Showing I, Demokedes by CJ Wright

Demokedes was a Greek physician--possibly a specialist in sports’ medicine--who lived through the hinge period around 500 BCE.--an era of rapid and radical change from Italy to China. This book is an imagined memoir of Demokedes. It should be emphasized, however, it is only his thoughts and conversations that are imagined--and a few romantic interludes; all the major people and events of this novel are straight out of the pages of history. What Demokedes was witness to is beyond fabrication.
