My “Age of Mythology” stack (Ancient Greece, Norse, and Egyptian mythology/lit) Haven’t figured out the best way to display them yet. Circe and Song of Achilles are probably the most beautiful ones I own, but David Gemmel’s Troy trilogy is my favorite hands down! #troy #davidgemmell #historicalfiction #trojanwar #ancientgreece #madelinemiller #greekmythology #illiad #circe #songofachilles #norsemythology #egyptianmythology #boomstagram #spencerrussellsmithauthor https://www.instagram.com/p/CnGbNLBu-ZX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So, for those who wanted a booktok on some Alexander fiction, here's one that features the work of Judith Tarr, primarily, although I also mention David Gemmell (setting Judy's book(s) against his duology), as well as Jo Graham and Harry Turtledove in passing. I chose Judy to begin as she's written more than one book on Alexander (including one on Olympias), and she's good at incorporating ancient views on magic and myth appropriately into her stories. Most of these also have some (het) romance, although I didn't say a lot about that. In Lord of the Two Lands (and Queen of the Amazons) she treats Hephaistion well, and he is shown as ATG's lover.
I'll do some more, largely on books I liked, to highlight them, as well as on some unusual (and old) ones I have in my collection. As I say in the video, I've been collecting ATG fiction for a very long time now (since the late 80s, in fact).

"There is a darkness in you. In all of us, probably. Beasts we keep chained. Ordinary men have to keep the chains strong, for if we let the beast loose then society will turn upon us with fiery vengeance. Kings though...well, who is there to turn upon them? So the chains are made of straw. It is the curse of kings, Helikaon, that they can become monsters. And they invariably do" #davidgemmell #shieldofthunder #troy #misdibujos #garabatos #mydrawing #blackandwhite (en Villa Pueyrredón, Distrito Federal, Argentina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpgLPUJngJd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dxeuw76q8b5x

Ritorno a 11 anni... "L'araldo drenai attendeva nervosamente dall'altra parte delle grandi porte della sala del trono, fiancheggiato da due guardie nadir i cui occhi obliqui tenevano lo sguardo fisso sull'aquila di bronzo raffigurata sul legno scuro. L'araldo si umettò le labbra aride con una lingua ancora più arida ed assestò il mantello color porpora sulle spalle ossute. Si era sentito così sicuro di sé, nella sala del consiglio di Drenan, posta un migliaio di chilometri più a sud, quando Abalayn gli aveva chiesto di intraprendere questa delicata missione: un viaggio fino alla distante Gulgothir per ratificare i trattati stipulati con Ulric, signore delle tribù nadir." #DavidGemmell #legend. #DrosDelnoch #instaread #bookshelf #booklover #instabook #books #literature #bookstagram #bookme #plot #read #booknow #story #bookporn #book #nook #instagood #bookstore #library #reading #paper #reader #photooftheday #booknerd #imagine #fantasy (presso Officine K - Studio Fotografico) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu8o3TdnOKR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y435s5zrvtob

I think I could walk into any music shop anywhere and with a guitar off the rack, a couple of basic pedals and an amp I could sound just like me. There's no devices, customized or otherwise, that give me my sound. —David Gemmell
