Über diesen Titel
Young and beautiful, born to a powerful family, Jocasta is destined to become Queen of Thebes. Trapped in a loveless marriage, she cannot save her firstborn child from her husband's wrath. Left alone on the throne after her husband's death, she must contend with the dangerous Sphinx and contrive a plan to protect her city. Charmed by a foreign prince, she does not know she is falling in love with her own son....
“Authors' portrayal of desperate human struggle against prophecy as spirited as the Queen herself – wonderful follow-up to Oedipus Rex” (Historical Novel Society Online)
“An absorbing, quasi-historical portrait of ancient Greece ... well-balanced update that maintains the original's mythic suspense” (Kirkus Discoveries)
