Thanks to my Aunt, I have read my first Mary Renault novel set in the Hellenic age and by no means it will not be the last.
Renault clearly knows her stuff - she uses her intimate knowledge of the subject and culture by using accurate details without it feeling forced or over-researched. A great sense of realism develop between the character's relationships and interactions, undulating throughout.
