[Historical Novel of Alexander's Life, from Childhood to the Age of 20].  librisissimo | Oct 24, 2020 |  Well this took me a long time to read. I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed - I've been hyping this up for myself since I first heard about it circa 2011, and it just didn't deliver what I was expecting. Totally my own fault, though, and overall this was still really interesting to read and my obsession with Ancient Greece is still going strong. Now, which retelling do I pick up next? Or do I finally go back and actually read the Iliad & the Odyssey? (  ) j_tuffi | May 30, 2020 | I didn't enjoy this book. Alexander end up being boring. Mary Renault made him untouchable, like the cold statue on the cover of my book. There were so many different characters that I was surprise at the lack of interaction between them all. Mary Renault has open slate to write an interesting and intriguing character, since not much is known of Alexander early childhood or teen year. Even the stories of the Greek Gods had more heart and life in them than this story. (  ) lemonpop | Nov 22, 2017 | This novel requires full knowledge of Greek history and mythology to appreciate. Not for me. ( ) stef7sa | Jan 5, 2017 | long and not that interesting. ( ) mahallett | Oct 24, 2016 | ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Alexander's beauty, strength, and defiance were apparent from birth, but his boyhood honed those gifts into the makings of a king. His mother, Olympias, and his father, King Philip of Macedon, fought each other for their son's loyalty, teaching Alexander politics and vengeance from the cradle. His love for the youth Hephaistion taught him trust, while Aristotle's tutoring provoked his mind and Homer's Iliad fueled his aspirations. Killing his first man in battle at the age of twelve, he became regent at sixteen and commander of Macedon's cavalry at eighteen, so that by the time his father was murdered, Alexander's skills had grown to match his fiery ambition.
