Owls to Athens

By: Harry Turtledove

Narrated by: Tim Campbell

After some long and perilous journeys, Menedemos and Sostratos finally head back to Athens just in time for the Dionysia, a bacchanalian festival of plays and celebrations. Like earlier installments in the series, Owls to Athens has the cousins going through various adventures, trade negotiations and sexual escapades, all set against a finely painted mosaic of Hellenic life in the fourth century BCE. However, this time, most of their time is spent in the City of Athens instead of sailing on the high seas. But even in the City, life can be treacherous, particularly when Menedemos decides to have an affair with one of the most influential and dangerous women in Athens.

Refreshing

This is a series set in a time that is usually ignored by most writers of historical fiction.
Very well done.

Another great series !

I find it incredible that Harry Turledove is still writing future classics . I’ve enjoyed reading and listening to so many of his great books . Whenever his audio books come out I pre-order them . I have more time listening when doing chores these days . All of his works are worth listening to .
