Riassunto

The Chronicles of Pericles denotes a collection of ancient manuscripts, supposedly unearthed adjacent to the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, when the city was preparing for the 2004 Olympic Games.

 The chronicles are so named because the chief character appears to be Pericles. He may or may not be the same Pericles, more commonly known as the Greek statesman and general, who ruled during the 5th century BC, the greatest age of Athens.

 Within these chronicles, time and place are not important. The stories are as told in an ancient language and set in a time that could be called Greek "Dreamtime." It appears the original author was familiar with both Homer's works and Greek mythology.

 This historical adventure follows the discovery of these manuscripts and how copies came to be in the hands of "The Pericles Committee." Of the original seven manuscripts, only three have been translated. What will the other four show?
