1.I, Claudius : From the Autobiography of Tiberius Claudius, Born 10 B.C., Murdered and Deified A.D. 54 (Vintage International)I, Claudius : From the Autobiography of Tiberius Claudius, Born 10 B.C., Murdered and Deified A.D. 54 (Vintage International)
from Vintage
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
If you like your history lite then I, Claudius is your book. Written as an autobiography of the life of Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus, who became Emperor of Rome in 41 A.D., I, Claudius is actually historical fiction. As such, there seems to be no way to measure the accuracy of the... more info

2.The Twelve Caesars (Penguin Classics)The Twelve Caesars (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
Suetonius gives us a fairly level-headed early history of the Roman leaders and gives a very readable narrative. he goes from leader to leader and we consider him to be the best source for early Rome.

from Signet Classics
Price: $7.95

Customer Review:
I bought this Signet translation by Keith Baines after a frustrating attempt to read the Modern Library translation by William Caxton. Caxton's dry, stilted rendition left me hungry for a cleaner, more modern version.
Here's a prime example from page 1:
Caxton: "It befell in the days of... more info

4.Good-Bye to All That: An Autobiography (Anchor Books)Good-Bye to All That: An Autobiography (Anchor Books)
from Anchor
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
Obviously a must read for all Graves fans and pre-world war Britain. Later chapters will be worth the wait for World War I fans. The reading is clear, fluid, and to the point; making it am excellent reference to the war. I gave it four stars since I am not a Robert Graves fan; although he seemed... more info

5.Greek Gods and HeroesGreek Gods and Heroes
from Laurel Leaf
Price: $5.99

Customer Review:
This book is unique among books about Greek mythology because Robert Graves describes the gods' thrones! I find that information fascinating.

from Vintage
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
I was very excited to pick up the conclusion of the story of Claudius told so brilliantly in the first book, I, Claudius. The second book in the series fell short. For me, far short. It simply spent too much time on various campaigns, foreign lands and peoples. I was much more enthalled by the... more info

Price: $11.56

Customer Review:
If you want a true book on Celtic myth and not some made up, undocumented treatise of some guys imagination then do NOT buy this book. Buy The Gaelic Otherworld, or the Carmina Gadelica, or Irish Bardic Poetry by Bergin. Buy anything but this book because you WON'T find the truth that you're seeking... more info

Customer Review:
First half of Greek mythology reference and stories.
A swashbuckling adventure story writer Graves most certainly wasn't, but that didn't stop me reading this many times. Of course, in a more reference oriented version as this there are many, many notes etc. to let you delve into this as deeply... more info

from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $12.75

Customer Review:
My reaction to Graves' KJ was different from reading I, Claudius. Maybe it's because I'm more familiar with the Gospels and so another version of events colored my own response. Perhaps it's because the telling was not as lively and personal as I Claudius. Still it is good to read this book and to... more info

10.The Golden Ass: The Transformations of LuciusThe Golden Ass: The Transformations of Lucius
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
This is easily my favorite Classic work of literature. Unlike many of the other classics, such as the Odyssey, Iliad, Aeneid, and others, this book kept my attention the entire time and I couldn't wait to finish. Robert Graves does a tremendous job of translating it into an easily readable version.
