Persia 330 BC
Andronicus believes he needs little in his life apart from the love of his new wife, Idahlia. Yet as he travels, leaving behind his home in Macedonia to follow the army of Alexander the Great, his lack of means troubles him.
At first Idahlia provides the answers but as the army marches east, the pair face increasing adversity.
Andronicus' path is lightened when he is unexpectedly called to serve the beautiful - Roxane. In some ways her presence is enriching, in other ways it inhibits his progress.
Andronicus, like Heracles and Odysseus before him, endures the long, often cruel passage through a life that is tragic but ultimately renewing.
