"The Gospel According to Oxyrhincus" is the portrayal of the revolts buried alive, matching the story of Antigone and her brother Polynices, with the character of Zusha Mal'ak - a Jew who is searching for the Messiah and comes upon a society which has already found its Messiah - and the utopian revolutions which ended in blood.
