Part 1, A Parallel Life

A young man in a bleak future finds himself the subject for a new treatment, that causes him to relive moments of past lives, namely the liberation of Thebes from its Spartan oppressors, and the organisation of the Sacred Band, the ultimate expression of love and trust between men. His experiences in the ancient world begin to colour his perception of the present. Could the developments in Athens and Thebes be exactly what he needs to overcome the stagnant present?
