A Corinthian Boy is a novel about life in 1st century Corinth. Extensively researched, the book draws upon literary and historical sources as well as archaeological findings to present an accurate picture of the society to which an itinerant tent-maker brought the news of a new mystery religion, one which offered a more certain hope of escaping the grasp of cold Hades.
