| Summary | "Lords of the World: A Story of the Fall of Carthage and Corinth" by A. J. Church is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative is focused on the dramatic events surrounding the fall of Carthage and Corinth in 146 B.C. and the struggles of the characters, particularly a young Greek named Cleanor, against the rise of Roman power." The opening of this work introduces readers to the fateful voyage of the "Melcart", a sacred Carthaginian ship, tasked with a vital mission despite the looming threat from the Romans. The ship's captain, Hanno, and his nephew, Mago, spot a Roman warship that threatens their return to Carthage. This tense encounter serves as a backdrop to depict the dire situation of Carthage as it faces imminent destruction. Following the fate of the "Melcart", the narrative shifts to the city of Chelys, where Lysis, a leading citizen, learns of Rome's brutal terms that threaten his family. The chapter ends with a poignant decision made by Lysis and his children, foreshadowing the sacrifices they must make amidst the chaos of their changing world.
