I laughed when the king swore that the Oracle of Delphi lied about his wife not cheating on him, and his son immediately died. Otherwise, I hated this. The story is horrible, and I listened to the worse quality audio recording I’ve ever encountered. It sounded like someone put a tall mic in front of a stage and just ran the stage play. 😂 So hard to hear, except when they played loud trumped fanfares 😦 Admittedly, I mostly read this because I needed something older than 1800 and a Shakespeare play for two different reading challenges here on Storygraph.
