Reddit reviews Creation: A Novel

There already is book pretty much based on this. It's called 'Creation' by Gore Vidal! It's one of my favorite books. It's about a zoroastrian diplomate from the Persian Empire and his visits to China, India and, Greece!

Creation

There is a book about this, called Creation, by Gore Vidal. Also, you might be interesting in reading about the idea of Axial Age.

Creation by Gore Vidal. It is historical fiction set in the 5th century BC. A man travels the ancient world, seeking out knowledge and enlightenment from the Greece to India to China.

Wikipedia states, "As noted in Vidal's own introduction, it can be considered a "crash course" in comparative religion, as during the story, the hero sits down with each of the religious/philosophical figures (apart from Socrates) and discusses their views."

edit: while you are at the Amazon page, check out Vidal's other historical fiction, such as Julian, and Hollywood.
