	Scott Oden - Explorations in Antiquity
		A contemporary of Demosthenes and Aristotle, Memnon rose from humble origins to command the whole of western Asia in a time of strife and slaughter.
		But, to the King of Kings, his majesty Darius III of Persia, Memnon was the one man capable of defending Asia Minor from the rising power of the barbaric Macedonians.
		It is a record of his triumphs and tragedies, his loves and losses, and of the determination that drove him to stand against the most renowned figure of the ancient world — the ambitious young conqueror called Alexander the Great.

		Historians have paid scant attention to Memnon of Rhodes, but Oden, who admits to "have taken spectacular liberties" with the incomplete historical record, brings the man and his times to life with a combination of vivid conjecture, deft plotting and graceful prose.
		The fact that Memnon provided a different angle to an era usually written from the Alexandrian perspective made it especially worth reading, since the viewpoint on this often written about ancient era was the reverse of what is normally seen.
		The technique Oden uses of a story being recounted by Memnon's wife on her death bed doesn't cut it with me. There are simply too many times when even the letter's she recieved would not account for her knowledge of what happened to Memnon.
