They raise Agis away from the things of this world, under the suspicion of women. Having caught a glimpse of Agis, Leonid immediately develops a very strong inclination for him, and decides to restore his rights by offering him, with his hand, the possibility of sharing his throne. With the help of her maid, Corinne, she imagines a ploy as bold as it is ingenious. Buying the silence and complicity of Harlequin and Dimas, Hermocrates' valet and gardener, the princess, disguised as a man, enters, under the name of the traveler Phocion, into the philosopher's house, from which she pretends to seek his wise advice. In the face of his mistrust, in order to deceive his vigilance, she reveals her sex, and confesses to the austere philosopher a love that he, she says, inspired in her. He quickly succumbs to her charms. Written by Guy Bellinger See less
