Set in fourth-century BC Greece, this historical novel follows Nikeratos, a stage artist who discovers an ancient mask of Apollo that imparts powerful inspiration and influence. As he becomes entangled in Greece's political conflicts, the mask evolves from a theatrical prop into a symbol of his conscience and secret struggles. Renowned for bringing the classical era vividly to life, Mary Renault's storytelling explores themes of art, power, and personal choice amid a turbulent historical backdrop.
