  • Funeral Games is the final book in Mary Renault's Alexander trilogy. While Alexander himself appears only briefly at the beginning of the story, his presence hangs over it and his death acts as the catalyst for the events of the novel. The king is dead. Having conquered Persia and beyond, Alexander falls ill and dies while in Babylon, the capital of his new empire. Having left no heir and no instructions for a regent, his deaths sparks a succession crisis which swiftly engulfs the Macedonian Empire. With everyone staking their claim for the throne or the regency, Greece and Persia are torn asunder by in-fighting and political scheming. When the dust settles, many are dead, and the empire is irreversibly fractured into several warring factions. It took Alexander seven years to carve out his empire; it would collapse in as many years.
