Seven Tales of Corinth

J. SerVaas Williams
4.4/5 (1290744 ratings)
SEVEN TALES OF CORINTH:

Since antiquity, the port city of Corinth has been a hot-bed of political intrigue, fabulous wealth, cruel invaders, stunning disasters and, most of all, human passions. J. SerVaas Williams lifts this captivating city-state out of the shifting sands of ancient Greece, painting its vivid hues over the canvas of time.

VOYAGE OF THE IONIANS tells of the land settled by Noah's grandson, Ion, then ravaged by pirates who spared none but boys they sold into slavery. Years later, those grown boys would plot a daring escape, aided by an aged Ion and the survivors of Old Tarshish: a spirited band of young women.

SECRET OF SUMER brings Enlilanna, High Priestess of Sumer, to Joseph during seven years of drought. Enlilanna sets her sites on the place she names Corinth, where she aims to build a temple denying Joseph's faith and the claim to the land held by the sole survivor of Ion's settlement, a thirteen year-old boy.

THE FIRE TOWER finds Enlilanna's empire ruled by ten queens. His life threatened by rival royals, Prince Barzazi and his twin sister hide in Corinth's fire tower. When the greatest volcanic eruption in history on nearby Callista forces their flight, Barzazi yearns for the divine reality he once witnessed with Moses.

INTERMEZZO finds Corinth suffering under Dorian rule. Forced to write propaganda, Tajepeh, discovers a Dorian plot against his homeland. Tajepeh fears for his beautiful Israelite wife, Jedudijah, a former dancer in King David's court.

THE ORACLE AND THE TYRANT brings thousands of Jewish slaves out of Babylon and under the thumb of Periander, serving his wife's ambition to transform Corinth into the trade and cultural center of the world.

THE DEVASTATORS follows liberated slaves to their homeland, Corinth, where they find little left of their former lives. Lovers Glycera and Diaeus become revolutionaries, resolved to rescue Corinth from Roman rule.

HOUSE OF THE SWALLOW finds Paul at work for Priscilla and Aquila, who make their home and tent-making business with Jewess Helidonia and her son, Demas, a young thief with an eye for the lovely Phaedra.
