An ancient hero revealed

After questioning his bizarre dreams and an unexplained sudden knowledge of ancient Greek, Jerry Fletcher seeks the help of a psychic who suggests that he undergo past life regression. Jerry begins remembering his past lives –a Jew during the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, a young Arapaho brave, a knight during the Middle Ages – until he stops in Ancient Greece with Aias, a Spartan renowned in his time as the world’s greatest warrior but whose name went unrecorded in history.

Alexander the Great often compared Aias to Illiad’s Hector and Achilles.

Ptlomey thought that Aias was perhaps a God reincarnate from Olympus.

Alexander called him Aries incarnate.

His enemies called him Aias the Decapitator.

Aristotle called him The Heretic.

And the women of Greece called him … well, you’ll have to read the book to find out.

A story of romance and violence, adventure and spirituality, Andrew Feder's The Heretic unveils a new legend at home with the classics.
