What is Three Mistakes and a Monster about?

In 'Three Mistakes and a Monster', two captivating plays bring ancient Greek myths to life. In the first, Zeus, seeking worshippers, creates beings of gold, silver, and bronze, but remains dissatisfied until Prometheus crafts humans. The second play follows the Sphinx, who guards the road to Thebes with a deadly riddle. Many fail to solve it, until a limping traveller succeeds, winning the queen's hand in marriage.
