Dans la Gr�ce antique, la po�tesse Sapho se meurt d'amour pour la jeune Tassadit, qui se laisse volontiers courtiser. Mais Tassadit est promise en mariage � Iphitos, un riche armateur de l'�le de Lindos. Sapho se suicide en laissant une lettre d'adieu douce-am�re. Voici la premi�re victime de la fatalit� amoureuse dans ce roman sensuel, inspir� par l'incroyable libert� des moeurs en Gr�ce antique. Que les coeurs se brisent ! Hermog�ne, qui aime plut�t les gar�ons, souffre de m�priser celui qu'il adore ; Cl�is, la courtisane, seins menus et jambes sans d�faut, idol�tre le bel Iphitos, jusqu'� la destruction, la sienne et celle des autres ; Tassadit, elle, incarne la maternit�... Derri�re ces intrigues qui se nourrissent de chair et de larmes, derri�re l'apparente sagesse de cette civilisation, Patrick Besson explore les errances de la passion, raconte la Gr�ce immortelle, odeurs de pins et combats de fauve, �p�es qu'on d�gaine et navires qu'on arme pour de longues travers�es.
