I love historical fiction, but primarily read Tudor works. I'm looking to branch out into other areas of history that I enjoy.
Can anyone here recommend good historical fiction on the above or just authors in general and I can check out their work myself? Thank you!
I did google, but it's like needle in a haystack, so many indie authors writing "historically", but forgetting the history haha
We have a FAQ on the historical accuracy of certain TV series, movies and videogames including HBO's "Rome" which featured a portrayal of my area of study (Ptolemaic Egypt) in what I can only describe as a garbage fire but otherwise did less of a bad job portraying the Roman Republic than most other things.
Christian Cameron does some excellent Greek historical fiction. He does a series based around the battle of Marathon and a tome of a book about Alexander. While both are excellent reads, he does take some liberties with the historical accounts to make better fiction. Mostly conglomerating a bunch of real people with unpronounceable names into easy to remember characters.
