Description

The Heroines by Laura Shepperson In ancient Athens, a shocking trial unfolds, threatening the royal family's reputation. Phaedra, the young bride of King Theseus, accuses her stepson, Hippolytus, of rape. The men of Athens must determine the truth, but the women know that truth is a complex and often hidden thing. As the trial progresses, the lines between innocence and guilt become increasingly blurred. This thought-provoking novel explores the lives of the women involved in the trial, shedding light on a period of ancient Greek history that has been largely overlooked. With its rich historical context and nuanced characters, The Heroines offers a fresh and compelling perspective on a pivotal moment in the city's past. Paperback, 338 pages.
