Aspasia of Miletus comes to Athens in the age of Pericles and wins a place no woman was supposed to hold, at the centre of its politics, art and philosophy. Through her the Austrian poet-novelist brings to life Phidias, Socrates, the building of the Parthenon, the treasure of Delos and the jealousies that gathered around the most powerful man in Greece.
