    Legends of the Ancient World: The Life and Legacy of Spartacus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 92min
    *Includes accounts of Spartacus and the Third Servile War written by ancient historians Plutarch, Sallust, Appian, Osorius, and Florus. *Includes pictures of historic art depicting Spartacus and important people, places, and events in his life. *Includes a Bibliography for further reading. “[Spartacus] was a Thracian from the nomadic tribes and not only had a great spirit and great physical strength, but was, much more than one would expect from his condition, most intelligent and cultured, being more like a Greek than a Thracian. They say that when he was first taken to Rome to be sold, a snake was seen coiled round his head while he was asleep and his wife, who came from the same tribe and was a prophetess subject to possession by the frenzy of Dionysus, declared that this sign meant that he would have a great and terrible power which would end in misfortune…” – Plutarch, Life of Crassus Spartacus is the world’s most famous slave, and one of the most notorious figures of Ancient Rome. A slave enamored of freedom and willing to fight and die for it, he became especially popular in the years following the Enlightenment, after which he was widely viewed as a poignant champion of liberty in the 18th and 19th centuries. As a result, he became a symbol during struggles like the French Revolution, the American Revolution, the American Civil War and the struggle for emancipation. Today, his dual life as a gladiator and a “freedom fighter” makes him fascinating to audiences around the world. His tale, a blend of violent spectacle and civil rights, has been adapted for film (Stanley Kubrick’s memorable Spartacus), television (Starz’s popular television series), and in literature (appearing in everything from historical novels to comics). To this day, Spartacus (Spartaco) is a popular first name in central and southern Italy, and his name has been adopted by sports teams like FC Spartak Moscow an ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Beyond the Bosporus: The Thracian Connection to Troy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 31min
    Little is known about the ancient city of Troy, site of the infamous but largely unhistorical Trojan War. Much attention has been focused to finding out about the city-state itself. But less has been studied regarding its alliance and trade systems, and from where its original inhabitants may have come. So much of its trade and culture was rooted in Thrace, just across the Bosporus. Find out how those links to Thrace influenced Troy's culture and even its alliances for its mythical war with the Greeks. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Robinson.

    The Stone Gods: Eno the Thracian Adventures, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 409min
    An ancient world where the monsters and the Gods are real...and a mortal's only hope lies in a hero who can command both sword and sorcery. Having angered the great god Pan, Eno must leave Greece until the goat-footed one cools off. The High Priest of Amun in Thebes, Egypt, needs his help but is fuzzy on the details, except that several heroes have already perished after taking on the job. A job offer in Egypt seems like the perfect opportunity to escape but no assignment is ever as simple as it seems. Family issues, a depressed pharaoh, and a girl who claims that she and Eno are fated to be married are the least of his problems. The lion-goddess Sehkmet has a score to settle and she's not about to let a mere possible demi-god get in her way! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Randal Schaffer.

    Hetaera: Daughter of the Gods , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 827min
    She was the original Cinderella....Doricha is twelve when her father is murdered by a roving band of Greeks. Betrayed by a jealous priestess and sold into slavery, headstrong Dori loses her most valuable possession-her freedom. She hopes that one day she can truly be free, but not even Aesop, her mentor, can protect her. The harsh world of classical Greece has little use for the minds of women, and she finds her body traded to another owner, who transports her to a new life of luxury and political turmoil in the faraway deserts of Egypt. All she has to do is be beautiful, all she has to do is love him, and she will be kept safe. The problem is, Dori doesn't want to be kept - by any man. Not even the god-king Amasis, Pharaoh of Egypt. From the ancient Thracian temple of the Bacchae to the exotic lands of Egypt where political intrigue coils like a nest of asps, Dori learns that fulfilling her father's dying wish is not about bands around her wrists so much as it is bands around her heart. Based on persons and historical events of 26th dynasty Egypt, Hetaera fictionalizes the life of Doricha/Rhodopis--a most extraordinary woman who changed the world. ungekürzt. Language: English.
