The New Achilles

In "Alexanor," a former soldier turned healer seeks solace at the sanctuary of Epidauros, leaving behind a life of violence. However, the encroaching war between Rome, Egypt, and Macedon threatens his newfound peace as Greek farmers become casualties in their battles. When a wounded soldier named Philopoemen arrives, Alexanor senses that this man is destined for greatness, poised to become Greece's champion and its next hero, reminiscent of Achilles.
