Penny's decision to pursue the Classics reflects her growing realization that liberal education may be human kind's last best hope. She and her fellow students at the College of St. Francis had the opportunity to experience, many for the first time, the pleasures of a genuinely good life, a moral or ethical life, liberated from the need to acquire the material symbols of success. Her passionate commitment to live such a life made her the unwitting subject of an ancient prophecy. She has been watched, studied without her knowledge. Fate has groomed her to participate in a grand adventure, a wild ride of Homeric proportions, with help along the way from an Irish Setter mix named Sappho, and a bevy of strong, intelligent women--Black and brown, Irish and Greek, gay and straight. And like her ancient namesake, the wife of Odysseus, she will have to depend on an abiding love and her courage, the courage of a woman warrior, to see her through the perils of her own Odyssey.

Queen Cleopatra by Talbot Mundy Pdf

Queen Cleopatra is a historical drama by Talbot Mundy. It depicts the biggest clash of the sexes known to history, that of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar. Excerpt: "Cleopatra yawned. The rising sun, with a hint in its hue of the heat it had left behind in Asia, began brightening the gilt and marble coloring of the harbor water, streaking it with silver, making spots of gorgeous color where the seaweed and the scum and flotsam drifted. Through the windows, the masts of a hundred ships appeared like pen-strokes in the haze. Three crows came and perched on the marble balcony rail, alert and impudent, as Cleopatra jumped from her bed and came out under the awning, stretching herself."

The Purple Quest by Frank G. Slaughter Pdf

A turbulent story of violence, desire, and intrigue in ancient Phoenicia. Straton, royal descendant of a past rul­ing house, watched as his native land—the great Phoenician port city of Tyre—was torn apart by intrigues within the government. Called home from his voyages, Straton saw young King Pygmalion yielding to the degen­erate influences of an evil stranger. His love for Hera and the jealousy of Queen Elissa obscured by the turmoil that threatened to destroy them all, Straton tried to heal the rifts within Tyre. The treasure he had carried home from a distant island—the Dra­gon's Blood—promised to bring great wealth to the city and to unite the peo­ple. But as the Phoenicians struggled with their fears and superstitions, their Abyssinian enemies prepared for war. With the clash of swords and the thrust of spears, The Purple Quest builds to an exciting climax as blood flows in the city of Tyre and on the ships that for five hundred years had carried the Phoenicians to the farthest corners of the ancient world.
