Hi everyone
I’m looking for recommendations for novels that are either set in ancient Greece (historical accuracy not required), or one whose main character is pledged/bound to a pact made with a superior entity (divine/elemental/magical/…).
Bonus points if you happen to know of a novel which combines boths of these tropes.
It can be fantasy or realistic, I don’t mind either.
Thanks for your recommendations!
Now, I haven’t finished the book, in fact I have only read maybe 30 pages so far, but Ilium by Dan Simmons could be a fit. It features a character that is tasked by a divine entity to explore the events of Homers Iliad. It is Sci-fi though and I am not sure if the book will keep this characters storyline in Greece or even under this pact.
If someone has actually read the whole book (series) please chime in!
