"The Minotaur is dead. Theseus the bull-leaper returns to Attica from Crete. The boy-king must now be High King. He has sacked the Labyrinth, brought down the Minoan dynasty and now he must learn to rule like a god.

But these are the days when Greek kings are also pirates. So, Theseus must go raiding the Hellespont. He must seek the golden fleece, the secret of the Kentaur horse-men and the magical rites of the Amazones.

But even a hero-king can have his destiny stolen by his love.

Mary Renault writes of the time when men became heroes and heroes became gods; when myths became history and history became myth."

The book is a left over from a cousin's bookshelf.

To be released at the BC Convention 2013.

Mary Renault is a fabulous story teller. This book is a classic. I might read it as well as cart it around the world!

I dropped off a book at the wee free library in Curtin this morning, and as I turned around, I found another one, just across the street.

A breeding pair, perhaps, judging by the number of books stuffed into the second one.

I shall add this to the number.
