A brilliant retelling of the mythology of Theseus and the Minotaur recounted in first-person by Theseus himself. The historic and cultural details woven into the plot are excellent. Theseus' experiences and adventures, although fantastic, are credible.
Did the gods really speak to him? Theseus believes so. Although modern readers know that shifting plates are the real reason for the earth shaking and buildings crumbling, Theseus takes it as a sign from the gods. And the earth DOES seem to tremble at the most opportune moments for him. So maybe.......
Really fun read.

I tried to read this but couldn't get into it and have no intention of trying again
Less and less interested in reading stories focused on solely men to the exclusion of women

Was boring me out of my brain. Realising not only was i not picking it up but was actually putting it off so bye....
I’m not interested in men’s tales told again from the men’s point of view. I’m not interested in Theseus and his possible growth. His character is too static for me to care about.

I really enjoyed this book, and especially the audio of it. The narrator did a wonderful job. If you like Ancient Greek history or mythology, you will likely enjoy this one.
