Renault's classic novel of the ancient Athenian theatre.
Set in the fourth century B.C.,the book follows chronologically on her first classical novel,'The Last of the Wine'.The story is seen through the eyes of her hero-narrator,Nikeratos,a gifted tragic actor.
Few aspects of of Greek art have aroused more debate than the techniques of their theatre; and in her detailed description of the production of plays,and of the working life of an actor,Mary renault gives a picture that would seem to be beyond conjecture. Both as a novel and as history 'The Mask of Apollo.' is excitingly alive.
