In times long past the gods still walked the Earth, and nowhere more so than amid the glory that was ancient Greece. It is 479 B.C. Latro, a mercenary soldier from the north, has suffered a head wound that has robbed him of his companions, of his past and above all of his ability to remember from day to day. His is a constant struggle to exist in an eternal present, aided only by a written record he attempts to keep, and must re-read every morning. But in compensation he can see and talk with the gods and their companions, can penetrate at will the veil of the supernatural. Here, then, are the gods and goddesses, the ghosts, demons and werewolves who inhabit the land and affect the lives of others, all unseen. Except by Latro. And therein lies both triumph and danger.
