In Athens  crowds flock to the Agora  where the most shocking trial of the ancient world is
about to shake the city to its very foundations . . . Theseus  King of Athens and legendary

man of honour  sworn to the service of the goddess Artemis. Now the men of Athens are gathering
to determine the truth. Each man will cast his vote  and thus decide the fate of the queen. But
what of the women of Athens? They have many stories to tell  about Hippolytus and the men like
him. Stories that have gone unheard. Until now . . .
