It arrived this morning - all golden and honey warm.

Alike As Two Bees - a novella set near Athens in the mid 4th century BC - is about an apprentice sculptor called Philon who wishes to use the most beautiful horse he has ever seen as a model for a masterpiece. Her rider, Hilarion, is not beautiful at all but has a cheery grin that Philon can't ignore. Meanwhile Hilarion would be fancying the pants off Philon, if he was wearing any, but will settle for him in a chiton.

Ancient Greece in all its sunlit, olive shaded glory with some gentle loving thrown in for the heck of it.

The above blurb, of course, isn't the offical one but i need to get the spellings checked on that so it will do for now.

I'm pleased. Can you tell I'm pleased?

Woohoo! Wonderful! And really you scarcely notice the torsos. OTOH, if ever there was a setting for which naked torsos was entirely appropriate, this would be it :)

:D thank you! And yes, clothing is pretty optional in the story.

The torsos are there but I got my Greek stuff so I think we're satisfied all round. I suspect that actual Greek readers might be laughing their socks off because the font uses greek letters that don't mean the same but I hope they'll be tolerant.
