"From the historical record and discoveries unearthed in the extensive excavations over a fifteen year period, the author recreates the amazing story of Salamis, on the Levant coast of Cyprus, which served as an important link between the Greek world and the Near East. The manner in which archaeology and history are woven together to make this period live again is shown by one of the later excavations, a 'tomb' which in fact was proved to be only a cenotaph. This is almost certainly a memorial to King Nicocreon, last king of Salamis, who, with his family, commited suicide in 311 B.C. rather than submit to Ptolemy I of Egypt." from the jacket flap.
