hi friends, got a new computer from santa and tried to enter porthos.org into my new computer and it's in another language beside english. any recomendations?? just read green's book..what a wake up call after reading mary renault! tina d

Remember that Renault is a historical FICTION writer and she still is one of the best as far as relating the Greek stories (also those of Alexander's life) in a fiction novel. Green is a historian. And since the time Renault wrote her trilogy on Alexander there have been many new insights and discoveries. (The tombs at Aigai, for instance and Aristotle's school at Meiza).

Greetings,I agree with Ruthaki. Further, Green makes his own blunders in trying to apply traits to Hephaistion with nothing to back them up, as well as bringing his own biases into his perception of Alexander, the people surrounding him, and the times. So far, Renault's historical trilogy still stands as the mark others strive to reach, in terms of creatng a world and peopleing it. Regards,

Tina, I think it's just a matter of a typographical error. If you mistakenly typed Porthos.org into your new computer you will indeed get a foreign website. Just take out the "r" and you will find this site with no problems. :-)Best regards,Amyntoros
