Coles Eidolon: Swan Song for the Age of Bronze at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Inspired by Athenian plays, Homeric verses, and other tales older still, Eidolon is a new spin on one of history's most ancient sagas, drawing inspiration from the legend that place Helen in Egypt rather than Troy, all while setting the events before, during, and after the Trojan War against the real-world backdrop of the Late Bronze Age Collapse of Mediterranean civilizations in the early 12th-century BC.
Ultimately, Eidolon is a story of finding love-both romantic and platonic-and holding fast in the face of a world where everything has gone so terribly wrong.
Menelawos of Mycenae and Hwelena of Sparta should have been a fleeting story-chieftain and chieftess of her city, joined in love and torn apart by war-but their hearts burned too bright for the gods to ignore. When Hwelena is abducted, the deed sparks a decade of bloodshed, yet the true cruelty lies deeper: a phantom in Troy, the real Hwelena hidden in Egypt alongside the last king of Ugarit, and the will of Zeus twisting the fates of empires for his own dark ambitions.
While kingdoms fall and cities are sacked, Hwelena learns the ancient rites of gods, and Menelawos battles the apathy of a world determined to keep them forever sundered from each other. Leviathans wake, civilizations die, and a storm-born tyrant stirs at an armada's head to claim the world as his inheritance.
Still, they do not yield.
Across the roaring ruin of the Late Bronze Age, over wide wilderness and the wine-dark sea, through the warpath of raving Sea Peoples, Menelawos and Hwelena fight to reclaim each other and expose the divine plot that's laid bare the world.
Their age is ending- they refuse to go down with it.
