Note du spécialiste

Hamilton Fraser's interest in Greek mythology is explored in a series based on the myth of Agdistis.

A powerful hermaphroditic daemon representing neither good nor evil, Agdistis was considered to embody all the powers of creation and used these powers to wreak chaos and havoc.
