Synopsis
Alcibiades is a courageous and sexy Athenian General whose physical beauty, unparalleled Olympic achievements, and reckless bravery on the battlefield earn the fanatical enthusiasm of the polis; the affection and desire of Lysis, a lusty and seductive temple prostitute; the admiration and patronage of Socrates; and the jealousy and suspicion of Nicias, one of the city?s most powerful generals and a leading competitor for the favour of both Pericles and the masses. At the centre of it all is the Eye of Cybele, a sacred jewel whose mysterious disappearance sets in motion a sequence of deceptions, subterfuges and failed schemes that ultimately undermine the self-serving ambitions of both Alcibiades and Nicias.
