Fate is another theme. The idea that events are pre - determined, much like a 'fire from heaven' is something sent from above, is prevalent. In ancient history novels, characters often struggle against their fated destinies. In 'Oedipus Rex', his fate is set from the start, and his attempts to avoid it lead to his downfall.
A lesser - known but interesting 'fire from heaven' - related ancient history novel might be 'The Firebrand' by Marion Zimmer Bradley. It retells the story of the Trojan War from the perspective of Kassandra, a princess and prophetess. The presence of the gods and their influence, like a 'fire from heaven', is a significant aspect of the narrative.
They give us a fictional yet detailed view. For example, in 'Gates of Fire', we can see how the Spartans lived, fought, and interacted. It fills in the gaps of dry historical facts with vivid stories.
One great 'gates of fire ancient history novel' is 'Gates of Fire' by Steven Pressfield. It offers a vivid and immersive look into the ancient Spartan military culture. The characters are well - developed, and the battle scenes are gripping.
There were many novels adapted from ancient history. The specific titles were " The Mongol War,"" The Legend of Wei Fei,"" The Ancient Emperor of Thailand,"" Gu Bu Xun Ming,"" The Phoenix Dynasty," and so on.
Well, it's hard to say for sure. Maybe some lesser-known comics with similar themes could contribute. Sometimes, it's not just mainstream ones but also underground comics that form such a story. It really depends on the creator's vision and how they stitch the narrative together.
I recommend the following novels to you:
- "Hundred Refinements Burning Immortals": A fantasy immortal cultivation novel. The protagonist obtained a mysterious flame that could burn spiritual objects in heaven and earth and restore waste treasures and pills to their original materials.
- "Koba: I'm playing with a strange fire in Uchiha." A light novel, a derivative doujinshi novel. The protagonist became a member of the Uchiha clan and obtained different types of fire escape strange fire.
