Ancient Olympia, 432 B.C. The sculptor Phidias is working on completing the enormous chryselephantine statue of Zeus. Alongside him in the workshop is Agesilaus, his young nephew. In Agesilaus' company are Teucer, the son of the leader of the sanctuary's guard, and their peer, Thalia, the daughter of the city's most prominent innkeeper. One night, the two boys secretly enter the temple of Zeus and there, well hidden, they happen upon a strange man stealing gold from the base of the sacred statue. The next day, the priests of the temple accuse the sculptor Phidias, as his cup, bearing his name, was found at the scene of the theft. From then on, the three friends begin a secret investigation to uncover the real thief. Who sought to incriminate Phidias and why is the smooth running of the Olympic Games at risk?
