About this listen

Set in classical Greece, this is the riveting sequel to Mary Renault's The King Must Die.

Slaying the minotaur was only the beginning. Theseus's legendary exploits continue in this magnificent tale of mythological adventure in classical Greece. Picking up where The King Must Die left off, this stirring sequel recounts Theseus's triumphant return from Crete to become King of Athens.

Become enthralled by the thrilling adventures of this mythic ruler, from his famous capture of the Amazon Hippolyta to the bitter twist of fate that loosened the bull from the sea. Rich with color and drama, this vivid story captures the heroism and uniquely Greek sense of destiny about a royal ruler who looms larger than life.

I have read this book many times it is one of my favourite books. I was so very disappointed to find that the abridgement has cut the very soul from story and sadly Michael York's beautiful voice came across as distant and uncomfortable.

A wonderful book ruined
