The first book is now my favorite version of this myth, as it offers a more realistic story of what happened in Crete. I’m savoring this book, as I want it to last as long as possible. Renault wrote so beautifully, with lovely metaphors and imagery. I’ll probably buy more of her books. Review: Wonderful following up on 'The King must die'. Very accurate! - I really enjoyed and loved the first book about Theseus, but the second book was a bit more hard to get through, actually until I reached the telling about the desertcarts. I love how Mary Renault continuously rewriting the myths and gods to fit into an actual living and realistic stories, and how she uses many and correct scenes from the ancient Greek. I like that the gods are not envolved in that way as they manifests themselves as living objects, but instead are alive in the spirit of the people. She has a very fine and beautiful way to tell about the humans dedications to the gods, in which actually make them living in a way. However, as I said about her first book, her language is very.. hmm, not playful and a bit monotonous for my taste, but maybe this is something about the time the book was written in. Thats why the four stars only! I liked the story and the complexity of it, but the sadness is that the language style it sometimes makes the story a little boring. So be prepared! I wished the language was more poetic and beautiful in style, and that she had played more with adjectives. The story however, makes it worth reading, definetely! And it doesen't stop me for reading her other books. The next scheduled is her first book 'The Last of the Wine' from 1956, set in Athens during the Peloponnesian War; the narrator is a student of Socrates. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #185,737 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #316 in Classic Action & Adventure (Books) #652 in Folklore (Books) #1,413 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction | | Book 2 of 2 | Theseus | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (712) | | Dimensions | 5.19 x 0.8 x 8 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 0375726802 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0375726804 | | Item Weight | 10.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | July 10, 2001 | | Publisher | Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group | ## Images ![The Bull from the Sea - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fR41Gn6DL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent continuation of Theseus’ story *by N***A on August 20, 2025* This book, which is the sequel to Renault’s The King Must Die, is a fantastic retelling of the second part of the Theseus myth.

Very accurate! *by A***G on March 23, 2021* I really enjoyed and loved the first book about Theseus, but the second book was a bit more hard to get through, actually until I reached the telling about the Amazons.

Renault knew so much and crammed so much of it into her series, for new readers or very scholarly mature readers there are loads of exciting and intertaing hours in side. The last of the wine, the Persian Boy and the mask of Apollo are excellent as well. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Bull from the Sea - The King Must Die: A Novel - The Last of the Wine --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/12673292-the-bull-from-the-sea](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/12673292-the-bull-from-the-sea) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
