My review for BlogCritics.org:I really wanted to love Black Ships because I have advanced degrees in Philosophy with specializations in Ancient Greek Philosophy. I was one of the only undergraduates in my class to really enjoy reading Homer's Odyssey and Iliad and later Virgil's Aeneid. I found the Trojan War fascinating both historically in terms of its epic battles and strong characters, and philosophically in how it has been utilized to create certain thoughts and images in our collective consciousness (like Nietzsche's controversial discussions of the overman archetype in terms of the heroes Agamemnon and Achilles).Black Ships author Jo Graham has also been interested in this period since high school.

Sanford Holst documented this remarkable experience in Lebanon: "When I was in Tyre in 2004, the local boatmaster was just finishing one-and-a-half years of work constructing a boat by hand using the old Phoenician methods described below. It was an absolutely beautiful vessel, and he took the time to tell me about many of the details that went into it. The maiden voyage was to be two days later. On the second day, I was having lunch at the harbor in Byblos -- about 70 miles (115 km) north of Tyre -- and quite incredibly the Phoenician boat sailed directly into the harbor and docked right in front of my table! The crew was as surprised as I was. We happily celebrated their succes
