Set in the time of Dionysios I of Syracuse, at the beginning of the
4th century BC, Th e Arrows of Hercules tells the tale of Zopyros
of Tarentum, an engineer who invents an improved type of catapult.
*** He is quickly drafted by Dionysios into Syracuse's war efforts
against Carthage, which sets him on a series of adventures
including a battle against Etruscan pirates and a kidnapping in
Carthage. *** L. Sprague's meticulous attention to historical
accuracy makes this a remarkable read which entertains as much as
it teaches us about fascinating events that shaped the course of
history. *** ---------- "Exciting and quite believable
adventures."-Classical World ---------- "Rousing piece of fi
ction...pace is rapid and unrelenting." -Th e Arizona Republic
---------- "Highly Recommended...intriguing novel."-Library Journal
