Hellenic Traders

Hellenic Traders

Hellenic Traders refers to a series of historical fiction books published by TOR and written by H.N. Turteltaub (a pseudonym of Harry Turtledove). The books center around cousins Menedemos and Sostratos who work as seaborne traders in the years following the death of Alexander the Great. The series is notable for a high degree of historical accuracyFact|date=May 2008.

The series currently consists of four books:

*"Over the Wine Dark Sea"
*"The Gryphon's Skull"
*"The Sacred Land"
*"Owls to Athens"

The same author also wrote "Justinian", which takes place in the early Byzantine Empire. While not connected with the Hellenic Traders series, it still deals with the same area.
