Website updates and the latest archaeology news from around the world
In order to keep evolving, the site will be expanded to include other areas of interest relative to ancient Greek history. One such addition, is a question and answer session with Steven Pressfield, the author of 'Gates of Fire' and most recently, 'Killing Rommel'. I also had the pleasure of communicating with Gene Kraay, author of 'The Olympian' and posted the interview in its entirety. In addition, a great journal of Steve Pressfield's has been added where he talks about his book tour to Greece. You'll love it!!!
