Young hoplites itching for glory and gold joined the marines or were hired as mercenaries. There was always a war somewhere. Aeschylus needed a decent guardsman.

Waugh war erst Maler, dann Lehrer, Reporter und Kunsttischler, bis er in der Literatur seine Berufung fand. Seinen historischen wie geistreichen Abstecher in die Frühzeit des Christentums liest Walter Hilsbecher.
