The Grecian Deluge is a historical fiction novel written by Augusta Larned. Set in ancient Greece, the story follows the lives of two young women, Lena and Eurydice, who come from very different backgrounds. Lena is a wealthy Athenian girl who is engaged to a prominent politician, while Eurydice is a slave who works in the household of Lena's family.As the two women's lives become intertwined, they witness the political turmoil and social upheaval that is sweeping through Greece. The novel explores themes of power, corruption, and the struggle for freedom and equality.The title of the book refers to the historical event of the Great Flood of Deucalion, which was a significant event in Greek mythology. The flood is used as a metaphor for the societal changes that are occurring in the novel.Overall, The Grecian Deluge is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a unique perspective on ancient Greek society. It is a must-read for fans of historical fiction and anyone interested in the history and culture of ancient Greece.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Old Tales Retold from Grecian Mythology in Talks Around the Fire, by Augusta Larned.
