Turteltaub (a pseudonym of Harry Turtledove). It follows the adventures of Menedemos and his cousin, Sostratos. It is the second book in the Hellenic Traders series. Plot introductionThe book centers around the discovery of an apparent gryphon skull (in reality a skull from a dinosaur), and the efforts of Sostratos to get the skull back to scholars for study. SettingThe novel takes place in the areas around Greece approximately fourteen years after the death of Alexander the Great. As with the first book in the series, characters and locations are given a more literal transcription of their Greek names than the more common anglicized Latinizations. {{Harry Turtledove}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Gryphons Skull, The}}{{2000s-hist-novel-stub}} 5 : 2002 American novels|Hellenic Traders novels|Novels set in ancient Greece|Tor Books books|Novels set in the 4th century BC |
