| “The victorious Roman general, Quintus Caecilius Metellus, comes to Delphi, the center of creation, to seek a blessing from Apollo for his conquest of Greece. Instead, the commander finds his fate, seen by a young priestess in a mystical vision: they are one. Timarete, the young priestess, Oracle of Delphi, haunted by strange dreams, fears Metellus even before his arrival. Yet, Timarete cannot deny her vision. She will love him. And through that love, cut short by the rebellion of her people against powerful Rome, the priestess will awaken the long-forgotten compassion of a man hardened by a violent world.” |
