The Last Days of Pompeii
Authorship not stated
You are Glaucus, an Athenian newly home in luxury-loving Pompeii. Your friend Clodius pulls you through its streets, past a blind flower-girl who remembers your voice and a wealthy heiress angling toward marriage. All evening one name follows you: Ione, celebrated across the city for refusing every suitor. When supper ends, you finally stand in her lamplit garden, and she recognizes you before you can introduce yourself. A tall Egyptian priest watches the reunion without applause.
