In the play, Athena wakes from a thousand-year sleep to find her city in ruins and under foreign occupation. She&#8217;s then whisked to Hungary, where a new center of learning and culture is being created.<br>For the play, Beethoven composed an overture and eight musical pieces, the best-known of which is the famous Turkish March (which is also the subject of his Opus 76 variations).
