Aliens vs. Ancient Greeks

Aliens want to move into the neighborhood, but this peninsula ain't big enough for them and the perpetually warring city-states who call it home.

The aliens have a simple enough solution: one of the existing neighbors will have to go. To help them choose which one, they abduct two representatives of the city-states. It's up to quiet scholar Kassander and bloodthirsty warrior Amyklas to decide whose civilization gets wiped off the planet, but the alien world they find themselves in sets the stage for something stranger yet: a connection as irresistible as it is violent.
