Each of Ivan Bilyk's novels could have become a Laureate, but the writer received the Shevchenko Prize for his incredible book The Golden Ra. Incredible because the author seems to reveal nothing new to us, but by making the father of history Herodotus not just the main character but also his co-author, he seems to put himself above the fray or discussion. Like, whoever wants to oppose, oppose Herodotus! After all, he was the first to write it, and I'm just informing you, and from time to time I point out to the historian himself his bias or prejudice.
By the way, do you know how many people lived in Scythia Minor, that is, in Ukraine 200 years before Darius' invasion, when no one had heard of Rome? You will be surprised to know!
