| The Greek World of Mary Renault | ||
| Historical novels can sometimes be quite misleading, but if you have found Ancient Greece to be an interesting area of study, you will find much to appreciate in the novels of Mary Renault. She was capable of very careful research and telling a good story. Her best series focused on the life and legacy of Alexander the Great. ( http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~stephan/Renault/renault.html ) | ||
