Set in ancient Greece, the story is one of love and rebellion. Amintor, the Prince of Thrace, has fled to Arcadia with his beloved, the Princess Aurelia, to escape an arranged marriage. They live in a valley hidden from the rest of the world, but their peace is shattered when the Emperor of Greece arrives on a visit. The Emperor is accompanied by Parmenio, a treacherous advisor who plots against Amintor. Amintor is arrested and Aurelia must use all her cunning and courage to save him. The story explores the themes of love, loyalty, and betrayal, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of ancient Greece. It is a classic of early English literature and a must-read for anyone interested in the development of the Gothic novel.
