"The Athletenu of Avaris" is written to be accessible and engaging for a wide, educated audience, not just those with an academic background. While the book occasionally delves into complex philological concepts or archaeological topics, my aim was to present these in a clear, compelling, and understandable manner.
You don't need a specific academic background to enjoy or understand "The Athletenu of Avaris." If you have an interest in archaeology, history, and ancient languages, a curious mind, and a willingness to explore new ideas, you'll find the book both informative and rewarding.
What people are saying
The premise of this book is that when Solon retired to Sais Nome in Egypt the story he was told about a military power that threatened both Egypt and Greece wasn't a mythical city in the West but instead a uniquely Egyptian story that is well known to modern historians ... the Hyksos conquerors of Avaris. His book begins with an analysis of the Plato's writings in the original Greek revealing that when Plato describes Atlantis he is clearly not describing an island in the Atlantic Ocean but instead is a river island surrounded by a navigable swamp. For hundreds of years, Plato's tale has been mistranslated. The author does an outstanding job of analyzing almost every piece of the text and then backs up every argument by integrating it with solid mainstream archeological findings. The end result is an extremely solid piece of scholarship and Plato's text reveals new and exciting information about the Hyksos conquerors and the short-lived civilization they established.

A really interesting and informative book and a fun read. It was hard to put down. Anyone interested in the history or myth of Atlantis will enjoy it. Highly recommended!

The Atletenu of Avaris is certainly more than a popular science essay. Reading it, you quickly understand that it's the result of meticulous research combining archaeology, classical philology, toponymy, Egyptology, and the study of primary Greek and Egyptian sources.
The author proposes a bold but solidly argued thesis: the identification of the mythical Atlantis described by Plato with the Egyptian city of Avaris, capital of the Hyksos kings. Each chapter is supported by a rich apparatus of sources, including original quotations in ancient Greek, references to contemporary archaeological studies, and epigraphic documentation.
This book undoubtedly offers an original contribution to the debate on the historical identity of Solon's account. It can interest both scholars and curious readers passionate about antiquity.
