The Murder Of Plato
Publishing date:27 october 2020
Synopsis:
Altea, daughter of Perseus and one of Plato’s most brilliant disciples, doesn’t know that her life and the life of her baby are in danger. Her friend and teacher Plato risks his life to try to bring his great project to life: joining politics and philosophy so that reason, justice, and wisdom will govern instead of corruption, ignorance, and the empty rhetoric of demagogues. The backdrop is the rise of a new power and a general with an aura of invincibility that call into question the survival of Sparta and Athens itself. Tension, intrigue, betrayal, and a love that defies its era come together in a novel that impeccably recreates classical Greece and the thinking of the greatest philosopher of Antiquity.
