Description: Alcmaeon - 'soldier, singer and superlative seducer' - having murdered his mother, is hounded by the Furies from woman's bed to woman's bed across the ancient world. As Greek punishments go, perhaps not the most unpleasant, until he finds himself unwittingly in bed with his long-lost daughter.
