Description
A novel that presents plots of ancient Greek myths in a new light. Theseus, the Minotaur, Daedalus and Icarus, Phaedra—their stories will come together through the perspective of one woman who also took part in the events described.
“Ariadne” is a story about women of ancient Greek mythology. In this book, the stories of two sisters—Ariadne and Phaedra, Crete’s royal daughters—intertwine. They grew up under their father the tyrant and alongside a creature that was forever hungry. What will the girls do when Theseus arrives on the island and they are given a chance to free themselves from Minos’s rule?
Everyone knows the story of Ariadne’s thread and the defeated Minotaur, but not everyone knows what follows after Theseus’s feat. The sisters will be separated: one will be left on an uninhabited island, the other will become a hostage of a political marriage. Having survived betrayal and the collapse of their hopes, will they be able to find happiness, love, and freedom in the cruel world of gods and heroes?
Saint opens in familiar childhood tales the abyss of women’s grief. In her book, even the mad cries of the Bacchantes acquire a terrifying, clear meaning.
