[Cyclopean Squid]

I've only read the one. I managed to finish it, but honestly there was no hope for me to enjoy it given the way it treated my hero out of time, Octavian. If I had read another of his works before that I may have been a fan. As it is, circumstances are such that I feel a splanchnic reaction to the mere mention of Graves.

Octavian/Augustus may be a hero of yours, but Graves treated him very fairly in I CLAUDIUS. If you don't believe me, read the contemporaneous writers of Augustus' day.
