More about the book
The narrative centers on Laius, the king of Thebes and father of Oedipus, exploring themes of fate and prophecy. John Wright reimagines this long-lost play by Aeschylus in a Shakespearian style, primarily using blank verse with occasional rhyming couplets. The story retains the core elements of the original myth, with a creative twist on the location of Laius' death at the hands of his son, fulfilling the dire prophecy from the Oracle of Delphi. This adaptation offers a fresh perspective on a classic tale of tragedy and destiny.
