Title: A wonderful book! Everyone should read it!
Review: This wonderful story of a young man living in the Athens of the 5th century BC is about friendships, family values, honor, death, love and coming of age in a time of great change. The reader is able to feel with Alexias as he watches his city, the birthplace of democracy and home of humankind's greatest thinkers, gradually fall to the Spartans and into the depths of despair. Mary Renault's ability to take human emotions in perfect historical context is astounding. This book should be read by anyone who has an interest in anything, because it covers it all!
