It vanished, and became the constellation Coma Berenices, which we can see any night in summer. That's the classical story  What really happened to her hair? This novel exploits the grittier facts known about the historical Berenice (for instance, she killed the first man sent to marry her, Demetrius \"the Fair\", because her mother seduced him). And it derives plot suggestions from the author's experiences in modern Libya and Egypt, such as swimming over a drowned city. Berenice was left to manage a huge intricate nation with its scheming politicians. The story takes her past three of the seven Wonders of the World - the Colossus of Rhodes, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Pyramids - but taller than them all is the natural phenomenon that saves her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuy Ottewell (www.universalworkshop.com) has lived in Europe, the Middle East, and America, as an adventurer, linguist, painter, and writer about astronomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 03, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52522320462131,"sku":"9780934546669","price":31.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/cTROV0RPdTV6V2pUVERXUmU2Q1lUUT09.webp?v=1760547314","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/berenices-hair-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
