Publisher's summary

The ancient Greek myth behind the romance of the flower - first edition

Roses. They're remarkable, when you think about it. All across the world, people present them to the ones they most adore, not as a mere gift, but as a tangible symbol of sincerest love.

A cynic might call such a universal gift "uninspired". After all, its common knowledge that the gesture is replicated millions of times across the world every year.

Yet, the vast majority of people who receive these humble offerings will feel truly special in doing so. To hold one between your fingers is to feel the very affection it represents. Their innate ability to express what is so often inexpressible transcends the borders of spoken language, politics, wealth, and even time.

Have you ever wondered why they have such a natural connection to the magic of love? The answer lies in a little-known tale that has never before been recorded for posterity. An ancient tale that lovers share while embracing naked beneath the stars. A tale of a man named Philip. Philip was not a mighty warrior, nor a hero of the great epics. He was a diplomat of no consequence - a minor envoy dispatched by the Athenian assembly to assist with their governance of Corinth.
