Drawn from a mysterious manuscript found by a mountaineer, a strange narrative of the ancient hero Meleager unfolds, steeped in myth and the fantastic.

Herbert M. Vaughan's 1916 novel frames a fantastical tale of Greek legend within an antiquarian's discovery. Atmospheric, learned, of its era. Read it for an imaginative Edwardian fantasy that reanimates the myth of Meleager through a found-manuscript conceit.
