Summary
Aethra, daughter of Aegeus, king of Troezen, knows what is expected of her. She knows what she is allowed, and she knows what she can and cannot do, and she knows the kind of world people will try and build around her. She also knows the small ways in which she can dig in her heels and grit her teeth and try to keep her head high.
Or, how Theseus, who eventually becomes King of Athens, is conceived and born, and the women who enable him to rise to that future.
