Polyxena, daughter of King Priam of Troy, faces death for having rejected the advances of her captor. She relates her thoughts to Aphrodite, the Goddess she holds responsible for having orchestrated her fate. In them, she recounts her time with the Amazons, her capture by Achilles and how the two found romance, and how her attempts at keeping their forbidden love secret becomes known, leading to tragic consequences for both. Her introspection leads her to a surprising conclusion about the life she has lived. All the personages associated with the Trojan myths -Cassandra, Helen, Paris, Priam, and others- are given fresh life in this epic retelling of the classic story.
