Theseus: Volume 2

Theseus #2

by Jordan Holt

Theseus is a well-known figure in mythology for defeating bandits, killing the minotaur, and ruling over Athens. While the story itself is a fable, there is likely a true story that undergirds the legend. This is most definitely not it.

This is a satirical retelling of Theseus' second set of four adventures on the way to and within Athens. And rather than powerful hero from the myth, Theseus is neither very strong nor particularly smart, and is simply swept up in a tide of accidental fortunes as well as the schemes and mischief of a host of bored gods.

After learning that his father is king of Athens, Theseus sets out on foot to meet him, encountering bandits and beasts across the landscape of Ancient Greece.
