December 312009
I am planning on reading a variety of fiction books to help me memorize the culture, religion and philosphy of ancient civilizations. They must be during the ancient times, and i mean like China in the Tang Dyn. or the early Roman Empire. Any suggestions?
Mary Renault-Ancient Greece.
Sprague De Camp-Ancient Greece
Robert Graves-Ancient Rome
What is "AP" World History?
Anyway Mary Renault wrote some fine and little read nowadays novels about the myths of Greece plus a great series on Alexander.
De Camp, primarily a science fiction author wrote some good adventure novels on engineering feats in the ancient world.
Robert Graves wrote I Claudius and Claudius the God, the best social history ever written of the the Age of Augustus.
