The Bull From The Sea

Product Description

This second instalment in the story of the legendary hero begins with Theseus' triumphant return from Crete after slaying the Minotaur.

Having freed the city of Athens from the onerous tribute demanded by the ruler of Knossos
- the sacrifice of noble youths & maidens to the appetite of the Labyrinth's monster
- Theseus has returned home to find his father dead & himself the new king. But his adventures have only just begun: he still must confront the Amazons, capture their queen, Hippolyta, & face the tragic results of Phaedra's jealous rage.

Piecing together the fragments of myth & using her deep understanding of the cultures reflected in these legends, Mary Renault has constructed an enthralling narrative of a time when heroes battled monsters & gods strode the earth.
