A thoroughly modern tale of politics, spin-doctoring, and media manipulation. As the harsh wind holds the Greek fleet trapped in the straits at Aulis, frustration and political impotence turn into a desire for the blood of a young and innocent woman - blood that will appease the gods and allow the troops to set sail. And when Iphigeneia, Agamemnon's beloved daughter, is brought to the coast under false pretences, it looks as if the ships will soon be on their way. But can a father really go to these lengths to secure political victory? And can a daughter willingly give up her life for the worldly ambitions of her father?

If you could sum up The Songs of the Kings in three words, what would they be?
atmosphere, scheming and misogynyWhat was one of the most memorable moments of The Songs of the Kings?
The scene in which Iphigenia and her slave were discussing which of them would be the human sacrifice and why.What about Andrew Sachs’s performance did you like?
He captured the unique qualities of the different characters...there was no mistaking one from the otherWas this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
YesAny additional comments?
Unsworth has become one of my favorite authors. He explores large themes in his fiction with fully developed characters who are compelling in their own right. His psychological insights are astute.The politics of power haven't changed.

Andrew Sachs must have been a great actor hiding under the costume of an ordinary man.
I emerged from this book dragged back into the now from the then, dizzy with wonder.
