The Cyprian Woman was Aphrodite, the ancient Greek Goddess of Love. To Stephen Colvin, in Greece to make a film on the life of Agamemnon, she was an archaic figure painted on a vase — until he met two women. One was Christine Lambert, author of a best-seller, beautiful, amoral, wise. The other was Erica, the Greek girl, very young, very attractive, very ingenuous. And in the sun-drenched, romantic Plain of Argos, Stephen Colvin found his scholarship at a discount as the Cyprian Woman took his hitherto sheltered life and twisted it into a cat's cradle of adventure, intrigue, passion — and ultimately tragedy.
