“They will make cemeteries their cathedrals, and the cities will be your tombs. This was the prediction that came true. The demons rampaged through the streets. Fear and death were the order of the day.”
The Naked Olympics: The True Story of the Ancient Games
The Naked Olympics is a quick and cinematic read that brings an ancient tradition to life with colorful writing. Unlike many other books available on the Greek Olympics that are marketed towards children, Tony Perrottet’s approach does not shy away from gritty details and adult themes. Perrottet is an author and avid traveler with a history degree and has published a number of popular books related to both history and travel. His writing style is immersive, jovial, and, at times, even comical. It is clearly his goal to entertain, as he often makes comparisons between the ancient Olympics and a modern-day festival.
