Beware the book that includes a glossary. Run away if it’s just a novella. The author took more pleasure in trying to impress the reader with his use of ancient Greek nomenclature than he did in writing decent dialogue. Decent story of a post-polytheistic Greece, where the ranks of the gods had been culled after some type of upheaval. This short novel concentrates on one battle but relegates much of the decisive action to exposition.
