How complex was Oedipus? How do you solve a problem like Medea? Nero or hero? Alexander, how Great? 
We're talking interviews with the historical heroes Cleopatra, Queen Nefertiti, Marcus Aurelius, Michaelangelo, Xenophon, Boudica, Hypatia, and Constance Wilde. 
Take this with a pinch of salt because there are also some etymology and idiom origins. 

Guests include a labyrinth of classical lovers, from archeologists to astronomers.
