Autorenporträt

For forty years the author resided in and around the Middle East area. During extended vacations on the Greek Island of Aegina between 1978 to 1991, he learned of serious historical inaccuracies concerning the Island's military defeat by Athens in the fourth century before Christ. Herodotus, considered one of the most accurate ancient historians only briefly refers to Aegina's defeat as the 'Kerkophalia war.' This story of 'Telamon The Greek', sheds new light on serious omissions in Herodotus's Aegina commentary.
