Set in fourth-century B.C. Greece, The Mask of Apollo is narrated
by Nikeratos, a tragic actor who takes with him on all his travels
a gold mask of Apollo, a relic of the theatre's golden age, which
is now past. 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.
