MediaDB / «From the Spur of Helicon" Michael the Athenian: download fb2, read online
About the book: year / Tribes populate new spaces, develop, for centuries they fight with the natural elements and with each other, but one day... the moment comes for disparate tribes to become a single people, a culture that carries its unique image into eternity. Suddenly, people begin to see the alluring height of Olympus above them and the terrible abyss of Hades under their feet. This secret of existence was revealed to young Hercules when, from the spur of Mount Helikon, he set off on a journey with the still unknown, equally young goddess Athena. But it turned out that together with Hercules, a whole generation of people was growing up, called to change the world: among them the musician and poet Orpheus, the shipbuilder Argus, the soothsayers Merope and Telephus who did not make sacrifices, the huntress Atalanta who did not kill animals, and many others. Together, the best people of the Achaean world set off on a journey to Argo, but bring back something that is incomparable in value to a golden ram's skin. This book tells about how these unusual people live, what motivates them, how they love and make friends..
