Quote:I know some liberties were taken with some things but over all I loved it and am sorry to have finished them. (Now I'd like to see the BBC series).Graves is actually very, very close to the sources. The only thing he does is: to state as fact what is merely suggested by the ancients. Even strange details (Julia having intercourse on the rostra) are in the sources (Seneca).
