Pavlos est rentré à Athènes sans raison précise et sans même réserver son billet de retour pour Paris où il vit et travaille depuis plus de vingt ans. Il redécouvre une ville, une culture, ses origines, un pays très jeune et très vieux à la fois et choisit bientôt d'élucider un mystère qui semble contenir toutes ses incertitudes : quel est donc le sens de la fameuse lettre E jadis suspendue à l'entrée du Temple d'Apollon à Delphes?
1995
