In ancient Greece, one family resided near the iconic structure during the construction of the Parthenon. Meanwhile, in present times, another family struggles to make a living at the foot of the Acropolis. The convergence of man and dog in these two distinct periods led to unforeseen and profound implications that resonated across generations.
The narrative unfolds during Greece's Golden Age, taking the reader on a journey intertwined with the lives of remarkable characters. Daria, a spirited dog, would bound up the hill to accompany Adelino, a skilled stone cutter working on the grand temple, and his son Tiro. The tale intricately weaves together the lives of Pheidias, the ingenious architect of the Parthenon, Adelino and his wife Diana, and their son Tiro, resulting in unexpected intersections and remarkable connections. The story then transcends time, bringing us to the present day, where the past and present ultimately converge, profoundly transforming the fates of humans and canines.
