We first meet Athenian leaders witnessing Pausanias' descent into opulence, a stark contrast to his former honor, sparking concern and ambition in Athens. The heart of the story beats with themes of rivalry and doomed love, especially Pausanias' bond with Cleonice, complicated with suggestions of eerie supernatural forces that cast a shadow over their fates.
