Tom Billinge grew up in England enveloped in Ancient Greek mythology. Between trips to his mother's homeland of Cyprus and going on his father's field trips to Crete, Tom was surrounded with archaeology and Greek culture from a young age. After graduating with a degree in archaeology, he moved to Asia, where he explored temples and immersed himself in the martial and spiritual traditions of the East. Following several years travelling the world and writing for a living, Tom returned to the West with a longing for something deeper. This eventually brought him back to his roots and the Greek mythology of his childhood. Re-reading the hero myths of his ancestors, Tom began to see a common thread that ran throughout them. There were hidden messages from the ancients that could be deciphered and utilised by men today. Tom currently resides in New England with his wife Kristin. In addition to authoring books, articles, and essays, he also teaches Muay Thai at Radius Martial Arts Academy (a 10th Planet affiliate) and works as an editor in combat sports media.
