Críticas
Balancing thrills galore and much violence and sexual debauchery with a subtle philosophical debate, this is a wonderfully literate and witty historical adventure, and a major contribution to the genre? Maxim Jakubowski, Guardian ?A tale of intrigue, deception and adventure? Written in a lovely style with sparking wit, the novel combines well-crafted historical and fictional characters, who romp through Athens, scheming and seducing? Big Issue ?As a classicist, Chavarria knows of what he speaks, so moves easily from political machinations and scenes of warfare to philosophical disquisitions? Peter Guttridge, Observer

Reseña del editor
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.
