Burried by his brother Doug... Unfortunately his brother Robin was incarcerated at the time.

*I, Claudius* and *Claudius, the God* are certainly major works of historical fiction. Thank you for sharing information about the author's personal life, poetic talents, and war experiences.

"The White Goddess" is full of interesting and thought-provoking facts, although I'm not sire I can accept the book's overall thesis.

His translation of Apuleius' "The Golden Ass" has also held up well.

Thank your succinct tale of Graves’ life. He is the least favorite of mine among the three but I’d forgotten about the ‘I Claudius’ books. I look forward to your travel through history!

Really enjoyed all three writings on these men. Such were interesting, but scary times for war is never a good thing.
