	Beyond Renault - Valerio Massimo Manfredi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Valerio Massimo Manfredi is undoubtedly a capable historian of the ancient world: he has been teaching in several Italian and foreign universities, he led scientific expeditions, excavations and explorations in Italy as well as overseas, and he has been writing articles and essays for some of the most important Italian Magazines, such as
		Manfredi himself stated, during a conference, that style should "succumb" to narration, and remain as simple as possible, in order not to interfere and take the attention off the story being told.
		Manfredi that Hephaistion corrisponded with two philosophers, not to mention gaining the higest civil charge of the empire; it is likely he had more interesting subjects to discuss than the ones Manfredi ascribed to him (being women, wine, and other pleasantries of the same sort).

	Amazon.co.uk: The Oracle: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Phenomenally successful writer Valerio Massimo Manfredi tells a modern tale inspired by an ancient prophecy Greece at the time of the Colonels, 1973 - An archaeologist discovers a gold Mycenaean vase embellished with images of the last voyage of Ulysses.
		This book marks a departure for Manfredi; where his previous novels were stories fitting around ancient historic plts/stories/events, this is a basic crime novel with archeological and political leanings.
		The drawback with the last few Manfredi novels seems to me, that to fully undertsand them you have to be versed on ancient greek -especially Homers Odyssey; and preferably a little about the geograohy of the ancient world.

	sffworld.com - Valerio Massimo Manfredi
		Manfredi is a very good ancient times scholar for sure, he did teach in many universities, he still writes essays in the magazines, he's often host in some scientific popularization tv programmes (he even owns one all for himeself) and he's many more things: you're 100% sure to meet him anywhere there's a historical-related scent.
		But his range is too wide and his knowledge cannot be universal: in my opinion he writes a bit too much, he looks just for quantity to the detriment of quality.
		More seriously, the italian tongue is fit for a flowery language and very long sentences, by using many different words for the same meaning: Manfredi likes to use an higher language (synonym of knowledge) and therefore he's almost forced to lend color to his words the way you noticed.

	Amazon.ca: Spartan: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Manfredi, author of a trilogy about the life of Alexander the Great (Alexander), here tells an epic tale of Sparta and its rivalry with other Greek city-states in the face of repeated Persian invasions in the fifth century B.C. Two Spartan brothers, sons of a famous Spartan warrior, are separated as babies.
		Manfredi is a masterful storyteller, carefully weaving in political and military history, realistically describing the brutality of hoplite warfare and vividly depicting the treachery and betrayal of kings.
		Drawn into the great Battle of Thermopylae, the crucial plot-point of GATES OF FIRE, Manfredi's SPARTAN follows Talos in his struggles against the brutal inhumanities of Sparta and his own return to their ranks.
