Last of the Amazons is not merely a masterful tale of war and revenge. Pressfield has created a cast of extraordinarily vivid characters, from the unforgettable Selene, whose surrender to the Greeks does nothing to tame her; to her lover, Damon, an Athenian warrior who grows to cherish the wild Amazon ways; to the narrator, Bones, a young girl from a noble family who was nursed by Selene from birth and secretly taught the Amazon way; to the great Theseus, the tragic king; and to Antiope, the noble queen who betrayed tal Kyrte for the love of Theseus. 600 00 $a Theseus, $c King of Athens $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Amazons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sieges $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION / Historical / Ancient. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary. $2 bisacsh 651 0 $a Athens (Greece) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20230704010502.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=24DBB4AC1A3011EEAF9CB4AD47ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
