The Gryphon's Skull is a historical fiction novel written by H. N. Turteltaub. It follows the adventures of Menedemos and his cousin, Sostratos. It is the second book in the Hellenic Traders series.
Plot introduction
The book centers around the discovery of an apparent gryphon skull (in reality a skull from a dinosaur), and the efforts of Sostratos to get the skull back to scholars for study.
Setting
The novel takes place in the areas around Greece approximately fourteen years after the death of Alexander the Great. As with the first book in the series, characters and locations are given a more literal transcription of their Greek names than the more common anglicized Latinizations.
