The story follows Captain Mago, a seasoned sailor from Tyre, as he embarks on an expedition to Tarshish, prompted by King Hiram's desire to assist King David in building a temple in Jerusalem. The narrative weaves together elements of adventure, historical context, and the rich cultural backdrop of ancient Phoenicia. At the start of the book, Captain Mago is summoned by King Hiram, who commissions him to gather silver and other valuable resources for the temple. Delighted by the opportunity, Mago prepares for the voyage while interacting with his companions, including Hanno the scribe and Himilco the pilot. They pay homage at the temple of Ashtoreth before assembling their crew and embarking on their journey. The opening scenes establish the dynamics between characters and foreshadow potential conflicts, particularly regarding a rival sailor, Bodmilcar, who harbors jealousy towards Hanno. The narrative sets the stage for Mago's adventurous expedition while delving into the relationships and desires of these ancient mariners. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
