Sinossi
November 1973. Professor Periklis Harvatis, working alone and late into the night on an important archaelogical dig, has unearthed a magnificent golden vase upon which the enigmatic images of a long lost, second Odyssey are engraved, showing the mystery of Ulysses&;s last and final voyage. But in the bleak chamber where he finds it he sees something so frightening that&;a broken man&;less than 7 hours later he is dead, but not before he has ensured the safety of the vase. Ten years on, a series of violently gruesome deaths connected to the rape and murder, during the student protests in Athens, of a beautiful Greek woman on the same night as Prof Harvatis&;s discovery is perplexing the authorities. Each atrocity is accompanied by dire quotes from the ancient sources exposing an ingeniously cruel mind behind these events.
Who is behind these murders? How are these two events connected? And what is the significance of the age-old prophecy of the Odyssey?
