Publisher Description: The Throne of Labdacus is Gjertrud Schnackenberg's lyric telling of Oedipus' story, and of "what happens outside the play", through the experience of the god who is its presiding oracle: Apollo. The god of poetry, music, and healing is given the task of setting the Sophocles text to music and is woven reluctantly into its world of riddles, unanswered questions, partially disclosed oracles, and hearsay -- a world where the gods, as much as humans, are bound by fate and necessity.
