THE CRAFTSMAN: And the Spearman Who Was His Son
A multigenerational epic of ancient Athens
From the marble quarries of Mount Pentelicon to the stone prisons of Syracuse - four generations, one family, one city at the edge of the world.
Athens, 431 BCE. A sculptor named Theron presses his young son's hand against a block of Pentelic marble on a mountain that has been breathing for four hundred million years.
A multigenerational epic of ancient Athens
From the marble quarries of Mount Pentelicon to the stone prisons of Syracuse - four generations, one family, one city at the edge of the world.
Athens, 431 BCE. A sculptor named Theron presses his young son's hand against a block of Pentelic marble on a mountain that has been breathing for four hundred million years.
What follows is one of the most immersive historical novels of ancient Greece ever written - a saga that spans 130 years and four generations of a craftsman's family, from the golden age of Pericles to the shadow of Alexander the Great. Through the hands of a sculptor, a spearman, a builder, and a young artist in a world reorganizing around a Macedonian king, The Craftsman asks a question that every civilization eventually faces: What remains when the power moves on?
