Sama the Prince

Sama, “Samalon”, son of Apollon, son of Atalon for whom Atlantis is named.  Seven hundred years after the volcano that destroyed the kingdom of Atalon (Atlantis) the island was refounded by Theras, son of Austesion, descendant of the hero Cadmus; it is from Theras that the island receives its name, “Thera”.  Our story occurs before the age of heroes during the age of demigods, Apollon being the human manifestation of the divine Apollo.  Archeological evidence suggests trade between the Aegean Sea’s Doric-Ionian cultures and the North Americas.  D.N.A. gives evidence that several American Indian nations have a Mediterranean ancestry.  It is likely that the towns of Akrotiri and Knossos share a common culture.  The jealous eruption of Kaptara scatters the Atlanteans and civilizes the Classive world.   Our story tells the history of Prince Samalon and the remarkable Aiyana, daughter of Kubaba.

Description

Alone in her mother’s alcove at a window warmed by late-afternoon’s sun, AIYANA with reverential care arranges her mother’s sacred garments, ritual jewelry and priestly rings, each in a species of unique ceremony, and here in dressing we witness the transfiguration of a common village girl into a high and splendid priestess.  KUBABA quietly behind, toward AIYANA enters, observes the scene with a gaze sweetly sad.  KUBABA: I recall when last she assumed the goddess’ mantel.  AIYANA: As do I, father.  KUBABA: Seems that I see her now.  AIYANA: If only that were so.

Volume I of the Aegea Trilogy, Sama the Prince.

Description: At the dawn of civilization, the innocent Aiyana awaits the return of the Atlantean prince, Sama.  Three years previous she was néos, the chief’s daughter who amused the prince.  Now in the first flower of womanhood, her romantic longing is brightened by anticipation of the festival, the prince, the mystery.

Then too, Sama the Prince is a screen-novella, a form of my own invention, a thing alike a screenplay, suitable as a script though rather more entertaining, more readable…I hope you agree.

This book is from one of three trilogies written to generate the movie industry of a new Florida city, AEGEA (Architecture and Entertainment in a Global Exhibition of Architecture) that I was commissioned to design.  Two screen-novella of the other trilogies will be published later this year, Bunyan’s Chores (15 October 2024) and Appleseed’s Progress (15 December 2024).
