The Last of the Wine

In this evocative tale set against the backdrop of the waning Peloponnesian War, young Athenian Alexias navigates a world where his noble lineage is increasingly challenged by the chaos of conflict. Drawn to the provocative philosophy of Sokrates, he forms a close bond with Lysis, as they share experiences in wrestling, the Olympic Games, and the struggles of war against Sparta. Their deepening friendship unfolds within the rich tapestry of classical Greek culture, marked by hardship and resilience.
