Shipwrecked by a storm on Slave Island, the survivors are forced, according to the law of this Republic, to exchange their status: from master, Iphicrates becomes the slave of his slave Arlequin, and Euphrosin, from mistress, becomes the slave of her slave Cléanthis.

This transformation is the work of Arlequin, who forgives his master, returns his power to him, and whose generosity is contagious.Read moreLess
