In the mid-19th century, two dominant tendencies prevailed in the still young Greek kingdom: the first argued that we should rely on our glorious past, hoping that foreigners would offer everything to our country, dazzled by ancient glory, while the second believed that we should first stand firmly on our own feet, become a state, and then showcase the achievements of our divine ancestors in order to achieve global recognition. These opposing views are expressed by the two main characters, the brothers Aristodimos and Dimitrakis, who are constantly at odds with each other. Who is right? The author provides the answer in an allegorical way.
