I mentioned here that the protagonists of Poul Anderson's The Corridors Of Time and The Dancer From Atlantis are from "different eras" although only five years separate them - but those years are from 1965 to 1970.
Anderson's Time Patrol series was published from 1955 to 1995;
The Corridors Of Time in 1965;
The Dancer From Atlantis in 1972;
There Will Be Time in 1973;
all of Anderson's Ythrian stories in 1973. See here.
Amazing creativity: quantity as well as quality.
The order of publication shows the author's development but reading orders vary, e.g.:
the Time Patrol series is complete in two long volumes, to be read together;
There Will Be Time comes after the Maurai History;
The Dancer From Atlantis is one of what I call the "3 B.C." (see here and here);
The Corridors Of Time belongs with a few other works that cover more than one period.

Kaor, Paul!
I hope to someday get a good quality print of either version of Frank Frazetta's cover painting for THE DANCER FROM ATLANTIS. We too seldom see really GOOD and appropriate to the story cover illustrations for Anderson's works.
The top one, used for the book, shows an older Erissa (see the white streak in her hair), and the bottom picture a plainly younger Erissa. Both well done by Frazetta.
