An irresistible blend of sex, politics, history and mythology, Frederic Raphaels vivid, far-reaching and often surprising take on the classical world will provoke, engage and amuse. Infused throughout with Raphaels characteristic dry humour, the details of mythological and historical personalities and events, along with the parallels of modern history, politics and society, make for an idiosyncratic and original exploration of the subject.

Frederic Raphael is one of the most prolific authors of our time. From screen scripts to novels, from short story collections to essays and memoirs, his creative pace has barely decreased. He won a Hollywood Oscar in 1965, aged 34, for his sparkling screenplay Darling, and has had great success with the films Far From the Madding Crowd and Two for the Road, as well as the TV series The Glittering Prizes and After the War.
