Mary Renault is my favorite historical fiction writer. My sophomore English teacher in high school introduced me to her, and I've remained devoted ever since.

She introduced me to another side of Alexander the Great. I couldn't be more thankful (though I could have done without the Bagoas character. *g*) Alexander, Perseus, she brought them both to life. Happy Birthday, Mary Renault!
