The series contains stylistic depictions of numerous famous names from the time of classical Greece. It also depicts the archetypal feud between Plato and Socrates, a battle of essence versus existence. Alexander is fated to bring the death of the world, but Socrates says 'Is there not death without rebirth?'
Historical purists may be turned away from the cyberpunk aesthetics, but it serves a purpose of making an unfamiliar setting more palpable to a late night anime audience. Personally, I was rather giddy at the portrayal of Diogenes the mad hermit as a Yoda-like figure (English Dub). Which is to say honestly one of the few high points of the English dub.
