The story begins with a theatrical shift in Athens, where the audience is distracted by the arrival of urgent news from the fleet. Callias, a young naval officer, brings a dispatch revealing that the Athenian fleet, under the command of Conon, is blockaded in the harbor of Mitylene by a superior Spartan force.
