| Abstract | "Taking inspiration from the incomparably beautiful and intense poetry of Homer, Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, John Spurling--a lifelong classicist and an award-winning playwright--spins five myths for contemporary readers. These captivating tales center on male-female pairs--Prometheus and Pandora, Jason and the sorceress Medea, Oedipus and his daughter Antigone, Achilles and his mother Thetis, Odysseus and Penelope--who, in the course of their stories, destroyed dynasties, raised and felled heroes, and sealed the fates of men."--Publisher. |
