Well I have finished The Telemachia and have been truly amazed at the depth and detail. I can only begin to imagine the amount of research required to develop the hundreds of characters referenced in the book including all of Greek history's major players and their interconnections. The horsemanship and horse handling was accurate even to the point of the personality of the individual horses. Telemachus was just as I had imagined him, young, wise, and having learned from his Father's triumphs and failures, a perfect hero. I sit my office envious of Autolycus and his future in Elis, which sounded too much like heaven itself. I have enjoyed every word and my only disappointment is that tonight I will suffer the loss of my new friends and their story. I'm not sure how I will make it through my BART trip without the landscapes of the Peloponnese and smells of smoke rising from fatty meats. Thank you, Adam
