Ariadne's Web

Saberhagen, continuing the Book of the Gods series that he began with The Face of Apollo Puts his own spin on the classic story of the Minotaur. Ariadne is the daughter of King Minos of Crete, and the Minotaur is her half-brother. His body was changed when he attempted to assume the powers of a god, making him half-man, half-beast.Theseus is a young man sentenced to be sacrificed by the gods, with whom Ariadne falls deeply in love. She conspires to spare him from his grisly fate, but doesn't count on Dionysus stepping in to complicate matters. With mystical beasts and whimsical gods confronting them at every turn, Ariadne and Theseus must find their way through a maze of events that are as twisted as they are dangerous.Saberhagen, Fred is the author of 'Ariadne's Web' with ISBN 9780312866297 and ISBN 0312866291.
