		The government at Corinth was once an oligarchy, and this group of men, called the Bacchiadae, held sway in the city, marrying and giving in marriage among themselves....Eventually, Cypselus, the son of Aetion, [one of the Bacchiadae] became master of Corinth.
		Having thus got the tyranny, he showed himself a harsh ruler---many of the Corinthians he drove into banishment, many he deprived of his fortune, and a still greater number of their lives.
		His reign lasted thirty years, and was prosperous to its close; insomuch that he left the government to Periander, his son....Where Cypselus had spared any, and had neither put them to death nor banished them, Periander complete what his father had left unfinished.

		Schmidlin is in full command of his material, and the result: a finely woven tale that transcends his primary sources, notably Herodotus, and allows the reader a real, and very rare feel for what it was like to live in the ancient world of that time and place.
		A coming of age novel at the same time "The Lion of the New Dawn" takes young Cypselus of Corinth from boyhood to the throne, and what I found so appealing throughout was the finely crafted character of Cypselus himself: a thoroughly likable young man, Cypselus is honest, authentic, duty-bound, but absolutely believable, refreshing.
		Schmidlin also spins a very fast moving, tightly woven plot that combines aspects of classic story telling &endash; doublets, reversals &endash; with modern elements of suspense and psychological intrigue.

		According to Pausanias, who reasons on the basis of the evidence of the mythological stories represented on the chest dedicated by Cypselus at Olympia, the family of Cypselus originally came from Gonussa, above Sicyon; Paus.
		When his father, Eetion, sought the advice of the oracle at Delphi on how he might overcome his childlessness, the propitious answer given to him corresponded to an ominous oracle which had been delivered to the Bacchiadae, the family then ruling Corinth.
		Because he was delivered from his enemies in this way, the boy was named after the chest, i.e., "cypselus." When he grew older, he was prompted by the oracle at Delphi to seize power of the city of Corinth from the Bacchiadae.
