More about the book

Set in the ancient city of Troezene, the story follows a young boy named Theseus, raised in the royal palace by his wise grandfather, King Pittheus. His mother, Aethra, frequently shares tales of his father, Aegeus, a great king of Attica, sparking Theseus's curiosity about his absent father. The narrative explores themes of heritage, identity, and the bond between mother and son, as Theseus yearns to understand his lineage and the reasons for their family's separation.
