NO SPOILERS!!!

I wrote this review and it didn't get saved.......................... GRRRRR!!!!!!!!

Let me summarize by saying that this is the first in a trilogy of three books. Although it does not end with a cliffhanger, there are so many threads that left unresolved that you must continue. Immediately! I have already begun the second book The Road to Thebes: Niobe and Amphion.

The book is a novelization of the myth of Tantalus and his children Pelops, Broteas and Niobe. Pelops and Tantalus are father and grandfather of the grea More...
