This is the classic story of the young Theseus - Prince of Troizen, King of Eleusis and Athens, slayer of the Minotaur. Mary Renault's powerful novel captures the modern imagination by weaving myth, legend, history, and fiction into the story of a young hero's search for his destiny, or moira. If you like The King Must Die, try The Bull from the Sea.

What disappointed you about The King Must Die?
First why adbridge it , Mary Renault is a wonderful intellegent writer and it is great story.
What didn’t you like about Michael York’s performance?
He has a great speaking voice , but what a waste . I couldn't finish it . I felt like I was being droned and lectured at :(
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The King Must Die?
Cut none of it !!!
Any additional comments?
I would love to have her books available , part of the problem with her books is they are not for the lazy reader , she uses language and words you rarely hear these days . Alot of the pronunciation is difficult as few of us know Greek . I had been hoping for a lazy way to enjoy her books and didn't get it.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 387
This is a spellbinding tale woven of equal parts epic and myth - with a liberal dash of hard science fiction. When a one-way time tunnel to Earth’s distant past, specifically six million B.C., was discovered by folks on the Galactic Milieu, every misfit for light-years around hurried to pass through it. Each sought his own brand of happiness. But none could have guessed what awaited them. Not even in a million years....

Not happy at first, a good reader when you get into it.

Loved it right from the start , really enjoyed the whole series , and read them every couple of years , just as I do Lord of the Rings .
