The archaeologist Schliemann, after having discovered the ruins of Troy, goes to Greece together with his wife Sofia to carry out excavations in the ancient city of Mycenae. This magic place brought new finds and he found treasures that made his archaeological adventures unique in history. He is assisted by his faithful friends to whom were added a reckless young girl, Zirl, who gets up to all kinds of things. Between attacks by bandits, a very enjoyable (and also interesting) visit to Athens, the tale of Ulysses’ voyage takes place. This time it is Sofia who relates the adventures of the great hero. And it is not clear if Ulysses’ experiences or those of the reckless group of participants in this story are more fascinating.

Dos hermanos, un chico y una chica, son alejados de sus tierras germánicas y llevados a Roma como esclavos. Ella sirve a una familia noble y aprende a querer a sus amos; él debe luchar como gladiador en el Coliseo. Los azares de la vida hacen que los dos se vuelvan a encontrar: después de mil aventuras, huyen de Roma y vuelven a su tierra. Allí los bárbaros se organizan y atacan el campamento de los romanos en el río Rin. La historia se desarrolla en un Imperio romano ya en declive, entre la difusión del Cristianismo y el despertar de los pueblos bárbaros.
