About This Book

The concluding section of the epic follows the hero's return to his kingdom and the uneasy aftermath of victory, including the exile of his wife after public doubt, her refuge in a sage's hermitage and the birth and upbringing of their twin sons. Episodes recount the youths' confrontation with the royal household during a sacrificial rite, their eventual recognition, the wife's final vindication and departure, and the ruler's last deeds. Interwoven scenes and speeches examine duty, kingship, familial sacrifice, and the moral tensions between public honor and private justice.
