This ebook features an illustrated biography of Mary Renault including rare images of the author. The King Must Die by Mary Renault, 1959, Reprint Society edition, in English. Renault's story of Theseus continues with the sequel The Bull from the Sea. Richly imbued with the spirit of its time, this is a page-turner as well as a daring act of imagination. In this ambitious, ingenious narrative, celebrated historical novelist Mary Renault take legendary hero Theseus and spins his myth into a fast-paced and. The story follows Theseus's adventures from Troizen to Eleusis, where the death in the book's title is to take place, and from Athens to Crete, where he learns to jump bulls and is named king of the victims. The Theseus in this novel is a very lifelike figure. In myth, Theseus was the killer of the child eating Minotaur in Crete. Drawing on modern scholarship and archaeological findings at Knossos, Mary Renault's Theseus is an utterly lifelike figure-a king of immense charisma, whose boundless strivings flow from strength and weakness-but also one steered by implacable prophecy. The King Must Die is the first novel in the Theseus series, which was released in the year 1958. What the founder-hero might have been in real life is another question, brilliantly explored in The King Must Die. In myth, Theseus was the slayer of the child-devouring Minotaur in Crete.
