Bessatsu Olympia Kyklos

Demetrios would rather paint pottery than satisfy his village's demands for athletic glory. Under pressure in ancient Greece, the gentle apprentice suddenly finds himself in Tokyo in 1964, surrounded by unfamiliar customs and excitement over the Olympics.

A professor who speaks ancient Greek helps him navigate the city, where sports and everyday Japanese life offer unexpected inspiration. Carrying what he learns between two eras, Demetrios tries to solve problems back home. Unfortunately, ideas that make perfect sense in one society can become wonderfully complicated in another.
