Abstract
Mary Renault is probably the best writer in the historical novel genre. The depth, beauty and artistry of her work is undeniable, but it also puts it in a difficult situation with respect to its study and understanding. To refer to the Hellenism of Mary Renault, one usually goes to the book by Bemard Dick who par tially studied the author 's work. This inescapable and unique reference, however, contains errors that sometimes contradict what the novelist tried to express and it is evident that it does not cover all of the author's work. I think a new study should be carried out on the author 's Hellenism. An outline of what such a study should contain is what is attempted in this article.Keywords:
