Cephalos, Ward of Eleusis, is a five-book volume of translations of the Archival Chronicles of Mentor, son of Alkimos (born in 1285 BC). By the end of the fi ve books, such histories by entablature, beginning with the grandparents of Cephalos and continuing through his parents' ascendancies, have related his own great rise, spanning from 1380 to 1362 BC. In his style of protohistory about early Greece, S. W. Bardot adapts his mastery of the Oldest Greek texts to translations of scripted Linear B, all by other scholars of antiquity as most adept to Ment¿r's writ. That contemporary narrator, a conceit of the Bardot Group, looks back from an ensuing century, the thirteenth BC. Cephalos and the Kekropids, the second book in the serialization, brings us to Cephalos' teenage years, the 1370s BC, when his naval initiatives can confi dently progress through the extensive peace and prosperity that his father, Deion, has created for all of the north mainland. There is a juggernaut of prodigious feats by Cephalos as he develops overland commerce by caravans and is assigned a gamut of shore offi ces and commands. This Third Archival Chronicle also introduces Skia of Aphidnai, the mortal incarnation of Eos the Goddess of the Dawn, and Cephalos' greatest love.
