At first his mascot, the mask gradually becomes his conscience, and he refers to it his gravest decisions, when he finds himself at the centre of a political crisis in which the philosopher Plato is also involved. Much of the action is set in Syracuse, where Plato's friend Dion is trying to persuade the young tyrant Dionysios the Younger to accept the rule of law. Through Nikeratos' eyes, the reader watches as the clash between the two unleashes all the pent-up violence in the city.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46325613035678,"sku":"ADS-9781844089567","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781844089567.jpg?v=1766547024","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781844089567","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
