"La
caverna de las ideas" es
una obra griega clásica
que narra una intrigante historia:
diversos asesinatos ocurridos
en la época de Platón.
Cuerpos mutilados de efebos son
descubiertos en las calles de
Atenas, crímenes inexplicables
que no parecen seguir ningún
orden lógico. Héracles
Póntor, el Descifrador
de enigmas, se encargará
de resolverlos con ayuda de uno
de los filósofos de la
célebre Academia platónica,
Diágoras de Medonte. Sin
embargo,
The
Athenian Murders
In ancient Athens, one of the
pupils of Plato's Academy is found
dead. His idealistic teacher Diagoras
is convinced the pupil's death
is not as accidental as it appears,
and asks the famous Heracles Pontor,
the "Decipherer of Enigmas,"
to investigate. As the death toll
rises, the two men find themselves
drawn into the dangerous underworld
of the Athenian aristocracy, risking
their own lives to solve the riddle
of these young men's deaths. Simultaneously,
a second plot unfolds: that of
the modern-day translator of the
ancient text, who, as he proceeds
with his work, becomes convinced
that the original author has hidden
a second meaning in the text,
one that can be interpreted through
certain repeated words and images.
As the story advances, however,
the translator is alarmed to discover
references to himself, which seem
to address him personally in an
increasingly menacing fashion.
