Simon Magus is a historical novel by Francis Legge that tells the story of Simon, a magician and religious leader who lived during the first century AD. The novel is set in the Roman Empire and follows Simon's rise to power as he gains a following of disciples who believe he possesses supernatural powers. Simon's teachings and practices are seen as a threat to the established religious and political authorities, and he is eventually brought before the Emperor Nero for trial. Along the way, Simon becomes involved in a love triangle with a woman named Helena and a Roman soldier named Marcus. The novel explores themes of power, religion, and love, and provides a vivid portrayal of life in the Roman Empire during the early years of Christianity.THIS 38 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Forerunners and Rivals of Christianity From 330 BC to 330 AD, by Francis Legge.
