Historical Fiction
A recreation of the story of the mythical Theseus, the able king of Athens.
Full of great deeds, bull dancing in Crete, battles up and down the ancient world of the far eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea, skirmishes with the Amazons, war with the Scythians, a meeting with Oedipus and his faithful daughter Antigone, and more, all told in a clear voice and bringing mythology to life.
