Immersed in the turbulent politics and fratricidal wars of Ancient Greece, Phidias is wounded in battle and joins Aristotle as a student of Plato. He falls passionately in love with the beautiful Thais, but is desperately torn away to join Aristotle, then Alexander the Great on his glorious conquests. A witness to epic battles, bloody assassinations, and twisted conspiracies, he struggles to guide the young conqueror through his personal turmoil. After giving birth to the great library of Alexandria, Phidias with perseverance finally returns to Athens to fulfill his destiny and find a lost love. This epic tale of love and war, sex and murder deftly captures the setting in Ancient Greece to stunning effect. Historical characters such as Aristotle and Plato, Philip of Macedon and his son Alexander, and the great orator, Demosthenes, surround the fictional character Phidias in his adventure through a drama-filled part of history.
