It continues the story of the mythological hero Theseus after his return from Crete. All my sense of the ancient world - its values, its style, the scent of its wars and passions - comes from Mary Renault. The Bull from the Sea is the sequel to Mary Renaults The King Must Die. I never learned Latin or Greek I wasn't raised on the classics, even in translation. ![]() Her characters live vividly both in their own time, and in ours - Madeline Miller Mary Renault's portraits of the ancient world are fierce, complex and eloquent, infused at every turn with her life-long passion for the Classics. She shows us their strangeness discerning, sure-footed, challenging our values, piquing our curiosity, she leads us through an alien landscape that moves and delights us. She does not pretend the past is like the present, or that the people of ancient Greece were just like us. Mary Renault is a shining light to both historical novelists and their readers.
