A theatrical play based on a historical event from 246 BC in the history of the Seleucid Empire. It is a tragedy that attempts to clarify the terrifying extent of contradiction in the human personality, and at the same time, the sublime logic that governs its actions, no matter how strange, mysterious, or unacceptable they may seem.
