Description
The novel “Thais of Athens” is based on a well-known historical episode from ancient sources: the burning of Persepolis by the famous Athenian hetaira who took part in Alexander the Great’s campaign. At one time, bourgeois historians denied the episode, including such a major expert on the era as V. Tarn. Modern researchers—among them an authority like M. Wheeler—restore the episode’s credibility.
She is a beautiful hetaira whose name is famous far beyond Athens; at her feet, crowds of admirers and heaps of silver. But what does that matter, if there is only one man she dreams of conquering! And this man dreams of conquering the whole world.
And both of them—Alexander the Great and Thais of Athens—will leave their names for centuries: he through his conquests, and she through her love, which until the very end will blaze just as fiercely as the palace of the Persian kings that the hetaira set on fire…
