Jocasta: The Mother-Wife of Oedipus

(CreateSpace) This book, part of The Tapestry of Bronze series, retells the classic play Oedipus Rex through the eyes of Jocasta, Oedipus’ wife and mother. It covers 40 years in her life — and examines if she realized she married her son and if she did, what she did about it — and paints a vivid picture of life in Bronze Age Thebes. Other books in the series include: The Children of Tantalus, The Road to Thebes, and The Arrows of Artemis. Underwood is an executive vice president at an insurance brokerage firm.
