Spurred on by the awful prophecy of the Oracle Oedipus fled Corinth to avoid slaying his father. But he was a founding, and the lord he killed on the road to Thebes was his natural sire… the queen he thus widowed — and married — his mother. For centuries the legend of Oedipus has obsessed mankind. In this dramatic recreation of the story Henry Treece weaves the legend with his own wide knowledge of the Ancient World to produce a novel that is simultaneously true to the legend and historical fact.
