 Many thanks for accepting me into your community.  I am a longtime admirer of Ms. Renault.  I was introduced to her writing back in my college days, the mid 1970's.  The head of the Art History dept. under which I was studying was a big fan and friend of hers and her books were required reading in the department, esp. re Hellenistic art history.  As a writer myself, still trying to get published, I owe so much to her studying her style, technique and lyricism.  I just love her writing!  She has the ability to transport the reader back into that other time to sit beside them while they listen to Sokrates lecture Alexis and Lysis.  The Last of the Wine is my favorite book.  

Anyway, thanks again.  

Lysis

It's really good to have a long-term fan of Renault's in this community. We're glad to have you, and will undoubtedly pester you endlessly about Hellenic art history, and your own stories.

Thank you for joining.

LOTW is my favourite ancient too! Which is not to say I don't love all the rest of her Ancients novels; just that I love this one 'first'.

found you here
