À propos de ce contenu audio
History remembers him as a hero. But the women who knew him best remember a different man...
Perseus grows up wanting to be a hero, but he cannot become one if his mother Danae still sees him as a boy. When his stepfather Polydektes casts him away on a voyage across the sea, Perseus is determined to fulfil the great destiny of the son of a god and the grandson of a king. But the line between heroism and monstrosity is thin, and when Perseus attempts to seduce first gentle Medusa and then beautiful Andromeda, before finally reuniting with Danae, they each learn of the dangers of resisting a boy prepared to risk it all for greatness . . .

Commentaires
Heywood tells her story vividly, setting it convincingly in the period
A fresh and original take on the myth of Perseus . . . I was gripped by the human drama at the novel's heart. (Elodie Harper)
A beautifully woven tale, Heywood triumphantly reclaims the stories of three of Greek Mythology's most deserving women. With brilliant, confident writing, The Shadow of Perseus has illuminated the stories of ladies too often relegated to the role of villain or damsel. (Claire M. Andrews, author of the Daughters of Sparta trilogy)
Re-energizes the Perseus myth . . . By re-interpreting the familiar characters in human terms, Claire Heywood gives new life and a startling new perspective to an old tale. Original and engrossing (Margaret George, bestselling author of Helen Of Troy)
