Melos has left for Syracuse to buy a ritual sword for his sister's wedding ceremony. He meets a very talented sculptor named Selinentius and they become friends. While Melos is taking a walk through the castle gardens, he is arrested. The king of Syracuse lives with the obsession that someone wants to kill him and sentences Melos to death. Melos makes a request to the king to be allowed to attend his sister's wedding and promises to come back afterwards for his punishment. The king doesn't trust him, but allows Melos to go home if he appoints a replacement for his sentence.
