The book is likely a historical drama, drawing upon the life and times of the Athenian figure Alcibiades, set against the backdrop of classical Greece during the Peloponnesian War. The main character is clearly Alcibiades himself, accompanied by major historical figures such as Socrates and Aspasia, with a focus on Athenian society, politics, and culture. The work explores the intricacies of Greek life, interweaving personal, political, and philosophical themes. The opening of the book unfolds as an extensive and personal preface by Cavallotti, describing not just the origins of the play but also the challenges he faced bringing it to completion and the stage. The account mixes autobiographical detail—including his evasion of censure and arrest in Italy, the process of writing in rural retreat, and the setbacks and eventual success in theatrical productions—with strong reflections on art, realism, and the purpose of reviving classical subjects. This is followed by an exploration of the role of women (etérae or courtesans) and the social structure of Athens, providing historical and cultural context intended as both scholarly background and dramatic groundwork for the play. Thus, the beginning paints the picture of a drama deeply rooted in classical history and literary study, candidly introduced through the author’s own experiences and insights.
