We are so very thrilled to bring you this ancient Greek saga handed down throughout the centuries in our family. Scribed initially on parchment, papyrus, animal skins, and through word-of-mouth, CG Blade's Great-grandfather, Angelo Pappas, pieced this fable together using the tools available to him at the time. He passed away in 1974 after a long and fruitful life. It is indeed an honor to bring this story to you in its entirety completely untouched with updated editing. A tale of love, courage, and bravery in the midst of ancient Greece, we present to you 'In The Path Of The Beast' initially published by Evangelos Pappazisis (Angelo Pappas), and translated into English by Stavroula Will, (Rose Will) in 1952. A mere two copies of this book remained in existence until Jackie Siefert-Pappas transcribed it this past year. A HUGE debt of gratitude and a loving "thank you" to Jackie for the countless hours she put into transcribing this story from the hardbound edition.

This book examines the development of ancient Greek civilization through a path-breaking application of social scientific theories. David B. Small charts the rise of the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations and the unique characteristics of the later classical Greeks through the lens of ancient social structure and complexity theory, opening up new ideas and perspectives on these societies. He argues that Minoan and Mycenaean institutions evolved from elaborate feasting, and that the genesis of Greek colonization was born from structural chaos in the eighth century. Small isolates distinctions between Iron Age Crete and the rest of the Greek world, focusing on important differences in social structure. His book differs from others on Ancient Greece, highlighting the perpetuation of classical Greek social structure into the middle years of the Roman Empire, and concluding with a comparison of the social structure of classical Greece to that of the classical Maya civilization.

The idea for this book was born during a tour of Greece taken by the author focusing on ancient sites including Delphi. Swisher began to wonder what happened to all the treasures that been given to the Priests and Pythias at the sanctuary and this story evolved from there. We follow both Atys, a Lydian slave from 650 BC and James, an insurance agent in AD 2010 on their journeys to Delphi Greece. Atys is among the slaves carrying a heavy chest of solid gold coins up the steep trail to the Oracle. Their paths cross when James finds a mysterious metal box in the crumbling basement of an old Greek farmhouse he may inherit. James makes a friend and partner in Angela who struggles to overcome her fears to help him unravel a mysterious message. You will find ordinary people with normal quirks and believable skills who will take you on a fast-paced adventure leading to an exciting and fulfilling climactic ending.
