Dante Alighieri was born in the city-state Florence in 1265. Dante Alighieri, or simply Dante (May 14/J– September 13/14, 1321), is one of the greatest poets in the Italian language with the comic story-teller, Boccaccio, and the poet, Petrarch, he forms the classic trio of Italian authors. ![]() Murder on Bamboo Lane by Naomi Hirahara5/12/2023 ![]() Hirahara’s writing will have readers constantly guessing who the killer is as she provides us with a number of possibilities that have Ellie riding around in circles on her LAPD-issued bike.

I believe this criticism is made primarily by people who correctly understand that Cleopatra the Great, Selene’s mother, was not a black African queen in the tradition of the Kandake of Meroe. One of the criticisms most often leveled at my Nile series is that because the Ptolemaic Dynasty considered itself Macedonian Greek, the emphasis I place on Egyptian culture–and Cleopatra Selene’s awareness of it–is somehow historically inaccurate or anachronistic.
