Rosemary Sutcliff’s novels about Roman Britain and Homer’s Greece have become beloved classics of the historical genre.

The Eagle of the Ninth, about the quest of Marcus Aquila to recover a lost eagle standard, has now been made into the movie The Eagle (see New Movies).

THE GREEK GODS have been spending a lot of time on earth lately, to judge by a spate of recent fiction...

In The Infinities by Man Booker Prize winner John Banville, Greek deities flit about an English manor where the patriarch is dying, playing gleeful and lustful tricks on the inhabitants. Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips finds the Olympian deities living in a tumbledown house in modern London; Deus Ex Machina by Maria Aragon likewise has the ancient gods complicating life for a modern Londoner. Steven Sherrill’s The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break finds the mythic man-beast keeping his horns down and trying to get by in a trailer park in North Carolina.

All these novels owe a debt to Thorne Smith’s classic Night Life of the Gods, which takes place in Prohibition-era New York; but when asked for his inspiration, Banville mentions Heinrich Von Kleist’s 1807 play Amphitryon, which was in turn inspired by Molière’s Amphitryon and the ancient Roman comedy Amphitryon by Plautus. The gods have been visiting earth for a long, long time...

A SONG FOR NERO is Tom Holt’s latest comic novel set in the ancient world, with a stunner of a “what-if?” twist on the life of Nero. Previously, in Olympiad, Holt lampooned the creation of the first Games. In The Walled Orchard, he viewed the Golden Age of Athens through the eyes of a cynical goat-herd. In Alexander at the World’s End, he spun parallel stories of two Alexanders—one busy conquering the world, the other struggling to care for his own village.
