Synopsis
After suffering a head wound at the Battle of Plataea in 479 BC, the mercenary soldier Latro loses the ability to form new memories, forgetting everything each time he sleeps. To compensate, he keeps a journal of his wanderings through ancient Greece, recording encounters with gods, spirits, and mythological beings that only he can perceive.
