While Athens is in an uproar over a series of murders of prominent Arab businessmen, Dimitris, a young thief, accidentally discovers the identity of the killer, a strange Greek- American woman who was born in Athens and bears the name of Olga Robards. The young man decides that he must get to know this woman at all costs and seeks the aid of the so-called “the Scientist”, a recluse and fugitive from the law who is considered a real authority on crime. They will both meet the killer who turns out to be a charismatic woman on the brink of death.
1638, the year Louis XIV was born –his second name, Dieudonné, alluding to his God-given status– saw the diffusion of a cult of maternity encouraged by the very devout Anne of Austria, in thanks for the miracle by which she had given birth to an heir to the French throne. Simon François de Tours (1606-1671) painted the Queen in the guise of the Virgin Mary, and the young Louis XIV as the infant Jesus, in the allegorical portrait now in the Bishop’s Palace at Sens.
Byzantine medical art was grounded in the Greco-Roman medicine transmitted by Hippocrates and Galen and new concepts introduced by such physicians as Oribasios of Pergamon, Aetius of Amida, Alexander of Tralles and Paul of Aegina.
