		After the destruction of the Athenian armament in Sicily, Hermocrates employed all his influence with his countrymen to induce them to support with vigour their allies the Lacedaemonians in the war in Greece itself.

		We learn in a lengthy prologue that the princess Leonide has fallen in love at first sight with Agis, who is unaware that he is the son of the monarchs deposed by Leonide's parents.
		Parker holds Hermocrates emotions in check like a true stoic, allowing his character's growing interest in love to be shown through his manipulative tactics and ever less-convincing rationalizations.
		Like his mentors Hermocrates and Leontine, Michael Blumenstock's Agis is a prisoner of the ego and its monolithic allegiance to ideas.

		She has also, on a country excursion, spotted the Prince bathing (a nice reversal of the conventions of the classical and pastoral myths that are never far in the background) and decided to marry him.
		But, of course, she must be the wooer, which sets the tone for further sexual reversal as she is forced to come to the austerely sexless house of Hermocrates in disguise as a man.
		But soon, through her aggressive flirtation with the one and courtship of the other, she has both Hermocrates and his sister in love with her, while the Prince Agis thinks that she is a male friend to join in his sports — including shooting arrows at an effigy of the princess.

		That man's son, Prince Agis (Jay Rodan), was born in prison and smuggled out to be raised in strict seclusion by rationalist philosopher Hermocrates (Kingsley) and his scientist sister, Leontine (Shaw), whose emotionally austere lives are devoted to intellectual and spiritual nourishment, unsullied by the frivolity of love.
		Hermocrates presents more of a challenge, unmasking the guest immediately as a woman and forcing her to invent another alter ego, Aspasie.
		Largely faithful to Marivaux's original text, the film's principal difference is in the scripters' decision to soften the finale, allowing even the scenario's losers to be enriched and uplifted by the experience as they emerge from under the weight of their own crushing dogma.

		75, 88.) According to Thucydides, Hermocrates had already given proofs of valour and ability in war, before his elevation to the command ; but his first proceedings as a general were unsuccessful: his great object was to prevent the Athenians from making themselves masters of.
		The Syracusans next, by the advice of Hermocrates, began to construct a cross wall, to interrupt the Athenian lines; but they were foiled in this project too: the Athenians attacked their counterwork, and destroyed it, while they themselves were repulsed in all their attacks upon the Athenian lines.

		Hermocrates has taught Agis to despise women--the Princess in particular (the handsome Agis even practices his archery skills on a wooden cutout of her).
		Off she goes to his estate, dressed up like a man and posing as a student of philosophy interested in Hermocrates' work in hopes of getting invited for a sojourn at their estate.
		What transpires is a hilarious comedy of errors as the Princess (and her new identity as Phocion) gets engaged to both Hermocrates and Leontine while she is hot on Agis' trail.

		That's because he lives as the virtual prisoner of a brother and sister, a philosopher named Hermocrates (Ben Kingsley) and a scientist named Leontine (Fiona Shaw.) Hermocrates is a scholar of the sort who, in tales of this sort, spends much time in his study pondering over quaint and curious volumes of forgotten lore.
		His sister, past the second bloom of her youth, is ferociously dedicated to him, and together they raise the young Agis to think rationally of all things, and to avoid the distractions of women, sex, romance, and worldly things.
		The scene between Sorvino and Shaw is one of the most delightful in the movie, as the prim spinster allows herself reluctantly to believe that she might be irresistible--that this handsome youth might indeed have penetrated the compound hoping to seduce her.

		Hermocrates has furthermore sternly taught Agis that romance and love are the downfall of the intellectual, and that women in general are not to be trusted.
		Hermocrates also has a retiring spinster sister, Leontine (Fiona Shaw of Harry Potter), who conducts science experiments in her spare time.
		The princess, accompanied by her faithful handmaiden, Hermidas (Rachael Stirling, the daughter of actress Diana Rigg), disguises herself as a male philosophy student, Phocion, in order to infiltrate Hermocrates' household.

		With this migration again, the Hermetic activity was set to repeat, between the Ptolemeans and the Roman conquest, the same strucure that had previously taken place between Egypt and Israel, as it is illustrated from Hermonthis to Hermon.
		At the beginning of the second phase, it is in Ashmunhein (the name of Hermopolis Magna when is succumbs to Rome) that the young Jesus finds refuge (and initiation) with his family in their flight to Egypt.
		It is noticeable that it is the democrat Hermocrates (meaning 'the writing of Hermes') who drives this move, which seems repeating an earlier one, when data and/or power, leaked and migrated the same way, toward Israel, thus announcing the end of Egypt beginning indeed after Akhnaton's disapearance.

	Enrico Colantoni-Guthrie Review
		The world in this case is the garden of the hermetic, ascetic philosopher Hermocrates, who has created a place devoid of love, lust or any passion at all and driven solely by reason.
		Her amorous target is Agis, a young lad who would have been prince if his father hadn't been usurped and who has been brought up by Hermocrates and his equally repressed, virginal sister Leontine.
		To woo him, the Princess must be near him, which means donning male clothes and begging Hermocrates to take her as a student.

		As originally written in the 18th century by Pierre Marivaux, the story revolves around a princess (Mira Sorvino) whose misfortune is to have fallen instantly and utterly in love at first sight with Agis (Jay Rodan), who would be the king now had not her father usurped the throne from his father.
		Agis, raised by stern philosopher Hermocrates (Ben Kingsley) and his spinster sister, Leotine (Fiona Shaw), to despise the princess and spurn all women, would seem an impossible conquest.
		The ruse works and soon she is winning over Hermocrates as well and finally beguiling lonely Agis that they could be best of friends.

		Hermocrates shares a beautiful country estate of infinite charm with his spinster scientist sister Leontine (Shaw).
		Fast on her feet, the princess, now calling herself Phocion, a young scholar in search of intellectual and spiritual stimulation, sets out to seduce brother and sister alike, with Hermocrates swiftly deducing she is a woman, while befriending the lonely, handsome and innocent Agis.

		Agis lives in seclusion with Hermocrates (Ben Kingsley, A.I. Sexy Beast), and one of Hermocrates' rules is that Agis stay away from all women.
		In short order, she has all three madly in love wit her (of course, after Agis discovers she is a woman).
		She can think quickly on her feet, which enables her to get as far as she does, and also is the cause of many of her problems late in the movie.

		To be near Agis, Leonide disguises both herself and her lady page, Corine (Leigh Scarritt), as young men, and they enter the garden, where Leonide's manly guise is quickly discovered by Herocrates and his gardener, Dimas (Paul James Kruse).
		And there's also the well-written duet "The Tree," in which siblings Hesione and Hermocrates realize that a life of solitary contemplation could be improved with an occasional roll in the hay.
		As Hermocrates, Hawkins showed versatility, transforming from a high-minded ascetic to a giddy, foppish romantic.

		Certainly, Critias, we will grant your request, and we will grant the same by anticipation to Hermocrates, as well as to you and Timaeus; for I have no doubt that when his turn comes a little while hence, he will make the same request which you have made.
		In order, then, that he may provide himself with a fresh beginning, and not be compelled to say the same things over again, let him understand that the indulgence is already extended by anticipation to him.
		Friend Hermocrates, you, who are stationed last and have another in front of you, have not lost heart as yet; the gravity of the situation will soon be revealed to you; meanwhile I accept your exhortations and encouragements.

		And therefore, as Hermocrates has told you, on my way home yesterday I at once communicated the tale to my companions as I remembered it; and after I left them, during the night by thinking I recovered nearly the whole of it.
		Truly, as is often said, the lessons of our childhood make a wonderful impression on our memories; for I am not sure that I could remember all the discourse of yesterday, but I should be much surprised if I forgot any of these things which I have heard very long ago.

		Hermocrates does not tolerate women in his garden, so in order to get close to Agis, Leonide disguises herself as a man (Phocion) and hopes to convince Hermocrates to take her/him on as a student.
		She must first seduce Hesione (in her disguise as a man) and Hermocrates (as a woman) and then finally revealing herself as a woman to Agis, she convinces him that she's Cecile - an orphan who has run away from a forced marriage to her cousin by their common enemy - Leonide.
		TRIUMPH OF LOVE is both funny and heart-warming, as you see what lengths the Princess will go to to get her man. While the production only utilizes one set (the garden), it works well for this musical.

		O wise Hermolaus with the God-bearing Hermippus, and august Hermocrates, as sacred priests of the Most High, ye who offered the Unbloody Sacrifice rightly were yourselves stained with your own blood as sacrifices offered up to Christ the One God; and now with boldness ye pray that all may be saved.
		When Saint Panteleimon was seized as a Christian and was asked by Maximian who it was that had turned him from the idols, the Saint, enlightened by God that the time of his teacher's martyrdom also was at hand, revealed to Maximian that it was Hermolaus the priest.
		Saint Hermolaus was taken with Saints Hermippus and Hermocrates, and when they had confessed Christ to be the only true God, they were beheaded in the year 305.
