Summary

"A rambling but charming tale of the loves of actor and Homer scholar Kebren and Biote; and their sons Rhesos (sculptor), and Thrasillos (architect) who love Earines and Melissa respectively. Having perfected their trades in Athens, working on the Parthenon, they set to building a temple in Aulis. Despite storms and earthquakes due to Poseidon's anger, it is dedicated to Aphrodite. Rhesos carves the statue of Aphrodite from Earines."--Bookseller's description.
