Mary Renault's The Last of the Wine

Mary Reynolds's "The Last Wine of the Last Wine" was written by Mary Reynolds and was published in 1956 by a classic novel with Pantheon Book, historical information and entertainment. It was a classical Greek pastime during the Peloponnese War when Pericle was the leader of the city of Athens. Alexander was a soldier in Athens who took over the war and told the story in the first person stories. He reviewed his childhood, his experience as a soldier, and his social reaction to the embarrassment of the Peloponnesos war.

From 1969 to 1981, Mary Reynolds wrote a trilogy of historical novels about the life of Alexander: the fire from heaven (about his early life), the Persian boys (his conquest of Persia, About his expedition to India) as well as his death, Bagoas, Persian u official, Alexander eromenos) and funeral games (about his posthumous events). Alexander also appeared in the Renault novel "Apollo's Mask" and directly mentioned the "last wine" and indirect "singer of praise". In addition to the novel, Renault also wrote the nonfiction biography "Alexander's Nature"

Mary Renault tells the story of a classic hero hero, Theseus, which was said to have been alive just before the Trojan horse war. This book is very attractive to me, but the author does not follow the classical legend in several respects. This may be a good skill and brings a sense of freshness to the story, but some deviations change the structure of the story. Many details were added to the story of Renault to make the story more flavorful. After all, everyone told Mary Reynolds to write a very reliable story of Theusus, and perhaps better than the ancients to change the story into reality.

Mary Renault has departed from the classic story of Theuses as follows. Theuses is a cousin of Hercules and his composition is very similar to him, Renault writes that he is not a cousin of Hercules but a smart dwarf that makes up his body. . In the story, Theuses thought about Hercules many times. Just as he was a hero who was lost for a long time. Because Theseus and Hercules live at the same time, this is also misleading; they are actually friends. In Euripides, when Hercules crazy killed his family, he was comforted with Theseus and named them explicitly as generations of the generation. In Renault's story, adding a thing that did not appear in the classical story like Eleusis did not appear in the classic story of Theusus, but it was found that adding it to the story is not wrong It was. Renault converted the maze of the maze into a palace. It was a strange turning point. She also explained Minotaur as a palace young prince cow helmet. A man with a bull's head
