Troie est tombée. Les soldats grecs ont remporté leur guerre acharnée. Ils peuvent rentrer chez eux couverts de gloire et de trophées : or, armes, femmes. Mais les dieux, offensés par ces années de sanglants combats, en ont décidé autrement. Les vents contraires se lèvent, retenant les navires dans l'ombre de la cité détruite. Pour Briséis, la reine déchue qui porte à présent l'enfant d'Achille, et pour toutes les Troyennes, une longue attente s'annonce, mais peut-être aussi la chance, au cœur de cette guerre d'hommes, de changer le cours de l'Histoire.

La saggezza, l'intelligenza e la devozione di Calpurnia si riveleranno infatti decisive per la sorte di Roma e dell'onnipotente personalità di Giulio Cesare.

Poche donne nella storia ebbero la possibilità di distinguersi nelle discipline scientifiche, considerate appannaggio maschile. La più nota, nella tarda antichità, fu senza dubbio Ipazia, scienziata e filosofa, nata ad Alessandria d'Egitto nel 370 d.C., inventrice di strumenti come il planisfero e l'astrolabio. Figlia del matematico Teone, e lei stessa primo matematico donna della storia, fu la più nota esponente alessandrina della scuola neoplatonica, circondata dal rispetto di allievi giunti da ogni angolo del mondo.
