À propos de cet audio

The epic of Thesus, the boy king of Eleusis, ritually preordained to die after one year of marriage to the sacred queen but who defies God's decree and claims his inheritance - the throne of Athens. This re-creation of a Greek myth is written by the author of The Last of the Wine.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"One of the truly fine historical novels of modern times. Not since Robert Graves's I, Claudius has there been such an exciting living image of the Ancient World on this grand scale." ( New York Times)
"Takes the raw material of myth and makes it credible - I am spellbound by Miss Renault's art." ( Observer)
"Vivid and convincing...it brims with feeling." ( Sunday Times)

Blessings to Paeon Apollo--I have stumbled on a largely unknown masterpiece, and am humbled. This retelling of the myth of Theseus is more like Graves' Golden Fleece than Miller's Circe and Song of Achilles. Its writing far exceeds both.

I have never before read a depiction of the mid-2nd millennium BC collision between the Mycenean, Minoan and pre-Greek peoples as believable as in this book.

Subtle and magnificent--why is it unknown?

The narrator gave the hero of this novel a terrible quality of weakness. Certainly not the hero I would imagineTheseus to be. Every time he was in the company of someone knew it sounded like he was quivering, and uncertain of himself. This always struck me as someone who was confident and, even if he didn’t understand his path, he believed in doing the right thing.

I couldn’t finish it.
