Grandes Viajes #41

In the year 1966, a quiet but determined journey begins when Hannón el Navegante is summoned by the sufete of Cártago to lead a bold expedition. With his son by his side, he sets sail with sixty ships and over three thousand men, venturing west and then south along the African coast, seeking new lands to claim. After encountering a mysterious island teeming with gorillas—mistaken for wild, hairy men—and facing dwindling supplies and growing unease, the crew makes the difficult decision to turn back, forging a colony along the way.

After conquering India, Alejandro Magno entrusted his admiral Nearco with the task of organizing a fleet to establish cities along the Asian coast of his empire. Setting sail from the Indus River, Nearco journeyed through the Persian Gulf, reaching the Euphrates River after months at sea, founding colonies along the way. The story follows Nearco’s voyage, guided by the challenges of navigation and the ambitions of empire, with Antíoco and Timeo among those who shape the journey’s course.
