Pasiphae

About the book

A stunning re-telling of the Greek myth 'Pasiphae', the wife of King Minos of Crete, which tells the story of her uncontrollable passion for a white bull - a passion which she persuades the inventor Daedalus to help her consumate. So that Pasaphae can have sex with the bull, Daedalus builds a wicker cow to hold her - it is a dangerous and desparate attempt but it succeeds and Pasiphae gives birth to the Minotaur. A remarkable debut novel that builds on one of the most powerful of Greek myths and invests it with extremes of passion, sexuality and revenge.
