Rarely in the history of the world does a ground–breaking travel narrative come along that absolutely challenges and revolutionizes the travel writing industry to its very core. Such an incredibly powerful and life-altering work has the potential ability to change the way that people see the world around them and challenge their long-held perceptions regarding the human spirit. Unfortunately Into the Pagan Past is not that work; it’s not even close. Rather, it is a humble and heart-felt journey into the ancient Greek world in which the author literally ventures back through time and places himself into several historical and mythological events, all while traveling throughout modern day Greece and Turkey. Liberally and lavishly illustrated by the the modest author and written in a humorous and often irreverent manner, Into the Pagan Past is a personal journal of what happens when an out-of-the-closet Hellenophile makes his very first trip to Europe to connect with the ancient Greek past, which he loves so much.
