In the book's second half, the locus shifts farther out into mythic space with a parallel narrative from the Greek world that both mirrors and interweaves with the first half's here-and-now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTogether they offer a fresh, adventurous and unexpected take on a foundational mythic figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Theo Dorgan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910251364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910251362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dedalus Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.31d","brand":"Theo Dorgan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44213388738815,"sku":"9781910251362","price":23.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c2bc7736-ccba-4281-ab61-9da35bf38b19.jpg?v=1692113608","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/orpheus-theo-dorgan-9781910251362","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
