Produktinformationen zu „Once Upon a Time, on Lesbos (ePub)“
At the end of the seventh century B.C. the rival aristocrats of Mytilene - the strongest city-state on the island of Lesbos - heading the various political factions, contended with each other for supreme power. Alcaeus, the poet, and his elder brother, bellicose Antimenidas, joined forces with Phanias and Pittacus and made plans to overthrow Myrsilus, who had risen to power with the support of the middle class, the merchants and marines. Their conspiracy was betrayed and everyone but Pittacus, who changed sides at the very last moment and became the prime target of Alcaeus' libels, had to flee into exile, to inland Pyrrha. Young Sappho, who was their contemporary, and whose political sympathies lay with Alcaeus, followed them, too.
This novel relates their adventures from that point on. Historical information available with regard to the protagonists, as well as ideas and feelings depicted in their poetry and dicta preserved to this day, are the basic elements which intertwine with fiction in the effort to achieve successful restructuring of their time and life in an era which set the foundations for Greece's Golden Age. The outcome is an exciting story full of passion, bravery, love, friendship, and of unparalleled achievements.

Autoren-Porträt von Alex G. Tsagarellis
Alex G. Tsagarellis, born on Lesbos-Greece, studied history, classical languages and literature, as well as English and American literature, and started his career as a teacher. Joining Olympic Airways at the urge of a moment proved a milestone in his life, because it enabled him to travel extensively, attending Airline Industry conferences and meetings, thus gaining on experiences and profound knowledge of the English language. So, besides his writing in his mother tongue – three novels and a play are already available in Greek – he also writes in English. His novel “Once Upon a Time, ON LESBOS” is presented along these lines.
