"The Cycle of Cyrnos - Book Two: Foundation" explores what is meant to be a Corsican. It is an epic poem covering the period from the Bronze Age to the eve of the Crusades. There is a Corsica of local legend and lore, but there is also a Corsica that played an underappreciated, but integral, part in the prehistory and early history of the Western Mediterranean through the Late Antique Period. Corsica is an ungovernable island with an ungovernable people that provided a crucible for civilization and culture forged by the relationships with the Sherden, Phoenicians, Phocaeans, Carthaginians, Etruscans, Romans, Visi, Vandals, Goths, Byzantines, Lombards, Franks, Saracens, Popes, Genoese and Pisans seeking respectively to trade with, dominate, govern or administer Corsica. Corsica engaged in robust or innovative trade, commerce, warfare, defiance and conscience. The soul of a Corsican manifests itself in the propulsion of the culture of and commerce of the coast, in one of earliest and largest megalithic traditions, in the sanctuary of the maquis and interior, in the fealty service as foederates, in the diaspora, in its lure to the major powers and religions, and in the resulting Corsican character. The Corsican soul will thereafter playout for the next millennium"
