an understanding of human nature to historical
research; therefore, they attempt to
bring Archaic Sparta back to life.

This
is the story of a slave and a charioteer in Archaic

The
revolutionary unrest which caused Ancient Sparta to adopt the first
democratic constitution in the ancient world, and the bitter war
which followed, are the setting of this novel. These
historical events, the seeds of all subsequent Spartan development,
are presented through the eyes of an Athenian poet, a Spartan
commander and a young widow.

Spartan
Slave, Spartan Queen: Tale of Four Women of Sparta
Fiction, published 2007
Two women in
Sparta are captured into slavery at the same time: the beautiful
daughter of the Arcadian King, Niobe, and her ugly, "barbarian"
hand-maiden, Mika.
While Niobe becomes the concubine of one of Sparta's princes, Mika
is an ordinary slave in the house of an ordinary citizen's
wife. The novel explores the impact and effect of beauty on
four women's lives in an ancient context. This book is a
sequel to Are
They Singing in Sparta?
