Cephalos, Ward of Eleusis, is a five-book volume of translations of the Archival Chronicles of Mentör, son of Alkimos (born in 1285 BC). By the end of the five books, such histories by entablature, beginning with the grandparents of Cephalos and continuing through his parents' ascendancies, have related his own great rise, spanning from 1380 to 1362 BC. In style of a protohistory about early Greece, S. W. Bardot adapts his mastery of the Oldest Greek texts to translations of scripted Linear B, all by other scholars of antiquity as most adept to Mentör's writ. That contemporary narrator, a conceit of the Bardot Group, looks back from an ensuing century, the thirteenth BC. Mining his few greatest sources to an early life of Cephalos, by the span of his fourteenth-century BC Saronic Gulf Years, these earliest composed chronicles serve as mostly biographical and regional essays. In amalgamation they render a maritime impresario of doughtiest challengers to the last Great Minos ever over imperial Crete. This Prelude to the later book releases stages off Cephalos' mother, the Eleusinian priestess and Attican princess Hersë, and off his father, Deion, a martial-at-arms most capable of imbuing his son with the broad tactical repertoire he exercised at overland warfare and by dueling in melee. Throughout Cephalos' boyhood and early teenage years, his parents and extended royal family offer him ample resources and collaborations that would enable skilled artisan colleagues and ennobled comrades their own career ascendancies. Increasingly men nearest his age, they coalesce into the covert and compelling coalitions that bring the last ever imperial Minos over Crete to utter ruin.
