1 1 y separately published work icon The Aegean Seven Take Back The "Elgin" Marbles : A Stolen Marbles Adventure Billy Cotsis , Melbourne : Thorpe-Bowker , 2022 23921614 2022 single work novel historical fiction fantasy

'When an Earl from ‘Elgin’ visits the Acropolis with a Neapolitan artist, it sets in motion a chain of events that leads to the theft of monuments from the sacred Acropolis. Taken away, never to be seen again in Athens.

'The curse of the stolen marbles and artifacts leads to a series of twists and turns that seemingly brings together, the ‘Aegean Seven’ to help reunite the artifacts with their homeland.

'What would happen if the Aegean Seven tried to take the Earl’s personal marbles? What would happen should they enlist Lord Byron to find a way to bring the Marbles home? Along the way, the Aegean Seven stumble across an array of important historical figures in Europe as they cross Greece, Alexandria, Cyrene, Romania, Italy, Geneva, France, and London.

'Set against the backdrop of the looming Greek Revolution, the Aegean Seven is led by Alcibiades and Melina. This is a fast-paced dramedy, providing the reader with a range of historical milestones in Europe between 1801-1817. A Greek style Ocean's Eleven minus Brad Pitt.'  (Publication summary)
