A king who cannot escape a prophecy.

A princess trapped by her father's obsession.

A young prince determined to win a kingdom at any cost.

And a charioteer with a strip of wax in his hand.

Long before Agamemnon, Menelaus, Helen, the Trojan War, and the long journey of Odysseus in the Odyssey, the House of Atreus had a beginning.

In ancient Greece, the ruler of Pisa, King Oenomaus, has already killed thirteen suitors who dared to race him for the hand of his daughter, Hippodamia. Pelops, the fourteenth, intends to survive.

But Oenomaus's horses cannot be beaten.

Pelops will have to cheat.

Myrtilus, the king's trusted charioteer, knows exactly how.

What neither man understands is that their choices are being influenced by something far older than the gods of Greek mythology. Something that has been watching humanity for thousands of years.

As a single strip of wax transforms a chariot race into murder, betrayal, and a new dynasty, the first chapter in the dark history of the House of Atreus begins.

The Chariot of Pisa is a science-fiction reimagining of ancient Greek mythology, drawing on the legends of Pelops, Hippodamia, Oenomaus, and Myrtilus and reaching forward into the mythology of Agamemnon, the Trojan War, and The Odyssey.
