_The King Must Die_ and _The Bull From the Sea_, by Mary
Renault, are two very fine historical novels about Theseus.
All the marvels are there, and in such a way that it really
*could* have happened.  And the writing is excellent.

_Hercules, My Shipmate_, by Robert Graves, is about the
Argonauts.  I remember liking it, but not as much as Mary
Renault's novels. 

Regards,
Chris
