Épicure

About the show

Epicurus loves his pupil Aspasia but believes she sees him only as a friend. Four suitors for her hand suspect Epicurus and denounce him to the Areopagus. In prison, his philosophy helps him and converts his warder; he also dreams of Wisdom. At trial, Aspasia exposes the accusers' motives, Epicurus is acquitted, and he pardons them.
