Available Copies Details Synopsis

�Written with her usual vigor and imagination...Mary Renault has a great talent.��The New York Times Book ReviewAlexander�s beauty, strength, and defiance were apparent from birth, but his boyhood honed those gifts into the makings of a king. His mother, Olympias, and his father, King Philip of Macedon, fought each other for their son�s loyalty, teaching Alexander politics and vengeance from the cradle. His love for the youth Hephaistion taught him trust, while Aristotle�s tutoring provoked his mind and Homer�s Iliad fueled his aspirations. Killing his first man in battle at the age of twelve, he became regent at sixteen and commander of Macedon�s cavalry at eighteen, so that by the time his father was murdered, Alexander�s skills had grown to match his fiery ambition.
