After having read and enjoyed the previous book, it was with some expectation that I picked up this book and while I liked it, it wasn't as good as the previous one. It loses some points as the narrator, once again Stephanos, isn't so involved in the case. He appears more like a sidekick, like a true captain Hastings, telling the story that he gets to live due to his friendship with Aristotle, who is approached by a man of silver, a merchant of that metal, whose niece disappears. However, once a

I wish I could recommend this book, but cannot.
It was easy to put down and forget about.
Yes, it gave a bit of an impression of ancient Greece, I'm sure the author had done lots of homework. But it did not come to life for me.
And the use of language is unskilled, which continually bothered me.
INteresting to note that women of respected classes in Greece did NOT show themselves to men. That is, they kept themselves hidden or covered JUST LIKE modern-day Arabian More...

Une enquête menée par le plus grand esprit de l'antiquité ou peu s'en faut, comment refuser ?
Ce roman propose de suivre Aristote et l'un de ses élèves dans une enquête ayant pour cadre le sanctuaire de Delphes et Athènes.

Roman très agréable et très documenté. Un vrai plaisir. More...

Este é o segundo livro que leio da autora e mais uma vez gostei bastante.
É uma espécie de policial passado na Grécia antiga, onde Estáfano e Aristóteles, tal como no Enigma de Aristóteles, resolvem um enigma cheio de mistérios.
Apesar de surpresas desagradáveis, exteriores à história do livro, foi um leitura muito viciante, pois queremos chegar ao fim para descobrir o que e quem está por detrás do rapto de Ântia.
