The two volumes are dedicated, respectively,\nto Herodotus and Xenophon, a strong hint as to sources of the\n(sometimes) real people and events Latros encounters. Both are of course\nwell worth reading in themselves, but taken in conjunction with the two\nLatro novels, all sorts of mysteries become a _little_ clearer. Just one\nexample: the last pages of Herodotus deal with the omen of the\napparently resurrected fishes which are central to the first chapters of\nSoldier of Arete.\nFor some time now the list has been in general agreement that Wolfe has\nbeen strongly influenced by Robert Graves, and I would also recommend\nreading his Greek Gods and Heroes (or is Heroes and Gods? Don't have my\ncopy handy)."
