The Golden Wind is an historical novel by L. Sprague de Camp, first published by Doubleday in 1969. It is the fifth and last of his historical novels, both in order of writing and chronologically.
The novel concerns the adventures of Eudoxus of Cyzicus and Hippalus on the first voyages by sea from Egypt to India. Following these, it deals with Eudoxus' efforts to circumvent the newly established Egyptian monopoly on trade with India by pioneering a new route around the west coast of Africa, which are ultimately defeated by misadventure and the sheer extent of the continent.
