Alexander Geiger is a history buff who has always wished he could travel back in time to visit some of his favorite historical figures, places, and events. The entire Ptolemaios Saga is an account of one such extended trip, intended to witness the dawn of the Hellenistic world. The men and women who lived, strived, fought, and loved during this seminal age didn't know their ideas, exploits, and accomplishments would reverberate all the way to the present day but, boy oh boy, did they leave a mark. Imagine being able to see, through the eyes of Ptolemaios Metoikos - who was actually there - all the adventures, sights, and colorful figures of that vibrant, memorable, and thrilling era. It's the author's hope that you will enjoy the ride.

An Ancient Bucket List

If ancient Greeks kicked anything in their death spasms, it probably wasn’t a bucket. An amphora, maybe, or a kylix, but certainly not a bucket. Hence, ancient Greeks were not familiar with the phrase “bucket list.” On the other hand, some well-to-do and restless Greek old-timers, followed by even wealthier and more travel-prone ancient Romans, felt an irresistible urge to visit “the sights.” A fe Read more of this blog post »
