The Last of the Wine by Mary Renault

The Last of the Wine by Mary Renault

Set during the genuinely devastating final years of the Peloponnesian War, a young Athenian comes of age under the philosophical guidance of Socrates himself, while his deep, socially accepted love for a fellow student unfolds against the backdrop of Athens's declining glory.

Renault writes with meticulous classical scholarship and genuine emotional depth, treating both the philosophical education and the romantic relationship with historically grounded seriousness, making this a landmark work of both historical fiction and early LGBTQ+ literature.

A landmark historical novel of ancient Athens, considered a classic of both historical and LGBTQ+ fiction.
