The Author
The translator at work, from the illustrated edition.
Manolis Tsongas writes epic fantasy built from the ancient sources: Herodotus, Xenophon and Plutarch. Acenes of Sparta: The Dragon Slayer is his first novel.
He writes fantasy to the eleven criteria of the Fantasy 101: mood, theme, structure, further reading, creative detail, real-world blend, divine influence, climax and fights, epic scale, genre standard and originality.
He keeps no public profile. The novel, the Lexicon, the Codex and the papers on this site are where he can be found.
