Funeral Games - Mary Renault - A Short Summary & Review

 

A short summary of Funeral Games:

The ending of Alexander's Empire.

My favorite Mary Renault quote from the book:

"Whatever the stars said, good food was good food."

Questions to ponder while reading Funeral Games:

Why do we allow greed to destroy legacies?

Why do empires require an autocrat rather than a democracy to exist?

My review of the book:

Jumps about a bit.

Well-researched endings.

A great peek into the cultures of ancient society.
