House Ascendant presents the comings-of-age of the epic hero and
his best friend by homeland Greece; they're both famous from The
Odyssey by Homer, although the book assumes our readers have not
the least knowledge of them. So, accordingly, from Odysseus' birth
while under the care of his mother Anticleia our volume tells
settings and tales about Odysseus as a boy. He meets Mentor while
they're both lads at war campaign with their fathers, both acting
as messengers until Mentor becomes Ward-of- House under the
tutelage of Odysseus' father La rtes. An apprentice of naval
command under his father, we learn of Odysseus' teenage years until
just past his accession to the co-regent title of Fleetmaster.
Mentor, meanwhile, becomes a student and practitioner at the
difficult arts of dictation through his commitment to writ
inscribed entablature - itself best known to scholars as the famous
syllabary of pictograms called Linear B Minoan. Odysseus' eventual
command over the Near Fleets of the Ithacan League has the able
testament of Mentor to bring both their exciting lives through the
zenith of the Mycenaean Age.
Protohistory, in contrast to our many novelistic approaches to
historical fiction, employs biography as a framework against which
events of authentic and plausible prehistory can be affixed.
Expository fiction fills in the lost gaps by destroyed sources,
while explaining robustly the regions and happenings surrounding
the lives of several protagonists. It speaks, in general and
solely, from the captured viewpoints of sovereigns, or of the
highest peers attendant upon them.
