Reviews
- UK Roleplayers Review of Hellas - Dave McAlister is a dedicated geek, combining his enjoyment of roleplaying games with website design and runs UK Role Players.
- ENWorld review of Hellas - "I can’t recommend this book enough to anyone looking for something new and fun." - DT Butchino
- RPG.net review by Jez Gray - An "Ancient Greek" flavoured sci-fi extravaganza that should appeal to fans of films like "Jason and the Argonauts" and "300". Epic metaplot shouldn't deter those who just want some space operatic action.
- RPG.net review by James Gillen - (W)hile the concept of ancient Greeks in space might not have occurred to most gamers before, after reading this book it becomes highly attractive.
- RPG.net review by Kieran Turley - An excellent RPG for those looking for a space opera game with lots of flavour.
- RPG.net review by Matt Slepin - A very nice game with a wonderfully evocative and approachable setting about being a big, damn, Hellenic Hero in Space.
