Description
The Bull from the Sea Mary Renault's enthralling narrative brings to life a time when heroes battled monsters and gods strode the earth. Theseus, having freed Athens from the tribute demanded by the ruler of Knossos, returns home to find his father dead and himself the new king. But his adventures have only just begun: he must confront the Amazons, capture their queen Hippolyta, and face the tragic results of Phaedra's jealous rage. Renault weaves together fragments of myth to create a compelling story of heroism and tragedy. With her deep understanding of the cultures reflected in these legends, Renault constructs an engaging narrative that explores the complexities of human nature and the power of myth.
