FIRE FROM HEAVEN
- Mary Renault, Fire from Heaven, hardcover
Alexanderâ€™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 sonâ€™s loyalty, teaching Alexander politics and vengeance from the cradle. His love for the youth Hephaistion taught him trust, while Aristotleâ€™s tutoring provoked his mind and Homerâ€™s Iliad fueled his aspirations. Killing his first man in battle at the age of twelve, he became regent at sixteen and commander of Macedonâ€™s cavalry at eighteen, so that by the time his father was murdered, Alexanderâ€™s skills had grown to match his fiery ambition.
