BOOK

At the Battle of Marathon GR (excerpt)

Graphic novels for children and teens, recounting the stories of two world changing battles through the eyes of three young friends who happened to be present and witnessed the events up close. The author-archaeologist describes the events in vivid detail, as we have come to know them from the ancient Greek sources. The illustrated format offers a fresh take into history and makes it easier for children to understand.

Other than the events of the battles, the reader will get to learn a lot about everyday life, as well as the customs and beliefs prevalent on Greece at the time.
