Hock Tjoa Book Reading & Greek Mythology Discussion | October 9th 2019

Hock will read from his book "Agamemnon Must Die" and then lead a Q&A and discussion about Greek Mythology with a focus on Cassandra.

To sail against Troy, Agamemnon
sacrificed his virgin daughter Iphigenia.
 Ten years later, he returns victorious,
hoping that Queen Clytemnestra
has forgiven him. He is so wrong.

He will also talk about the intricacies of interweaving mythology and history in a work of historical fiction.


Hock Tjoa turned to writing, after eight years as a history teacher and twenty-five years in banking and finance. After he retired, he thought of studying Mandarin but soon got bored with text books and started translating "real stuff." One of the items was a famous book called The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, said to be the best introduction to traditional Chinese culture. From that study, four years later, came The Battle of Chibi, his first book.
