Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Everyone knows the tragedy of Oedipus, from his answer to the Sphinx to his pitiable blind exile, from his intended death as an infant to his terror of oracles. But who knows of Jocasta the mother from whom he was torn, the wife to whom he was joined as anything other than a plaything of kings and gods? In this richly imagined novel, Ursule Molinaro brings Jocasta to the fore, allowing her to reclaim rightful significance as matrilineal Queen of Thebes, a dreamer of shared power. Ruler, mother, lover defiant of gods' wrath Jocasta becomes an intelligent and compassionate actor, as well as a courageous person helplessly caught in a conflict of totem and taboo. The voices of Jocasta and the sexchanging palace seer Tiresias, along with the letters of Oedipus and Antigone, combine to tell of these thirtyseven years in the endless history of the sevengated city: how, by marrying her son, Jocasta became the woman without whom Oedipus has no story.
