• Summary:

  Theseus was the best king Athens ever had, until he disappeared without a trace. Spartalis, a loyal subject and clinging to the good old days, cannot tolerate this. He undertakes to investigate the people from Theseus’ past, in order to discover his present, with the hope of a better future. Along the way he learns the true story behind the myth… A feminist version of the famous ancient greek tale for young people and adults. Thysia (paraphrasing Theseus) means sacrifice in greek.
