The Glimpse of a Strong Greek Light Novelist Linda Proud assesses the work of Mary Renault The moments recur and, flipped through like one of those little cartoon books we had as children, give the semblance of movement. But they are frozen moments, scenes from an unhappy, frustrated childhood. The first scene is our last history lesson before the long vacation. We were neither bright children nor good,and we had the teacher we deserved: fierce, cruel and uncompromising. On that particular day, she moved furiously between the desks, issuing sheets of paper duplicated via a stencil on a Gestetner machine. The King Must Die by Mary Renault Special Order Vintage Books Paperback Our Price: View to Buy The ink was purple, the sheet smelt of methylated spirits, and the list was of titles for holiday reading, but where was Tudor England or The Repeal of the Corn Laws? From the titles you would not know that these were history books. The titles were strange; the titles were interesting. My hand shot up, perhaps for the first time ever. 'Please Miss!' I was too vibrantly alert to be shy. 'Are these novels?' For once Mrs C. looked almost capable of loving. 'Yes, girlie. It's called historical fiction.'

Edition reviewed: Arrow, 2004, ISBN 0-09-946353-9 The Bull from the Sea The King Must Die The Bull from the Sea The legend of Theseus belongs to the same sort of period as the Trojan War, perhaps best described as legendary history. How far the legends were based on real events and people is uncertain; what is certain is that they exerted a powerful hold on the imagination and are still being retold now, thousands of years later. The Bull from the Sea Masterful retelling of the Theseus legend. Has anyone else read it? Posted by Carla at 7:30 PM Labels: book review Bronze Age Bull From The Sea Greece ... Theseus 21 comments: Bernita said... Read some of Renault - a long time ago. Lovely review, Carla.

In the Author's Note at the end of The King Must Die , she explains why she decided to make him a small man and concludes: "If one examines the legend in this light, a well-defined personality emerges. It is that of a light-weight; brave and aggressive, physically tough and quick; highly sexed and rather promiscuous; touchily proud, but with a feeling for the underdog; resembling Alexander in his precocious competence, gift of leadership, and romantic sense of destiny."
