The Hymn to Dionysus


A timely and timeless reimagining of the story of Dionysus, Greek God of ecstasy and madness, revelry and ruin, for readers of The Song of Achilles and Elektra. Raised in a Greek legion, Phaidros has been taught to fight for the homeland he's never seen and to follow his commander's orders at all costs. But when he rescues a baby from a fire at Thebes's palace, his commander's orders cease to make sense: Phaidros is forced to abandon the blue-eyed boy at a temple, and to keep the baby's existence a secret. Years later, after a strange encounter that led to the death of his battalion, Phaidros has become a training master for young soldiers. He struggles with panic attacks and flashbacks, and he is not the only one: all around him, his fellow veterans are losing their minds. Phaidros's risk of madness is not his only problem: his life has become entangled with Thebes's young crown prince, who wishes to escape the marriage his mother, the Queen, has chosen for him. When the prince vanishes, Phaidros is drawn into the search for him-a search that leads him to a blue-eyed witch named Dionysus, whose guidance is as wise as the events that surround him are strange. In Dionysus's company, Phaidros witnesses sudden outbursts of riots and unrest, and everywhere Dionysus goes, rumors follow about a new god, one sired by Zeus but lost in a fire. In The Hymn to Dionysus, bestselling author Natasha Pulley transports us to an ancient empire on the edge of ruin to tell an utterly captivating story about a man needing a god to remind him how to be a human.

A standalone in The Hellenic Collection, it is perfect for fans of sweeping historical stories, emotional journeys, and the enduring power of love. ________________________________Praise for The Hellenic Collection:? I love books relating to World War II, enabling me to understand and learn about the struggles, sufferings and bravery of people during that time. ? I have visited beautiful Skiathos, so the vivid descriptions took me back there - the smells, the sounds, the delicious food and stunning views. The author’s affection for Greece, clearly shines through. ? The Island Between Us is another page turner from Dougie. He weaves storylines in a gripping but gentle way so the story takes a pleasing pace. He writes with deep understanding and insight into the human condition and emotions, and the characters feel so real to the reader. ? I was so upset when this book ended, that I found myself reading it again, and again. A combination of historical Greece during WWII and modern day angst…? Dougie’s description of Skiathos was perfect and I could just imagine myself sat with Tom listening to his time in the Second World War. It was so emotional.
