Description
La novela, un thriller basado en la antigua Grecia, nos descubre una realidad poco conocida y a veces mal contada: la vida cotidiana en la Atenas del siglo I d. C., salpicada de aventuras, raptos y maleficios, juegos olímpicos y tradiciones. El Areópago, la colina de Ares en Atenas, revela a los mismos jóvenes (y menos jóvenes) de Atenas las glorias de un pasado esplendoroso, pero, al mismo tiempo, las vicisitudes de unas vidas azarosas. Con cierto suspense mantenido de forma constante, el autor nos narra la vida de Learco, un joven ateniense, protagonista, y de su pandilla de amigos, que se verán envueltos en toda suerte de pequeñas aventuras y se encontrarán con personajes que les dejarán huella. Pero, sobre todo, la novela narra la historia del camino que en la vida de Learco conduce a su madurez y mayoría de edad. El autor entreteje historia y elementos de ficción, tratando de recrear el ambiente que les tocó vivir a los efebos griegos. Además, se da a conocer un encuentro entre civilizaciones, dotándolo de una cierta emoción, en la época helenística y romana de la cultura griega antigua.
