Ariadne by June Rachuy Brindel by June Rachuy Brindel PDF Free

As Minos plots against the matriarchy, as famine stalks the mountains and the people grow restive, Ariadne struggles to preserve her religion, her throne, and her life. Bold, handsome Theseus, prince of Athens, appears to offer help: but does he come to save Ariadne–or destroy her? “Ariadne is a sensitive and poetic interpretation of Minoan civilization at the end of its glory… Like the best of Mary Renault, Ariadne clothes the bones of ancient mysteries in vivid flesh and blood.” – Iris Cornelia Love, Classical archeologist “An awesome word-creation… Brindel’s premise and method were risky ones, retelling an ancient myth from unexpected points of view. Those risks made the unparalleled intensity of feeling she has captured and conveyed all the more a triumph.” – Chicago Tribune
