E-text prepared by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Helleenit ja barbaarit: Romaani persialaissotien ajoilta" by Sophus Michaëlis is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative likely takes place during the era of the Persian Wars, exploring themes of identity and cultural conflict through the lens of its characters. The main character introduced in the opening portion is Eufranor, a shepherd in Arcadia, who navigates his life alongside his family and the challenges of parenthood in the ancient world. The opening of the novel paints a vivid picture of Eufranor's serene life in the mountains of Arcadia, where he tends to his goats and reflects on his family. We first learn about his wife, Nikarete, who struggles with the mortality of their children, setting a poignant tone. Eufranor experiences the joys and sorrows of fatherhood as he witnesses the loss of his daughters but finds hope in the birth of a son. As he nurtures his boy, he grapples with the fear of divine retribution and seeks to protect the boy from the gods, believing that naming him might invite misfortune. Through lush descriptions and emotional depth, the opening sets the stage for a story steeped in ancient Greek life, touching on themes of love, loss, and the influence of the divine on mortal affairs.
