Description

Set in the wake of the great Battle of Plataea, the story follows Pausanias, the celebrated Spartan regent who now commands the united Greek fleet. At the height of his reputation, he becomes the focal point of a dangerous web of intrigue, where loyalty and ambition clash amid the shifting tides of power. The narrative captures the tension of a man whose decisions could reshape the fate of Greece, drawing listeners into the political chessboard of ancient Athens and Sparta.

Beyond the battlefield, the tale weaves a subtle thread of the supernatural, hinting at forces that haunt both the conspirators and the haunted alike. Rendered from an unfinished manuscript and carefully restored by the author’s son, the work balances scholarly detail with romantic imagination, inviting the audience to linger on the mysteries that linger in the margins of history. Though the story pauses midway, its vivid scenes and lingering dread promise a richly textured listening experience.
