About this audiobook

Set in ancient Greece, a powerful novel about Theseus by Mary Renault.

This is the story of the young Theseus: Prince of Troizen, King of Eleusis and Athens, and slayer of the Minotaur. Acclaimed novelist Mary Renault weaves myth, legend, history, and fiction into the story of a young hero's search for his destiny and the countless challenges he faces. From Theseus's early life as a prince, to his leadership of a captive team of bulldancers in Crete— not to mention his thrilling encounters with Poseidon— The King Must Die captures the full force of adventure, battle, and an epic quest.
