## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An eye-opener and good introduction to the legends of Mycenaean Greece and Minoan Crete.
*by N***E on May 20, 2016*

These two books will put you in the head of a well-born and legendary Mycenaean boy as he grows from 5-years-old into a highborn inheritance and travels through Mycenaean Greece and the Aegean Sea on hair-raising adventures. I read these two books a half century ago, and their story of Theseus marked the beginning of my lifelong love for Hellenic history. I am reading them again to assure that I can recommend them for Middle Grade children of friends. At the time they were released, they were called "lusty" by the publisher, because the word "lusty" was riskee and avant garde. How times have changed. They are written by a woman (Mary R.) in the first person Point-of-View of a male (Theseus). When I was a Middle Grade kid going to a Catholic elementary school and Public Junior High, these books would have struck me as a great adventure in exotic cultures with nothing much more than occasional nods to Theseus being a boy who liked girls, and who was aware that some other boys liked boys as-well-as girls. Mary R. just wasn't raunchy, but she did get darker with her later books on Alexander the Great, at which point I actually stopped reading in midstream of that series. But, I'm sticking with these two as o.k. for kids whose parents let them watch prime time TV without hard parental controls.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This edition of the Mary Renault Classic is very nice, in hard cover
*by F***2 on August 4, 2014*

This edition of the Mary Renault Classic is very nice, in hard cover, and highly recommended for those who love Greek Mythology and history. Her treatment of the diversity of male sexuality, though not as in the forefront in this novel, is extremely gratifying and affirmative. It is true that her formulation of male homosexuality is somewhat informed by a 1950s configuration, but whatever her theories it is the acceptance and inclusion of it that adds depth and truth to understanding ancient Greek society.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Greek Synopsis
*by B***N on February 13, 2013*

Excellent tie-together tale from major Greek myths including Perseus, Ariadne, Minotaur and many more. Interpreted with good research of the archeological studies at time this was written. Many questions about customs, and explaining some of the more confusing myths, First book takes you to Crete and back to Athens and death of King Ageus, second book takes you to the fall and death of Perseus.An easy read to review and organize the Greek myths.
