In today's episode, we're exploring the timeworn theme of the rise and fall of empires, a topic that has captured many imaginations. Joining us is Gregory Michael Nixon, whose youthful fascination with the myths of Bronze Age Greece has flourished into a lifelong scholarly pursuit. Now in retirement beside the tranquil Okanagan Lake, Nixon has channeled his knowledge and enthusiasm into "The Diomedeia," a novel that transports us to the aftermath of Troy's fall and into the decline of the Hittite Empire.
The "Bronze Age Collapse" comes to life through Nixon's narrative, weaving historical events with the legendary deeds of Diomedes and the multifaceted Peoples of the Sea. The novel promises a journey where ancient myth and history converge, celebrating the enduring legacy of a legendary hero.
