In a vivid depiction of Ancient Greece and its legendary heroes, The
Mask of Apollo tells the story of Nikeratos, the gifted tragic actor at
the centre of political and cultural activity in Athens, 400 B. C.
Wherever he goes, Nikeratos carries a golden mask of Apollo, a relic and
reminder of an age when the theatre was at the height of its greatness
and talent. Only a mascot at first, the mask gradually turns into
Nikeratos' conscience as he encounters famous thinkers, actors, and
philosophers, including the famous Plato himself.
