Ancient Athens

War and Betrayal

Love and Murder

2500 years ago, in the year that king Darius of Persia died, a man called, Euphorion, was born in Greece.

Witness to some of the most glorious episodes of ancient Athens, the wars, the crimes, the political intrigues, he expected war, hoped for love and found murder and betrayal on his doorstep instead.

Euphorion is the first fiction novel by distinguished Cambridge historian, Oliver Thomson. Part fiction, part travelogue, Euphorion is an imaginative journey that will also benefit travellers to Greece and Turkey.

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY ABOUT OLIVER THOMSON:

Thomson never manages the sin of being boring.

Piers McGrandle

Thomson has a touch that is scholarly but light.
