Five authors that engage with classic myths and historical accounts from the ancient world of Greece and Rome and, in the process, create their own modern classics.
1
Miller weaves a Circean spell over the reader, drawing on various myths from Odysseus to Daedalus, but focusing on giving human depth to the often overlooked character of Circe.
2
No book has transported me back to Republican Rome like this one.
3
An archaeological excavation, in poetry and prose, of the thoughts of a Roman emperor.
4
An "autobiography" that delves into the madness and power games associated with the Julio-Claudian Dynasty.
5
A wonderful reimagining of the young life of Alexander the Great.
