Teseo

Founder of the Athenian dynasty, king of Athens, religious reformer, great navigator and even pirate, Theseus is also credited, after having conquered a good part of Attica, with Athenian synecism: the gathering of various peoples in one city, with equality of rights among all the inhabitants and political and religious institutions. He is undoubtedly a mythical character whose legend transcends ancient times to reach today. But Mary Renault goes further, and shows us the hero not only defeating the Cretan minotaur or leading victorious war expeditions, but also in his personal relationships, his love affairs with Adriana, Hippolyta (queen of the Amazons), Freda and Helena and your entire inner world.
