	Mary Renault - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mary Renault (1905–1983) was an English novelist whose works are still popular with devotees of the historical novel.
		Renault, though unable to read the speeches of Demosthenes in the original Greek, felt that Demosthenean oratory had been grossly overrated throughout history, and that it is no better than vicious propaganda.
		In addition, Renault also proposed two novel theories about Demosthenes: 1) He had thought Alexander was a slave and not knowing his identity wanted to purchase him as a sexual companion while on an emissary to Macedon.

		Mary Renault has shown with "The Charioteer" that she is not only a great historical novelist, she is one of the best writers of the 20th century.
		Mary Renault unquestionably presented an idealized version of Alexander the Great in the first two novels of her "Alexander trilogy," Fire from Heaven and The Persian Boy (which are essential to read before attempting Funeral Games).
		Mary Renault has done an outstanding job of fleshing out the life of Theseus from the time he returned from Crete after escaping from the Labyrinth and became King of Athens until his death.

	The Alexander Trilogy (Mary Renault) - book review
		Mary Renault's trilogy of novels about Alexander the Great (Fire From Heaven, The Persian Boy and Funeral Games) is one of my favourite works of historical fiction.
		Trying to imagine the childhood of someone who was to develop into such an extraordinary person is not an easy task, but Renault does it brilliantly, weaving the thread of known anecdotes together with the skein of her own imagination.
		Alexander's mother's tumultuous relationship with his father, his training in philosophy under Aristotle, the development of his relationship with Hephaistion and his other companions, killing his first man at twelve, his meeting with Demosthenes —; she has done such a good job that I have trouble remembering what is real and what is her invention.

	Magellan's Log: Mary Renault
		A third, lesser-known British writer who came of age as the bombs fell on England was so busy as a nurse during the war that her own escapist literary monument had to wait until the fighting was over.
		Renault’s eight Greek novels are the closest thing we’ll have to a time machine until some 21st century Steve Jobs comes up with a real one and some 21st century Bill Gates "appropriates" it for the mass market.
		Those are functions which Renault’s novels continue to fulfill even through the vicissitudes of life in the third millennium.

	Mary Renault
		I've long been an admirer of Renault's novels; her muscular prose, idealistic philosophies, model heroes, and her affection for gay male characters have struck a very resonant chord in me. After reading Sweetman's biography, I am now very much an admirer of Renault herself: intelligent, talented, courageous and strong.
		Renault tries to tell us that ancient Greece was all but dull, the first time men (and women) had the right to exist for themselves, eventhough they were no kings or Pharaohs.
		Renault's books should be read by everyone who believes in democracy and the surviving of humans on earth.
