213 BC. The great inventor Archimedes has just one problem. His clumsy servant young Lydia is the bane of his life. But when the Romans besiege Syracuse & the Greeks turn to Archimedes for help it is young Lydia who always seems to come up with the answers. Of course Archimedes is a lion in the eyes of the folk of Syracuse. He takes all the credit but thats life for a Greek girl slave. As Aesop said You may share the labours of the great but you will not share the rewards.
