The Courage of Innocence

(The Virgin of Phileros)

When she is deceived by her Uncle and sold to the Temple of Phileros as the Initiate Virgin, Eunice, the Pastor's Daughter, is confronted with the intrigues of paganism that seek to destroy her virginity and her Christian faith. Trophemus, her cousin, vows to do everything possible to obtain her release from the Temple, while the High Priest continually adds extra tasks to be achieved in order to frustrate him in his quest. The clash of Christian faith and behaviour with the promiscuous freedom of other religious cults are the battles both for Eunice and Trophemus.
