The Alexander Trilogy by Mary Renault
This is Mary Renault's masterly evocation of ancient Greece and Alexander the conqueror, beautiful, beloved - and flawed. Now published for the first time in one volume.

In Fire From Heaven a young Alexander unravels the mysteries of a violent adult world and discovers the divinity deep within him. Later, as he conquers ever eastwards, the love between him and Bagoas is immortalised in The Persian Boy. Then, as death comes to Alexander in Funeral Games, the human vultures gather round.
