Yeah, exactly! Alexander was a REAL prince, after all, as opposed to just a
Grand King. But I could totally see their private bickering being both
super adorable and super serious because Hephaestion won't let Alexander
make the wrong decisions, prince or no prince.
I LOVE MARY RENAULT. I don't know where I got a copy of The Charioteer from
but I was absolutely HOOKED. And then I read her Alexander stuff and was
all ...yes please this is great. Charioteer is still my favorite though.
She has such a knack for writing lines that stick in your head.
The description of Ralph as having the bleak courage of the
self-disciplined neurotic just stuck with me forever. I want to write like
that. Things that resonate and ring true and stay with you long after
you've closed the book.
