The Queen's Seed
T01156227741
A few days have passed since Theseus has killed the Minotaur and fled to the island of Naxos with Ariadne. Pasiphae has been cast aside. Her son's and abandoned daughter's deaths have been kept from her. Pasiphae rushes into the labyrinth, waits for her son, hoping to find him and bring him back to the palace. She harks back to her passion for the white bull and recounts her romantic adventures with her husband Minos, and her revenge after she has contaminated his sperm with scorpions, snakes and millipedes. Tiffaine is a sporty young woman who loves basketball. She recounts stories about Greece in the post-millennium, remembering the beginning of the financial crisis, the Olympic Games and their negative effects on the whole of society. Her narrative is based on a true story which took place in Greece in 2012 and was published in the media: an adolescent girl whose family was affected and impoverished by the crisis and who suffocated and died in a fire.
